The White Sox are scrambling as they call up pitchers José Urquidy and Tyler Schweitzer after placing Davis Martin on the IL with a blister that allegedly ruined his grip—though umpires didn’t buy it. Martin’s ERA has ballooned from 2.00 in May to 7.06 since June, dragging his season mark to 4.32, at a critical juncture as Chicago leads their division by 2.5 games in a playoff push. With Martin sidelined for weeks, the rotation is thin—Sean Burke, Luis Castillo, Anthony Kay, and Sean Newcomb in a bullpen game—and Urquidy may be thrust into action. The team might need to dig deeper, with rehabbing Drew Thorpe (5 innings last outing) and others like Noah Schultz and Jonathan Cannon potentially in play, even if their ERAs aren’t stellar.
