White Sox Sign Altavilla After Castro Season-Ending Injury

News summary

The Chicago White Sox have signed right-handed reliever Dan Altavilla to a one-year, $1 million major league contract, filling the bullpen spot left vacant by Miguel Castro's season-ending knee injury. Castro suffered a torn patellar tendon in his right knee while covering first base during a recent game and is set for surgery, leading the team to place him on the injured list. Altavilla, 32, had been performing well in Triple-A Charlotte with a 2.49 ERA before opting out of his minor league contract and rejoining the White Sox on the major league roster. White Sox manager Will Venable praised Altavilla's hard work and effective four-pitch mix, highlighting his potential as a positive contributor. Altavilla's return marks a comeback after missing significant time due to Tommy John surgery, demonstrating resilience and readiness to support the team. The move restores the White Sox to full roster capacity while addressing the sudden gap caused by Castro's injury.
