White Sox Place Davis Martin on IL With Blister, Call Up Urquidy
Chicago placed starter Davis Martin on the IL with a blister and recalled Urquidy to fill the roster spot, per MLB.com's Jason Foster.
The Chicago White Sox placed right-hander Davis Martin on the IL with a blister and recalled Urquidy to take his spot on the active roster, per MLB.com's Jason Foster.
Martin's return window is unspecified in the reporting — the material does not indicate how long he is expected to miss.
Urquidy steps into a rotation that has been in near-constant motion. Sean Newcomb was named the White Sox starting pitcher for tomorrow's game per beat reporter Scott Merkin, so Urquidy's exact role — starter, bulk arm, or bullpen depth — is not yet spelled out in the available reporting.
What to watch
Whether Urquidy slots directly into Martin's rotation turn or serves in a different capacity is the immediate open question for Chicago's pitching plans.
