White Sox's Jordan Leasure: Activated, optioned to Triple-A
The Chicago White Sox reinstated Jordan Leasure (shoulder) from the 15-day injured list Saturday and optioned him to Triple-A Charlotte.Leasure allowed three earned runs over 4.1 innings during his rehab assignment with Charlotte, and he will now remain in the minors despite being ostensibly recovered from his shoulder impingement. The 26-year-old carries a 6.32 ERA and 1.60 WHIP through 31.1 innings in the majors this season and most likely won't make another appearance for the White Sox over the final eight games of the year.

White Sox's Jordan Leasure: Starts up rehab assignment
Jordan Leasure (shoulder) made his second rehab appearance for Triple-A Charlotte on Tuesday, striking out one and issuing one walk and giving up no hits over a scoreless inning.Leasure began his rehab assignment last Friday and turned in a 1-2-3 inning for Charlotte that day before following up Tuesday with another strong appearance. On the shelf since July 20 with a right shoulder impingement, Leasure looks like he could be ready to return from the 15-day injured list this weekend and rejoin the bullpen. He'll be a candidate to fill a high-leverage role and could even factor into the closer picture, but save opportunities will likely be few and far between for the 33-113 Chicago White Sox down the stretch.

The Chicago White Sox recalled Jordan Leasure from Triple-A Charlotte on Monday.Leasure was optioned nearly a month ago following a rough stretch in which he allowed six runs over his final 3.2 innings out of the bullpen prior to his demotion. He held a 2.52 ERA before the string of blowups, albeit with a 22:14 K:BB across 25 frames.
