White Sox Right-Hander Jonathan Cannon Has Been Scratched because of Lower Back Tightness
- Jonathan Cannon, a 24-year-old right-handed pitcher for the Chicago White Sox, was removed from his scheduled Saturday game against Texas because of tightness in his lower back.
- Cannon began feeling back discomfort after a catch session on Friday, and the team listed him as day-to-day while providing ongoing treatment.
- Bryse Wilson, a 27-year-old right-handed pitcher with a 0-2 record and a 6.00 ERA this season, will take over for Cannon, despite not having pitched since May 15, when he gave up seven runs over just more than five innings in a game that ended in a 7-1 defeat to Cincinnati.
- Cannon, 24, holds a 2-5 record this season with a 3.76 ERA across ten total outings, including eight starts and two appearances out of the bullpen. His recent performance included giving up four runs in five innings during a 6-2 defeat to the Cubs on Sunday, which ended his streak of four consecutive quality starts.
- This pitching change leaves Cannon’s status uncertain and places responsibility on Wilson, whose recent performance may affect the White Sox’s rotation consistency.
