White Sox add former Astros star immediately before weekend set against Tigers
The White Sox make big roster decisions ahead of crucial weekend series.
The Chicago White Sox have made a significant pitching move as they approach a crucial weekend series against the Detroit Tigers, a key competitor in the American League Central. The team has recalled right-hander José Urquidy, a veteran pitcher with substantial postseason experience who previously played for the Houston Astros.
Urquidy's addition comes after Chicago optioned right-hander Tanner McDougal to the minors and placed right-hander Davis Martin on the 15-day injured list due to a right middle finger blister. Martin's injury has been a concern, as his ERA has significantly increased since June. The White Sox are currently 62-58 and leading the AL Central by 2.5 games, aiming to secure a playoff spot for the first time since 2021.
Urquidy's experience and ability to deliver quality innings could prove valuable for the White Sox as they fight for a postseason berth.
