White Sox Place Davis Martin on IL With Blister, Call Up Urquidy

Chicago placed starter Davis Martin on the 15-day IL with a right middle finger blister and recalled Urquidy to fill the vacancy, per Scott Merkin.

Davis Martin is heading to the 15-day IL with a right middle finger blister, and the White Sox have recalled Urquidy to fill the roster vacancy, per Scott Merkin of MLB.com.

The roster math

The 15-day IL placement means Martin could be sidelined for at least two weeks. Urquidy steps into a Chicago rotation that has been in active flux — Scott Merkin also reported that Sean Newcomb was named the starter for tomorrow's game, so Urquidy's precise role and turn in the order remains something to watch.

What we don't know yet

The club has not indicated a timetable for Martin's return beyond the 15-day minimum, and no further detail on the blister's severity has been reported. Whether Urquidy slots into a regular starting role or serves in a more flexible capacity is also unconfirmed.

The move is one of several roster adjustments the White Sox have made in a busy stretch that also included claiming catcher Jake Rogers off waivers.
