The White Sox are expected to select Smith's contract from Triple-A Charlotte on Saturday, James Fegan of SoxMachine.com reports.
Smith turned in a 4.58 ERA and 1.37 WHIP in 57 innings across 15 starts before moving to the bullpen in July, and he has since given up just one run while fanning 10 batters over 6.1 frames. The 22-year-old will now get an opportunity to contribute for the big club during the final months of the season but is likely to remain in the bullpen to begin his MLB career.

White Sox's Tanner McDougal: Joining big club
Rotowire
The White Sox are expected to recall McDougal from Triple-A Charlotte on Saturday, James Fegan of SoxMachine.com reports.
McDougal rose through Chicago's farm system as a starter, but he's worked as a reliever since returning from a forearm injury in July and will presumably remain in that role with the Sox. He owns a 2.86 ERA, 1.11 WHIP and 40:20 K:BB across 34.2 innings at Triple-A but has given up six runs in just 8.2 frames following his stint on the IL, so he likely won't receive many high-leverage opportunities in the majors.

White Sox's Braden Montgomery: Clubs solo shot
Rotowire
Montgomery went 2-for-3 with a solo home run, a walk, a run scored and a strikeout in an 8-2 loss to the Guardians on Friday.
In his first at-bat, Montgomery belted a solo home run against Parker Messick to cut the Guardians' lead to one. It was the 23-year-old's first home run since July 12, breaking a drought of 19 straight games without a long ball. On the campaign, Montgomery is now batting .236/.316/.385 with four home runs and 23 RBI through 196 plate appearances.

White Sox's Munetaka Murakami: Blasts solo homer
Rotowire
Murakami went 1-for-4 with a solo home run, a run scored and two strikeouts during an 8-2 loss to Cleveland on Friday.
Murakami stepped to the plate in the bottom of the sixth and swatted his 25th long ball of the season. His solo shot tied Colson Montgomery for the most on the club this season. The home run extended his on-base streak to 23 games, dating back to July 10. The 26-year-old has slashed .236/.369/.531 with 25 home runs and 52 RBI in 350 plate appearances this season.

White Sox's Noah Schultz: Removed after manager's mistake
Rotowire
Schultz (3-9) earned the loss after allowing two runs on three hits while striking out one in one-third of an inning Friday against Cleveland.
Schultz was pulled after just one-third of an inning from Friday's series opener after White Sox manager Will Venable made the team's second mound visit of the inning, which, according to the official MLB rules, forces a pitcher to be removed from the game. The 23-year-old allowed a two-run single to Angel Martinez to open the scoring before exiting early. On the campaign, the left-hander now owns a 6.06 ERA, 1.42 WHIP and 59:31 K:BB through 65.1 innings. Schultz is scheduled to make his next start Thursday against the Reds.
Wiemer signed a minor-league contract with the White Sox on Friday, Scott Merkin of MLB.com reports.
Wiemer was cut loose by Washington on Wednesday after slashing just .189/.271/.250 across 166 plate appearances in the minors. He'll now receive a new opportunity with the White Sox but is likely to play out the rest of the season at Triple-A Charlotte.

White Sox's Joey Bart: Out for over a month
Rotowire
White Sox general manager Chris Getz said Friday that Bart is expected to be sidelined for "over a month" due to a left hand fracture, James Fegan of SoxMachine.com reports.
Bart's hand was hit by a pitch during Thursday's game against Boston. The veteran catcher is set to be sidelined until at least mid-September, and how he progresses in his recovery program will determine whether he'll be back in action with the White Sox before the conclusion of the 2026 season. With Kyle Teel also sidelined until at least September due to a left high-ankle sprain, Drew Romo and Edgar Quero will handle catching duties for the White Sox moving forward.

White Sox's Chris Murphy: Placed on injured list
Rotowire
The White Sox placed Murphy on the 15-day injured list Friday with a left flexor strain.
The left-hander worked 1.1 innings of relief in Thursday's extra-innings loss to the Red Sox and allowed one unearned run without allowing a hit. He owns a 4.20 ERA and 29:15 K:BB across 30 innings this season. Chicago recalled David Sandlin from Triple-A Charlotte to take Murphy's place on the 26-man roster.

