White Sox Designate Touki Toussaint For Assignmen

The White Sox announced they have designated right-hander for a signment. The move will give Chicago another 40-man Nabil Crismatt Jersey vacancy, as theyre filling his spot by recalling righty , whos already on the 40-man. reported the moves prior to the official announcement. Tou saint, 28, has pitched in 11 games and tallied 23 innings for the ChiSox this season, but the results havent been pretty. The former first-rounder and top prospect has been tagged for a 7.43 ERA, thanks in no small part to a bloated 15.4% walk rate. Tou saint has unequivocally had some poor fortune on balls in play, evidence by a mammoth .464 BABIP, and the White Sox porous defense surely hasnt done him any favors in that regard. All the same, Tou saints hefty walk rate and average strikeout rate (22.2%) arent conducive to succe s even with a more typical average on balls in play. Hes had a particularly rough go of it lately, with 11 runs yielded over his past 9 1/3 innings. Now that hes been designated for a signment, Tou saint will head to waivers. Hell likely clear, at which point hell have the right to elect free agency (both by virtue of his major league service time and prior outright a signments). Foster, 29, has pitched well in Triple-A and in the majors this season in whats been his first year back from Tommy John surgery performed in April 2023. The right-handers velocity (91.6 mph average fastball) is down two miles per hour from his pre-surgery days, though that could build back up as he gets more work in. To this point, hes only pitched 18 minor league frames and another three in the majors. In 115 2/3 innings, Foster owns a 4.28 ERA with a 23.6% strikeout rate and 8.2% walk rate. The Sox can control him via arbitration through the 2026 season. David Freese Jersey
