The White Sox will select former first-round pick Jacob Gonzalez onto the MLB roster, reports Jeff Passan of ESPN. James Fegan of Sox Machine reported this evening that Gonzalez would likely get the call if Munetaka Murakami went on the injured list. Manager Will Venable told reporters postgame that Murakami would likely be down for a couple weeks with a right hamstring issue.
Chicago will need to open a spot on the 40-man roster. Reliever Jordan Leasure, who just went on the 15-day injured list today with a flexor strain, is a candidate for a move to the 60-day IL. The righty said Friday that he’ll be shut down entirely for four weeks after pitching through some discomfort for more than a month (via Fegan). Leasure indicated there’s a lot of inflammation but nothing structurally amiss with his elbow.
More to come.
Yes Sir
Not a bad birthday present for the kid!
3 for 3 tonight at Charlotte including a home-run. 58 RBI’s this season, .311 ave and it’s not even June. He’s earned a shot. Hopefully Braden Montgomery and Hagen Smith also coming up soon hopefully.
I am so happy for Jacob Gonzalez. 1st rd pick, struggled for years. Put the work in, and now he is here to stay. Have a good felling he will get the job done. Go get ‘em my man
