White Sox Pitching Puzzle Deepens | Chicago Cubs News

from Chicago Cubs News Today | 2 Min News | The Daily News Now!

White Sox stumble again, blowing a save and losing in the 10th to the Cubs, now facing tough pitching matchups with Gausman and Holmes looming. Despite whispers of calling up minor leaguers Shane Smith and Drew Thorpe — both showing promise — they’re staying put. The Sox are doubling down on bullpen openers and relievers like Hudson, Fedde, and Urquidy, a risky move with a thin pen and shaky rotation. And with Wrigley’s wind blowing out Tuesday, it’s shaping up to be a brutal stretch — no roster moves yet, so Smith and Thorpe remain in Charlotte.
