Jonathan Cannon Set for First Start Since Injury

Chicago White Sox right-hander Jonathan Cannon will return from the injured list to start Sunday’s game against the San Francisco Giants, marking his first MLB appearance since June 3 after recovering from a lower-back strain. Cannon completed a rehab assignment with Triple-A Charlotte, throwing 48 pitches over three scoreless innings, and reported feeling healthy and ready. Manager Will Venable confirmed after Saturday's game that Cannon will start Sunday. Before his injury, Cannon posted a 4.66 ERA across 12 appearances this season. Cannon and the team highlighted his rapid recovery and ongoing preventative exercises to avoid future injuries. His return is an important step as the White Sox evaluate young pitchers during their ongoing rebuild.
