White Sox pitching prospect Grant Taylor makes jump from Double-A to majors
Associated Press
HOUSTON (AP) — The White Sox called up the No. 6-ranked prospect in their organization, right-hander Grant Taylor, on Tuesday.
Chicago selected Taylor's contract from Double-A Birmingham and designated right-hander Bryse Wilson for assignment.
The 23-year-old Taylor has not pitched above Double-A but has been dominant for Birmingham this season, allowing three earned runs in 26 2/3 innings for a 1.01 ERA.
Taylor, who is 6-foot-3 and 230 pounds, was moved to the Barons' bullpen on May 14 and has made nine straight scoreless appearances since, with one walk and 18 strikeouts over 9 1/3 innings.
He was selected in the second round of the 2023 amateur draft out of LSU, where he was a teammate of Pittsburgh Pirates ace Paul Skenes.
The 27-year-old Wilson is 0-2 with 6.95 ERA in 19 appearances, including five starts, for Chicago this season.
The White Sox are last in the AL Central and play a three-game series at Houston starting Tuesday night.

Blackhawks trade defenseman Victor Söderström's rights to Bruins for prospect, pick
The Chicago Blackhawks have traded the rights of defenseman Victor Söderström to the Boston Bruins for defense prospect Ryan Mast and a 2025 seventh-round pick, the team announced Friday. 🔔we've got a Friday afternoon trade 📰 ➡︎ — Chicago Blackhawks (@NHLBlackhawks) June 13, 2025 Söderström, 24, was selected No. 11 in 2019 by the Arizona Coyotes and played three-plus seasons in the Coyotes' organization, including 53 NHL games, before declining to re-sign as a restricted free agent and opting to return to his native Sweden to play in the SHL this past season. Söderström, a right-handed shot, produced nine goals and 28 assists in 49 games for Brynäs during the 2024-25 season and was named the league's top defenseman, winning the Börje Salming Trophy. Advertisement The Blackhawks acquired Söderström's rights from Utah along with Shea Weber's contract and Aatu Räty for a 2026 fifth-round pick on March 7. With the emergence of the Blackhawks' young defensemen, especially Sam Rinzel and Artyom Levshunov this past season, they weren't going to guarantee Söderström an NHL roster spot and block the path for their prospects next season. Söderström had bounced between the AHL and NHL with the Coyotes. The Bruins have a need at right defense after trading Brandon Carlo to the Toronto Maple Leafs. Charlie McAvoy and Andrew Peeke are their lone returners in 2025-26 on the right side. Mast, 22, was a Bruins' sixth-round pick in 2021. The right-shot, stay-at-home defenseman had zero goals and five assists in 37 games for the Providence Bruins in the AHL during the 2024-25 season. He has one year left on his entry-level contract. He is considered an NHL long shot.
