White Sox put reliever Trevor Richards on family emergency list, recall Tyler Davis

The White Sox made a roster move Thursday, but it’s not the one fans are awaiting.

The team put right-hander Trevor Richards on the Bereavement/Family Medical Emergency List and recalled right-hander Tyler Davis from Triple-A Charlotte. Slugger Munetaka Murakami is close to returning from a strained right hamstring, and his impending arrival will necessitate a roster move.

Richards, 33, has been pitching well of late, including two high-leverage situations last week in Cleveland in which he combined for 3⅓ scoreless innings with five strikeouts. In his last 18 outings, he has a 1.37 ERA (four earned runs in 26⅓ innings).

Since being acquired by the Sox on May 5 for cash considerations, Richards has a 3.48 ERA (12 earned runs in 31 innings) with 30 strikeouts in 22 relief appearances

Davis, 27, has made four relief appearances for Charlotte (three earned runs in 4⅔ innings) since being optioned June 21. He had a 4.63 ERA (12 earned runs in 23⅓ innings) with 20 strikeouts in 22 relief outings from April 23 to June 20 in his first major-league stint.

The White Sox might have said they’ve narrowed their choices for the first pick in the MLB Draft to three. But MLB Network is pretty confident there are really two.
Shirley said the Sox have narrowed their choices to shortstops Roch Cholowsky and Grady Emerson and catcher Vahn Lackey, though it’s widely believed the pick will come down to the two shortstops.
After being promoted to Double-A Birmingham last month, Bonemer will represent the Sox in the All-Star Futures Game on Sunday in Philadelphia.
Schultz allowed four runs, seven hits and three walks in five innings in the White Sox’ 8-1 loss to the Red Sox at Rate Field.
