Right-hander Jonathan Cannon is expected to be recalled by the White Sox, per Scott Merkin of MLB.com. Grant Taylor will serve as an opener on Sunday. Cannon last pitched on Tuesday, so he’d be on regular rest for bulk relief work. Right-hander Duncan Davitt is expected to be sent down to make room for Cannon.
Chicago has an opening in the rotation after the struggling Shane Smith was demoted on Wednesday. The move initiated a series of pitching staff shuffles that will continue with the addition of Cannon. Left-hander Tyler Schweitzer was promoted when Smith was sent down. He made his big-league debut that evening, allowing a run over 1 1/3 innings. Schweitzer was optioned back to the minors the following day. Chris Murphy was also placed on the injured list. Davitt and Brandon Eisert were recalled on Thursday.
Cannon has been a consistent member of the White Sox rotation the past two seasons. He’s made 45 appearances since debuting in April 2024, with 38 of those outings coming as a starter. The results have been underwhelming. Cannon has a 5.09 ERA across 228 big-league innings, supported by a 4.85 xERA and a 4.64 SIERA.
The 25-year-old Cannon got off to a solid start in 2025. He pitched Chicago’s second game of the year, tossing five scoreless frames against the Angels. Cannon delivered a 3.76 ERA over his first 10 starts. He stumbled from there, ceding 10 earned runs over his next two appearances, including five home runs. Cannon hit the injured list with a back strain after that difficult two-start stretch. He was up and down with the big-league club for the rest of the campaign. With the White Sox adding lefty Anthony Kay in the offseason, Cannon was squeezed out of a rotation spot. He’s been tagged for eight earned runs over 8 2/3 innings through two Triple-A appearances.
Davitt debuted on Friday against the Royals. The 26-year-old walked Kyle Isbel to lead off the eighth inning, then coaxed a double play grounder from Maikel Garcia. He got Bobby Witt Jr. to fly out to end the frame. Chicago acquired Davitt from the Rays in the Adrian Houser trade last season, along with first baseman Curtis Mead and right-hander Ben Peoples. While his first taste of the majors came as a reliever, he’d been exclusively a starter the past two minor league seasons. Davitt has an ERA of nearly 8.00 through two outings at Triple-A this year.
