Anthony Ranaudo: To pursue opportunities in Korea
Anthony Ranaudo was released by the White Sox on Wednesday and will pursue opportunities in the Korean Baseball Organization.This move makes sense for Ranaudo, as he had essentially exhausted his opportunities to pitch in a big league rotation, compiling a 7.01 ERA over 86 innings. He could go on to pitch multiple seasons in Korea or he could remake himself and attempt to get back into the big leagues in the coming years.

White Sox's Anthony Ranaudo: Rocked for nine runs Sunday
Anthony Ranaudo (1-1) got hammered for nine runs on 11 hits -- including three home runs -- and a walk over 4,2 innings Sunday while striking out three, but was able to escape with a no-decision in a wild 13-11 extra-inning win over the Twins.His ERA now sits at an astonishing 10.13 through 29.1 innings with a putrid 3.1 HR/9. Even if James Shields' back injury forces him to miss his next turn in the rotation, don't expect the Chicago White Sox to turn to Ranaudo if they can at all help it.

White Sox's Anthony Ranaudo: Serves up another homer in Tuesday's no-decision
Anthony Ranaudo pitched five innings, allowing three runs on five hits and three walks while striking out two Tigers in Tuesday's no-decision.As sad as it may be, Tuesday was Ranaudo's best performance in quite some time. He was clinging to a one-run lead before giving up yet another homer -- his seventh in 24.2 innings -- in his final frame of the night. The 26-year-old has yet to show any signs that would suggest owning him could help a fantasy team under any circumstance. Ranaudo is scheduled to make his next start Sunday in Minnesota.

White Sox's Anthony Ranaudo: Ripped for six runs by Mariners
Anthony Ranaudo gave up six runs on five hits and two walks over 5.1 innings against the Mariners on Thursday, but didn't factor into the decision.Thank the offense for bailing him out, as Ranaudo didn't deserve to avoid a loss. He gave up another homer -- his sixth in 19.2 MLB innings this year -- and his four strikeouts represent a pitiful season high. All in all, he hasn't shown that he's ready for the majors, and with his 27th birthday just two weeks away, the big right-hander certainly can't be considered a prospect anymore.

White Sox's Anthony Ranaudo: Next start scheduled for Thursday
Anthony Ranaudo will take the hill for the Chicago White Sox Thursday against the Mariners, MLB.com's Scott Merkin reports.It sounds like Miguel Gonzalez (groin) won't be ready to return in the Seattle series, leaving the door open for Ranaudo to get the starting nod Thursday, followed by Chris Sale and Jose Quintana. Ranaudo has already made two starts for the White Sox this season: a quality start against the Cubs, and a rougher outing against the Indians in which he allowed five earned runs in four innings. Felix Hernandez is currently lined up to oppose Ranaudo in this matchup, which puts a dent in his fantasy upside.

White Sox's Anthony Ranaudo: Next start TBD
Anthony Ranaudo is not scheduled to pitch Tuesday or Wednesday for the Chicago White Sox, MLB.com's Scott Merkin reports.Carlos Rodon will start Tuesday with James Shields starting Wednesday against the Phillies. Merkin speculates that Ranaudo will take the ball in the four-game series against the Mariners later that week, although that has not been confirmed by the team. If Miguel Gonzalez (groin) is able to return from the DL in the minimum number of days, he could slot into the rotation next weekend and Ranaudo would not make another start in the foreseeable future.

White Sox's Anthony Ranaudo: Gives up two home runs in no-decision
Anthony Ranaudo (1-1) lasted just four innings, allowing five runs, eight hits and one walk while striking out two Wednesday against the Indians. He did not factor in the decision.Entering his third spot start of the season, Ranaudo's biggest challenge at the major league level had been giving up the big fly. Wednesday, he stayed true to his scouting report, serving up two more homers, giving him a 3.4 HR/9 in five MLB games this season (three starts). Even with Miguel Gonzalez (groin) on the DL, Ranaudo's chance of remaining in the rotation may have been hit out of the park in this one, as the team might be inclined to give someone else a shot at filling in during Gonzalez's absence considering Ranaudo's struggles.

Ranaudo has given up 15 homers in 65 career innings at the major league level.

White Sox's Anthony Ranaudo: Optioned back to Triple-A
Anthony Ranaudo was optioned back to Triple-A Charlotte on Thursday.Ranaudo made his first major league start of the season Wednesday against the Cubs, allowing three earned runs on two hits to go with four walks over 6.2 innings of work. It was a fairly encouraging debut for the right-hander, but he'll head back to Charlotte with the Chicago White Sox in need of a roster spot for Chris Sale, who returns from a five-game suspension to start Thursday's series finale.
