White Sox's Chris Volstad: Knocked around in Anaheim
Chris Volstad was tagged for three earned runs over one inning Thursday against the Angels.Volstad entered the fold in the eighth inning and was tasked with facing the heart of the Angels' order and he was subsequently knocked around. Mike Trout led things off with a double before Justin Upton brought him around. Volstad later allowed two more runs to score before inducing a popout to end the inning. It's difficult to pin down the Chicago White Sox's end game strategy now that Joaquim Soria is Brewer, but if Volstad had designs on challenging for the closing role, this was a poor start. Jace Fry seems to be the leading candidate to close for the Southsiders for now.

The team's bullpen ranks 27th with a 5.35 ERA (3.65 FIP), so anyone that can get outs consistently has a shot at staying in Chicago.

White Sox's Chris Volstad: Joins White Sox on Thursday
Chris Volstad was called up from Triple-A Charlotte on Thursday.In order to make room for the right-hander, Chicago shifted Carlos Rodon (shoulder) to the 60-day disabled list. Volstad just missed out on earning an Opening Day roster spot with the Chicago White Sox, but did enough to impress the team in spring training to warrant this promotion. He looked shaky during his first regular-season appearance of 2018 with Charlotte, giving up five earned runs over 4.2 innings in his start Friday. Looking ahead, it's likely that he will be utilized as a multi-inning reliever.
