Chicago White Sox place starter Davis Martin on the 15-day IL with a right forearm strain
TORONTO — The Chicago White Sox placed starter Davis Martin on the 15-day injured list with a right forearm strain, the team announced Friday. The IL stint is retroactive to Tuesday.
It was one of five moves by the Sox before their weekend series against the Toronto Blue Jays at Rogers Centre.
Reliever Cam Booser went on the 15-day injured list with a left shoulder strain. Booser appeared in Game 1 of Thursday's doubleheader against the St. Louis Cardinals at Rate Field, allowing three runs (two earned) in two-thirds of an inning in the 5-4 loss. The lefty is 1-4 with a 5.11 ERA, one save, seven holds and 27 strikeouts during 30 relief outings.
The Sox called up pitchers Wikelman González from Triple-A Charlotte and Jake Palisch from Double-A Birmingham.
González, 23, one of the four players the Sox acquired from the Boston Red Sox this offseason in the Garrett Crochet trade, is 5-0 with a 2.75 ERA and 18 strikeouts in 12 relief appearances since joining the Knights on April 29. He began the season at Birmingham.
Palisch, 26, is 4-1 with a 1.19 ERA, 0.92 WHIP and 35 strikeouts in 15 appearances (seven starts) with Birmingham. He leads the Southern League in ERA and WHIP.
Palisch was named Southern League and White Sox Minor League Pitcher of the Month for May after going 2-1 with a 0.75 ERA, 0.54 WHIP and 22 strikeouts during five outings (four starts).
The White Sox also designated pitcher Caleb Freeman for assignment. The right-hander had a 5.40 ERA and three strikeouts in five relief appearances during two stints with the team this season.
Martin is 2-7 with a 3.79 ERA and 53 strikeouts over 14 appearances (13 starts). He was slated to start Friday's series opener. Grant Taylor will start instead.

Newcastle United Identify This Manchester United Attacker As A Target: Decent Choice For Howe?
In a recent report, The Sun claimed that Newcastle United have identified Manchester United attacker Marcus Rashford as a target. It has been mentioned that the Red Devils are eyeing a move to acquire the services of the English wide player on a season-long deal. Rashford's Impressive Loan Spell At Villa Park Rashford enjoyed a decent loan spell at Aston Villa last season when he put in a handful of promising displays for them in the final third. The England international played in 17 matches for the Villans in the previous campaign, scoring four goals and picking up six assists across multiple competitions. Advertisement The 27-year-old deserves a ton of credit for averaging 3.65 shots per 90 minutes in the Premier League but only kept 27.8% of his attempts on target. However, he has to find a way to improve his ball distribution in the final third, as evidenced by his pass completion rate of 71.3% in the English top flight (stats via His current contract at his parent club Manchester United will run out in the summer of 2028 which could make it difficult for the Magpies to sign him on a cut-price deal. BIRMINGHAM, ENGLAND – APRIL 20: Marcus Rashford is seen in attendance during the Resurgence: Ben Whittaker vs Liam Cameron 2 card at BP Pulse Live on April 20, 2025 in Birmingham, England. (Photo by Ben) Is Rashford A Decent Choice For Newcastle United Boss Eddie Howe? Rashford is a good dribbler with the ball at his feet and can make some driving runs with it in and around the opponent's penalty area. He can shoot the ball with venom from long range and has got the eye to create the odd chance for his teammates to find the back of the net. Advertisement The England international can chip in by scoring his fair share of goals up top when he is playing well on the field. He mainly operates as a left-sided wide player but can also fill in as a right-winger or play as a centre-forward if asked to do so. We can expect Rashford to add more pace and goals to Newcastle head coach Eddie Howe's frontline. He has what it takes to compete for a regular first-team spot at the Tyneside club in the coming seasons. At 27, Rashford has his best years ahead of him which makes him a decent choice for the Magpies to consider in this summer transfer window.

Texas A&M to big leagues: Former Aggie pitcher makes MLB debut for Chicago White Sox
The Texas A&M baseball program had its 65th player in program history make their Major League Baseball debut, as a former Aggie pitcher stepped on the mound for the Chicago White Sox on Saturday afternoon. Left-hander Jake Palisch became the first player to represent the program in their big league debut this year, as he pitched the eighth inning in relief for the White Sox in Game 2 of the road series against the Toronto Blue Jays. Palisch's call-up on Friday was part of multiple moves by the franchise to freshen up a depleted pitching rotation. His contributions during the Aggies' College World Series run can't be overstated, as he notched five saves and 73 strikeouts in 60 1/3 innings. Palisch also earned the Collegiate Baseball National Player of the Week honor during a weekend series against Arkansas, where the Richardson, Texas, native struck out 13 batters in 9.1 innings pitched. After his lone season pitching for Texas A&M, he signed with the White Sox as an undrafted free agent. In 15 appearances with the MiLB's Birmingham Barons, the lefty struck out 35 batters and recorded a 1.19 ERA in 53 innings of work. All the hard work and dedication to hone his craft paid off in the form of his MLB debut on Saturday in front of 41,488 people in Toronto. Although the lefty gave up two runs on three hits in his first appearance for the White Sox, he was taking it all in and enjoying the moment that he had worked for his entire life. According to Chicago Sun-Times reporter Mitchell Armentrout, Palisch expressed his feelings about his debut to the media following the 7-1 loss to the Blue Jays. "It's certainly intense," Palisch said. "I'd like to say I was feeling it, but I think I may have blacked out a little bit at first. You kind of lose track of everything that's going on, other than just that pitch and working through it." Once Palisch can settle into his role with the franchise and develop over time, he will be rocking and rolling on the mound in the pinstripes in no time. For a franchise that so desperately needs pitchers at the moment, he will likely be inserted to relieve more frequently for the White Sox moving forward.

