Chicago White Sox Place Pitcher Martín Pérez On Injured List
The White Sox placed left-handed pitcher Martín Perez on the 15-day injured list with left elbow inflammation, the team announced ahead of Saturday's game.
To help replace Pérez, the White Sox called up left-handed pitcher Jared Shuster from the Triple-A Charlotte Knights. Pérez left Friday's game after three innings and 52 pitches with what the team called left forearm soreness. He allowed five hits, four earned runs, two walks and zero strikeouts.
Pérez had been perhaps the White Sox most reliable starter the first three times through the rotation, allowing just three earned runs across 17 innings.
Shuster is a 26-year-old, 6-foot-3 lefty who has appeared in six games out of the bullpen in Triple-A this season. Across 11.1 innings, he's allowed 10 hits, two earned runs, two home runs, three walks and 15 strikeouts, good for a 1.59 ERA and a 1.14 WHIP.
Saturday's game is scheduled for 4:10 p.m. ET game against the Boston Red Sox at Fenway Park.
