The White Sox announced that they have reinstated right-hander from the 60-day injured list. In a corresponding move, fellow righty was placed directly onto the 60-day IL with a sprain of his right ulnar collateral ligament. Daryl Van Schouwen of the Chicago Sun-Times relayed prior to the official announcement that Foster would be activated and Leone would be going on the IL. Foster, now 29, had a decent showing with the Sox from 2020 to 2022. In that time, he made 108 appearances for the Sox, allowing 4.39 earned runs per nine innings. He struck out 23.7% of batters faced and gave out walks at an 8.2% clip. Unfortunately, he required Tommy John surgery in April of 2023, turning that into a totally lost season for Blake Wheeler Jersey him. He has been on the injured list since then and began a rehab a signment in June of this year. He has thrown 14 2/3 innings on the farm this year as part of that rehab with a 2.45 ERA, 30.8% strikeout rate and 7.7% walk rate. Foster qualified for arbitration for the first time after the 2023 campaign. Though he was still rehabbing from his surgery, the Sox tendered him a contract. But due to his mi sed time, he was only able to get a raise to $750K, barely above this years $740K league minimum salary. Hell likely be looking at yet another modest raise in arbitration this winter, since hes already mi sed most of the season. The Sox can get a look at him over the next few weeks and decide what role they want him to play on next years club. As for Leone, its unclear exactly how serious this injury is, but its evidently enough to end his season. By going directly onto the 60-day IL, he cant come back during the regular season. The Sox are trending towards one of the worst seasons in history, currently sporting a record of 29-93, so the playoffs obviously arent remotely a consideration. The veteran signed a minor league deal with the Sox and cracked the Opening Day roster, but hes spent most of the season on the IL. Lower back tightne s put him there for a couple of weeks in May. Just a few days after returning from that i sue, he went back to the IL with right elbow inflammation. That elbow i sue put him out of action for more than two months and he only just returned in the first week of August. Overall, he has to sed 19 innings on the year but wont be able to add to that total. A UCL sprain doesnt nece sarily always lead to surgery, but even the non-surgical recovery path requires a lengthy layoff. If he does require some kind of UCL surgery, that will likely wipe out his 2025 season, given the year-plus recovery times with such significant operations. If hes able to avoid the surgeons table, he will be looking to return for a 12th straight MLB season. He has 427 career appearances with a 3.94 ERA. Tyler Pitlick Jersey
