Davis Martin Hits IL With Finger Blister
The White Sox right-hander is sidelined for at least two weeks with a blister that may have contributed to a recent ejection.
The White Sox placed starter Davis Martin on the 15-day injured list with a right middle finger blister. Martin was ejected from his most recent start after two errant pitches, and he later said the blister caused him to lose his grip. Martin has struggled since June, posting a 7.06 ERA in 57.1 innings after a strong start to the season. The Sox, leading the AL Central by 2.5 games, will need to piece together rotation depth during his absence.
