The White Sox revealed they have actually designated right-hander Touki Toussaint for task. The relocation will provide Chicago another 40-man job, as they’re filling his area by remembering righty Matt Foster, who’s currently on the 40-man. Daryl Van Schouwen of the Chicago Sun-Times reported the relocations prior to the main statement.

Toussaint, 28, has actually pitched in 11 video games and tallied 23 innings for the ChiSox this season, however the outcomes haven’t been quite. The previous first-rounder and leading possibility has actually been tagged for a 7.43 AGE, thanks in no little part to a puffed up 15.4% walk rate. Toussaint has unquestionably had some bad fortune on balls in play, proof by a massive .464 BABIP, and the White Sox’ permeable defense undoubtedly hasn’t done him any favors because regard.

All the very same, Toussaint’s substantial walk rate and typical strikeout rate (22.2%) aren’t favorable to success even with a more normal average on balls in play. He’s had an especially rough go of it recently, with 11 runs yielded over his previous 9 1/3 innings. Now that he’s been designated for task, Toussaint will head to waivers. He’ll likely clear, at which point he’ll can choose totally free firm (both by virtue of his big league service time and previous straight-out projects).

Foster, 29, has actually pitched well in Triple-A and in the majors this season in what’s been his very first year back from Tommy John surgical treatment carried out in April 2023. The right-hander’s speed (91.6 miles per hour typical fastball) is down 2 miles per hour from his pre-surgery days, though that might construct back up as he gets more operate in. To this point, he’s just pitched 18 minors frames and another 3 in the majors. In 115 2/3 innings, Foster owns a 4.28 age with a 23.6% strikeout rate and 8.2% walk rate. The Sox can manage him through arbitration through the 2026 season.
