The White Sox are making a bold move by calling up promising young pitchers Hagan Smith and Tanner McDougal for their MLB debuts, clearing roster space by sending David Sandlin and Noah Schultz to AAA. To make room on the 40-man roster for Smith, they designated Wickelman Gonzalez — a former trade piece from the Garrett Crochet deal — for assignment. Gonzalez, just 24, showed flashes of potential last year but has struggled this season after an injury. The Sox hope he clears waivers and can be reacquired later, though some argue Tyler Gilbert might have been a better choice. This decision leaves Gonzalez’s future uncertain, even as the team bets on his upside.