White Sox's Joey Bart: Sent to injured list
Rotowire
The White Sox placed Bart on the 10-day injured list Friday due to a fractured fifth metacarpal in his left hand.
Bart suffered the injury when he was hit by a pitch in Thursday's loss to the Red Sox. With Bart expected to miss multiple weeks, Edgar Quero is back from Triple-A to form a catching tandem with Drew Romo for the White Sox.

White Sox's David Sandlin: Back with big club
Rotowire
The White Sox recalled Sandlin from Triple-A Charlotte on Friday.
Sandlin will replace Chris Murphy (forearm) on the 26-man roster, as Murphy was placed on the 15-day injured list in a corresponding move. Sandlin has worked almost exclusively as a starter this season but figures to slide into a long-relief role with Chicago.

White Sox's Edgar Quero: Promotion made official
Rotowire
The White Sox recalled Quero from Triple-A Charlotte on Friday.
Quero will form a catching tandem with Drew Romo after Joey Bart sustained a broken bone in his left hand Thursday against the Red Sox. Quero has a .492 OPS across 193 trips to the plate with Chicago this season.

White Sox's Luis Castillo: Stumbles in White Sox debut
Rotowire
Castillo allowed five runs on six hits and a walk over four innings in a no-decision Thursday against the Red Sox. He struck out five.
After holding Boston hitless through his first two innings, Castillo gave up a two-run homer to Connor Wong in the third before surrendering three runs in the fourth to tie the game at 5-5. It's certainly wasn't the ideal White Sox debut for Castillo, who struggled to a 6.35 ERA across 17 innings in his final three starts with the Mariners before being shipped east at the trade deadline. Through 103.2 innings this year, his ERA sits at 5.30 -- he hasn't finished a season with an ERA above 4.00 since 2018, his first full year in the majors. Castillo will look to turn things around his next time out, tentatively lined up to come at home against the Reds, the team he began his career with in 2017.

White Sox's Chase Meidroth: Homers twice in extra-innings loss
Rotowire
Meidroth went 3-for-5 with a pair of home runs and four total RBI in Thursday's 12-11 extra-innings loss to the Red Sox.
Meidroth opened the scoring in the third inning with a two-run shot off Ranger Suarez before putting Chicago ahead 9-7 in the 10th inning with another two-run blast, this time off Aroldis Chapman. Meidroth had gone seven games without a homer prior to Thursday, going just 4-for-21 (.190) in that span. Overall, the second baseman is slashing .275/.352/.405 this season with 11 homers, 67 runs scored, 44 RBI and two steals across 465 plate appearances.
Montgomery went 2-for-5 with a walk, two RBI and a run scored Thursday against the Red Sox.
Montgomery has had a tough time at the plate since the All-Star break, as he entered Thursday's game having gone just 11-for-61 with a 36.2 percent strikeout rate. He started to turn things around Thursday, recording his first multi-hit effort in his last eight starts. Montgomery singled in a run during the third inning and then drove in an additional run with a sacrifice fly in the 11th frame.
White Sox's Edgar Quero: Headed back in big leagues
Rotowire
The White Sox are expected to recall Quero from Triple-A Charlotte prior to Friday's game against the Guardians, Francys Romero of BeisbolFR.com reports.
With Joey Bart suffering a broken hand in Thursday's loss to the Red Sox, Quero will rejoin the big-league club to form a catching tandem with Drew Romo at catcher. Neither Quero nor Romo has produced well at the big-league level this season, so the two could be used in a timeshare behind the plate until one separates himself from the other or until Bart or Kyle Teel (ankle) returns from the injured list. Over 193 plate appearances with the White Sox this season, Quero has posted an ugly .492 OPS with two home runs and one stolen base.

White Sox's Joey Bart: Suffers fractured hand
Rotowire
Bart suffered a fractured fifth metacarpal in his left hand after being hit by a pitch Thursday versus the Red Sox.
Bart took a 97.7-mph fastball from Erik Miller off his left hand with two outs in the top of the seventh inning, and he was immediately removed from the game. The catcher will likely undergo additional imaging, and an update on his status will likely come thereafter.
