Hagen Smith and Tanner McDougal join White Sox roster amid bullpen issues
Summary

Hagen Smith and Tanner McDougal have been called up to the Chicago White Sox for added bullpen support. Noah Schultz and David Sandlin were sent down to Charlotte as part of this move. Smith, who has a 1.43 ERA in six games since returning from injury, and McDougal, with a 4.39 ERA after overcoming forearm soreness, are expected to provide relief. The team's bullpen has faced fatigue recently, leading to these roster changes. General Manager Chris Getz indicated last week that both pitchers would likely contribute at some point before the season ends.
