The Chicago White Sox faced a setback as starting pitcher Jonathan Cannon was scratched from Saturday's game due to lower back tightness, with his status being day-to-day. Despite the change—Bryse Wilson starting instead—the Sox took advantage of the Texas Rangers' defensive errors, scoring six runs in the sixth inning and winning 10-5. Meanwhile, outfielder Oscar Colas was released after a disappointing performance, hitting only .163 and .216 in his last two seasons, highlighting ongoing struggles for the team and roster adjustments.
‘I kind of feel like an old man right now,’ Cannon joked. ‘Obviously, this is a long season and just one of those things [where] you don’t really see it coming.’
The Sox won, pouncing on repeated defensive mistakes by the Rangers to score six runs in the sixth inning and claim a 10-5 victory.
Colas, 26, was a high-profile international signing by the Sox in 2022 and figured at the time to be a big part of their future.
His struggles at the plate and on the field led to his release, hitting only .216 in 75 games during the 2023 season.
