Right-hander Jonathan Cannon<\/a> is expected to be recalled by the White Sox, per Scott Merkin of MLB.com<\/a>. Grant Taylor<\/a> will serve as an opener on Sunday. Cannon last pitched on Tuesday, so he\u2019d be on regular rest for bulk relief work. Right-hander Duncan Davitt<\/a> is expected to be sent down to make room for Cannon.<\/p>\n

Chicago has an opening in the rotation after the struggling Shane Smith<\/a> was demoted<\/a> on Wednesday. The move initiated a series of pitching staff shuffles that will continue with the addition of Cannon. Left-hander\u00a0Tyler Schweitzer<\/a> was promoted when Smith was sent down. He made his big-league debut that evening, allowing a run over 1 1\/3 innings. Schweitzer was optioned back to the minors the following day. Chris Murphy<\/a> was also placed on the injured list. Davitt and Brandon Eisert<\/a> were recalled on Thursday.<\/p>\n

Cannon has been a consistent member of the White Sox rotation the past two seasons. He\u2019s made 45 appearances since debuting in April 2024, with 38 of those outings coming as a starter. The results have been underwhelming. Cannon has a 5.09 ERA across 228 big-league innings, supported by a 4.85 xERA and a 4.64 SIERA.<\/p>\n

The 25-year-old Cannon got off to a solid start in 2025. He pitched Chicago\u2019s second game of the year, tossing five scoreless frames against the Angels. Cannon delivered a 3.76 ERA over his first 10 starts. He stumbled from there, ceding 10 earned runs over his next two appearances, including five home runs. Cannon hit the injured list with a back strain after that difficult two-start stretch. He was up and down with the big-league club for the rest of the campaign. With the White Sox adding lefty Anthony Kay<\/a> in the offseason, Cannon was squeezed out of a rotation spot. He\u2019s been tagged for eight earned runs over 8 2\/3 innings through two Triple-A appearances.<\/p>\n

Davitt debuted on Friday against the Royals. The 26-year-old walked Kyle Isbel<\/a> to lead off the eighth inning, then coaxed a double play grounder from Maikel Garcia<\/a>. He got Bobby Witt Jr.<\/a> to fly out to end the frame. Chicago acquired Davitt from the Rays in the Adrian Houser<\/a> trade last season, along with first baseman Curtis Mead<\/a> and right-hander Ben Peoples<\/a>. While his first taste of the majors came as a reliever, he\u2019d been exclusively a starter the past two minor league seasons. Davitt has an ERA of nearly 8.00 through two outings at Triple-A this year.<\/p>\n
