Chicago, IL – The Chicago White Sox announced Thursday that veteran right‑hander Luis Castillo will spend the next 15 days on the injured list after doctors diagnosed a right shoulder impingement. The move opens a roster spot, and the club responded by recalling right‑hander Tyler Davis from its Triple‑A affiliate in Charlotte.
Castillo’s recent performance
Castillo, 33, entered the game on Tuesday against the Kansas City Royals and surrendered four runs on three hits and a walk in the ninth inning of a high‑scoring 14‑11 win. Over the course of the 2026 season, he has compiled a combined 4‑11 record with a 5.85 ERA in 29 appearances (23 starts) for the Seattle Mariners and the White Sox.
Since arriving in Chicago at the trade deadline, Castillo has posted a 1‑2 record with an 8.42 ERA in nine outings, the last three of which came after the team shifted him to a bullpen role.
Davis steps back onto the mound
In Castillo’s stead, the White Sox called up 27‑year‑old right‑hander Tyler Davis. Davis previously logged a 2‑3 record with one save and a 3.52 ERA in 29 relief appearances for Chicago earlier this season, after making his major‑league debut on April 25.
“Tyler has shown resilience and consistency in the minors, and we’re confident he can contribute at the big‑league level when called upon,” the White Sox front office said in a statement. “We wish Luis a speedy recovery and look forward to his return once he’s cleared medically.”
What’s next for the White Sox
The roster adjustment comes as Chicago continues its push for a playoff berth in the fiercely competitive American League Central. Manager Pedro Grifol will have to manage the rotation carefully, balancing the need for veteran experience with the emergence of younger arms like Davis.
Fans can expect to see Davis take the mound in the upcoming series against the Detroit Tigers, where the White Sox will look to solidify their standing in the division. Meanwhile, the medical staff will monitor Castillo’s shoulder progress, aiming for a return before the roster expands in September.
Injury updates and roster moves
The White Sox’s injury list this season has grown, reflecting the physical toll of a long campaign. Alongside Castillo’s shoulder issue, the club has dealt with other setbacks, including a strained hamstring for outfielder Andrew Benintendi and a minor ankle sprain for catcher Yan Gomes.
Chicago’s front office remains proactive, utilizing its depth of talent in the farm system to address gaps as they arise. The recall of Davis underscores the organization’s confidence in its Triple‑A roster and its commitment to maintaining a competitive lineup despite injuries.
