Cannon gets demotion after save

Jonathan Cannon

CWS Starting Pitcher #48

Player Stats

White Sox optioned RHP Jonathan Cannon to Triple-A Charlotte.

That’s what you get for throwing a 66-pitch, three-inning save yesterday. Cannon will be back when his arm is fresher.

Jonathan Cannon

CWS Starting Pitcher #48

Jonathan Cannon got a save for allowing two runs over three innings Wednesday against the Rangers.

Cannon entered with a 10-2 lead in his second MLB appearance of the season tonight. He’ll likely continue to pitch multiple innings at a time as a reliever if he sticks around; he did throw 66 pitches tonight, so there’s a chance the White Sox could swap him out for a fresh arm.

CWS Starting Pitcher #48

White Sox recalled RHP Jonathan Cannon from Triple-A Charlotte.

Cannon figures to operate in a swingman-type role out of Chicago’s bullpen. He hasn’t pitched in the big leagues since suffering a hip injury during his season debut back in mid-April. The 26-year-old has been operating as a starter at Triple-A Charlotte for the last few months. He can be ignored in all fantasy formats.
Jonathan Cannon

CWS Starting Pitcher #48

White Sox activated RHP Jonathan Cannon from the 15-day injured list; optioned him to Triple-A Charlotte.

Cannon will remain stationed on the doorstep of the majors as organizational depth after completing a rehab assignment. The 25-year-old has been on the shelf since mid-April with hip inflammation.
Jonathan Cannon

CWS Starting Pitcher #48

White Sox placed RHP Jonathan Cannon on the 15-day injured list, retroactive to April 13, with right hip inflammation.

Cannon exited Sunday’s appearance with hip irritation, and threw just 2-of-14 pitches for strikes before leaving with the injury. The right-hander will likely need more than two weeks off before being able to return to the White Sox staff.
Jonathan Cannon

CWS Starting Pitcher #48

Jonathan Cannon left Sunday’s appearance against the Royals with right hip irritation.

Cannon threw just 2-of-14 pitches for strikes and walked three batters before being pulled with the injury. The 25-year-old was just called up to work in a bulk role, but now a trip to the injured list seems far more likely than not.
Jonathan Cannon

CWS Starting Pitcher #48

White Sox recalled RHP Jonathan Cannon from Triple-A Charlotte.

Cannon is expected to work in a bulk role for the White Sox on Sunday against the Royals after Grant Taylor serves as the club’s opener. Cannon was knocked around in his first two starts at the Triple-A level, posting an 8.31 ERA and a 1.85 WHIP over 8 2/3 innings. He’s not a recommended streaming option for Sunday’s matchup against the Royals.
Duncan Davitt

CWS Starting Pitcher #67

White Sox optioned RHP Duncan Davitt to Triple-A Charlotte.

Davitt gets the boot with the White Sox set to recall Jonathan Cannon to work behind opener Grant Taylor on Sunday. Davitt will likely be an up-and-down arm throughout 2026.
Jonathan Cannon

CWS Starting Pitcher #48

White Sox optioned RHP Jonathan Cannon to Triple-A Charlotte.

Cannon made 17 starts and pitched 103 2/3 innings for the White Sox last season and came into spring training battling for a spot in the rotation. He didn’t pitch poorly, posting a 4.09 ERA and 10/5 K/BB ratio in 11 innings, but it wasn’t good enough to beat out Anthony Kay and Erick Fedde, who both joined the team this winter.
Jonathan Cannon

CWS Starting Pitcher #48

Jonathan Cannon was hit hard during Thursday’s Cactus League outing against the Giants, giving up two runs on five hits over his 3 1/3 innings.

Cannon also issued four free passes on the night while striking out three. The Giants had ample traffic on the bases against him, but only managed to scratch out single runs in the fourth and fifth innings on RBI singles by Will Brennan and Matt Chapman. Cannon got six swings and misses on 72 pitches in the contest, posting a CSW of 25 percent. He’ll continue to fight for a spot in the team’s Opening Day rotation, though may ultimately be better suited as a long man in the bullpen.
Jonathan Cannon

CWS Starting Pitcher #48

Jonathan Cannon allowed six hits and five runs with one walk and six strikeouts across 4 1/3 innings in a loss against the Yankees on Wednesday.

Cannon followed opener Fraser Ellard and got torched by the Yankees’ dangerous lineup. He allowed seven hard-hit balls on just 13 total balls in play and four extra-base hits. One big positive though, his fastball was up two ticks and topped out over 97 mph. He also forced 12 total swings-and-misses, five of which with his fastball. That’s something for Cannon to hang his hat on after throwing more than 100 innings in each of the last two seasons.

Kyle Tucker and Max Muncy are not in Los Angeles’ starting lineup on Thursday against the Braves.

They’ll take a seat against LHP Chris Sale. Alex Call will draw the start and bat seventh for Tucker; this appears to just be a routine day off. Enrique Hernández is playing third for Muncy and Muncy appears to be in some danger of losing at-bats against lefties now that Hernández is back.

The Cincinnati Enquirer’s Gordon Wittenmyer reports Eugenio Suárez and TJ Friedl cleared waivers and will remain with the Reds.

Suárez being claimed by the Diamondbacks or Mariners would have made for a fun story, but instead he’ll finish out the regular season with the Reds. Neither club was willing to pick up approximately $3 million in salary for the 35-year-old slugger.

Abimelec Ortiz is not in Washington’s starting lineup for Thursday’s game against the Rockies.

Terribly unfortunate to miss a start against RHP Gabriel Hughes, who is 0-5 with a 6.54 ERA. Andrés Chaparro will draw the assignment instead. It’s the first day off for Ortiz in the last six.

James Wood

WSH Right Fielder #29

James Wood (oblique) was doing baserunning work on the field on Thursday.

Wood landed on the injured list on August 4th with what the team had called a mild oblique strain. However, his recovery progress has been slow, and it’s unclear if he has even begun swinging a bat. Seeing him run on the field is certainly nice, but until we see him hitting and beginning to hit high velocity, we shouldn’t expect an imminent return.