Briton Yafai stunned by Rodriguez in first pro loss
Olympic gold medallist Galal Yafai loses for the first time as a professional [Getty Images] Galal Yafai's world title ambitions suffered a major setback as the British flyweight was dropped in the final round in a shock points loss to Francisco Rodriguez Jr in Birmingham. Fighting in his home city, the 32-year-old Olympic gold medallist was rocked early and struggled to handle the relentless pressure and punch volume from the Mexican in a high-tempo contest. Advertisement Yafai had moments of success and showed resilience, but was repeatedly hurt, notably in the seventh and ninth, before hitting the canvas in the twelfth. Although he beat the count, he was clinging on until the end and there was no dispute over the result with scores of 119-108, 119-108 and 118-109. Yafai is defeated for the first time in 10 professional bouts and loses his WBC interim title. Once tipped for a rapid ascent to full world honours, the Tokyo 2020 champion now faces a significant rebuilding job. "[Rodriguez] was relentless tonight. Yafai couldn't have got into a worse start but I'm so proud of him," Yafai's promoter, Eddie Hearn, said. Fast start from Rodriguez sets the tone Rodriguez Jr is a former unified strawweight world champion and wins his 40th bout in 47 fights [Getty Images] Rodriguez burst out of the blocks, rattling the champion early and buckling Yafai's legs with a sharp left uppercut. Yafai struggled to fully recover as Rodriguez's quick hands continued to find the mark through the early stages. Advertisement Yafai rallied in the fourth, landing clean with his backhand, but was hampered by blood pouring from a cut above his left eye. Rodriguez also suffered a cut later in the fight. The Birmingham fighter – who cruised past Sunny Edwards in November – looked second-best throughout, his body language offering little encouragement to the home crowd. He frequently dabbed at the eye and found it difficult to match Rodriguez's pace. Rodriguez had his fired-up corner roaring in the seventh when Yafai was floored, although it was ruled a slip. The damage, however, had already been done earlier in the round, with the 31-year-old away fighter landing a flurry of punches. A crisp straight right and uppercut connected in the eighth, with Yafai showing heart and toughness to stay in the fight. Both men were inspected by doctors before the ninth due to cuts, but it was Rodriguez who continued to dominate, hurting Yafai again as blood stained the referee's shirt. Advertisement By the championship rounds, Yafai looked increasingly resigned to his fate. A clean left-right combination dropped him in the 12th. He rose with a wry, deflated smile before moments later leaving the ring without giving a post-fight interview. A world title shot against Japan's unified champion Kenshiro Teraji had seemed within touching distance but instead Yafai's dream of becoming an Olympic and world champion is paused for now. "He failed on the hurdle to elite level and that's sometimes what happens. He'd only had nine fights," Hearn added. 'The new Katie Taylor' stars on debut Tiah Mai Ayton competed in kickboxing and Muay Thai before transitioning to boxing [Getty Images] Earlier, Britain's Tiah Mai Ayton announced herself to the professional ranks in style by stopping Hungary's Sara Orszagi in a ferocious debut. Advertisement Dubbed "the next Katie Taylor" by Hearn, the 18-year-old super-bantamweight rocked Orszagi with crisp right hands from the opening bell. She dropped her in the third, then ended it seconds later with a clean shot. As the referee waved the fight off, a smiling Ayton strutted back to her corner, poking her tongue out to her team. "Eddie's been bigging me up, so I had to show what I'm about," said Bristol's Ayton, a flawless 21-0 as an amateur. A beaming Hearn added: "She's born for this. She's built for this. She's a special talent." On a strong night for Matchroom's prospects, Manchester's 2024 Olympian Pat Brown secured his second professional win with a brutal second-round stoppage of Croatia's Ivan Duka. Advertisement A sharp right hook to the body, followed by a thudding left hook and a crisp left uppercut brought an early end to Duka's night. Brown, 25, will be back in the ring in just two weeks' time on 5 July in Manchester. Also on the card, super-bantamweight Peter McGrail earned a hard-fought majority decision over Romania's Ionut Baluta, and British welterweight champion Conah Walker retained his belt with a seventh-round stoppage win over Liam Taylor.
