White Sox Option Caleb Freeman, Recall Owen White Ahead Detroit Series

The Chicago White Sox made roster moves involving pitchers Caleb Freeman and Owen White ahead of a series finale against the Detroit Tigers. Caleb Freeman was optioned to Triple-A Charlotte after posting a 5.40 ERA in limited major league innings, while Owen White was recalled from Charlotte to strengthen the bullpen. White, a waiver claim in spring training, has struggled at Triple-A with a 5.24 ERA but is expected to provide bullpen depth and may temporarily fill in the rotation following Jonathan Cannon's placement on the injured list due to a lower back strain. Freeman has been described as a fearless pitcher with a good fastball and spin, having spent most of the season in Triple-A with a 3.24 ERA over 16.2 innings. The moves reflect the White Sox's need to adjust their pitching staff amid injuries and performance considerations.
