Davis Martin goes to IL with a blister on his right hand

Summary

Chicago White Sox starter Davis Martin has been placed on the 15-day injured list due to a blister on his right middle finger. This decision came following his recent ejection during a game against the Cincinnati Reds, where he struggled with command. Manager Will Venable indicated that this injury had a significant impact on Martin's performance, which has deteriorated recently, allowing 19 runs in his last four starts. To fill the roster, the Sox called up José Urquidy and Tyler Schweitzer from Triple-A Charlotte and designated Joe Rock for assignment. The White Sox claimed catcher Jake Rogers off waivers from the Boston Red Sox as part of their roster adjustments ahead of a crucial series against the Detroit Tigers.
