• The White Sox recalled McDougal from Triple-A Charlotte on Tuesday.

  The right-hander will rejoin the big-league roster Tuesday as rosters expand by two players for the final month of the regular season. McDougal surrendered a run on three walks over one-third of an inning during his MLB debut in mid-August. He has a 4.12 ERA, 1.38 WHIP and 43:26 K:BB over 39.1 innings for Charlotte this year.

• The White Sox optioned McDougal to Triple-A Charlotte on Friday.

  The 23-year-old made his big-league debut Thursday against the Reds but faced five batters, walking three and hitting another with a pitch. He recorded one out and was charged with one run, while throwing just eight of his 25 pitches for strikes.

• The White Sox recalled McDougal from Triple-A Charlotte on Saturday.

  McDougal will join the big-league roster to help replace David Sandlin and Noah Schultz, both of whom were optioned to Triple-A on Saturday. McDougal has served exclusively as a reliever since returning from a forearm injury in July, logging a 4.26 ERA and 1.34 WHIP over his last 12.2 innings.

• The White Sox are expected to recall McDougal from Triple-A Charlotte on Saturday, James Fegan of SoxMachine.com reports.

  McDougal rose through Chicago's farm system as a starter, but he's worked as a reliever since returning from a forearm injury in July and will presumably remain in that role with the Sox. He owns a 2.86 ERA, 1.11 WHIP and 40:20 K:BB across 34.2 innings at Triple-A but has given up six runs in just 8.2 frames following his stint on the IL, so he likely won't receive many high-leverage opportunities in the majors.

• McDougal (forearm) has struck out five and allowed one hit and four walks over five scoreless relief innings since being reinstated from Triple-A Charlotte's 7-day injured list July 7.

  Before hitting the shelf April 30 due to a right forearm flexor strain, all six of McDougal's appearances for Charlotte had come in the rotation. The White Sox could revisit developing the 23-year-old as a starter down the road, but in the short term he's being positioned to potentially join the big-league bullpen for the stretch run. The lanky right-hander has looked overpowering since moving to relief despite his control issues, and he'll likely need to show some improvement on that front before gaining any major momentum for a promotion.
