White Sox's Adrian Houser: Lacks control in second loss
Rotowire
Houser (2-2) took the loss Friday against the Rangers, giving up three runs on six hits and four walks in five innings. He struck out two.
Houser entered Friday on a four-game streak of quality starts, but he came one inning short of extending that stretch. The 32-year-old right-hander issued a season-high four walks, but his results since joining Chicago's rotation have certainly been productive. Houser sports a 2.15 ERA, 1.19 WHIP and 22:10 K:BB through his first 29.1 innings, which gives him some streaming appeal in his next scheduled outing versus a Cardinals club with a .646 OPS against righties over their last 21 outings.
White Sox manager Will Venable said Friday that Civale will start Sunday's game against the Rangers, Kyle Williams of the Chicago Sun-Times reports.
Civale's trade request from the Brewers revolved around their decision to move him to the bullpen, and his wish was granted Friday morning with a trade to Chicago. He'll immediately slot into the starting rotation and will make his White Sox debut Sunday. Civale logged a 4.91 ERA over 22.0 innings with the Brewers and pitched into the sixth inning just once in five starts this season.

Rotowire
The White Sox" data-type="SPORTS_OBJECT_TEAM" data-league-abbreviation="MLB" data-team-abbreviation="CHW">White Sox optioned White to Triple-A Charlotte on Friday.
White made only one appearance for the White Sox after being recalled last week, during which he gave up three runs and struck out five batters across 4.1 innings.

White Sox's Joshua Palacios: Designated for assignment
Rotowire
The White Sox designated Palacios for assignment Friday.
Palacios has been stuck in a prolonged slump recently, going just 4-for-33 across his last 14 games. His poor performance will now result in him being kicked off the White Sox's 26-man and 40-man rosters, and the team will recall Brooks Baldwin from Triple-A Charlotte to fill the void on the big-league squad. The 29-year-old Palacios owns a .597 OPS through 145 plate appearances this season, making it unlikely another team claims him off waivers.

White Sox's Brooks Baldwin: Up from Triple-A
Rotowire
The White Sox recalled Baldwin from Triple-A Charlotte on Friday.
Baldwin has caught fire since being sent down to Triple-A in mid-May, slashing .380/.437/.734 with seven homers, 17 RBI, 19 runs scored and three stolen bases across 19 games. His hot streak will now buy him another shot with the White Sox as a replacement for Joshua Palacios, who was designated for assignment in a corresponding move. Baldwin has experience playing every position in the field other than first base, which significantly boosts his chances of picking up big-league starts.

White Sox's Jonathan Cannon: Rehab stint pending
Rotowire
Cannon (back) is expected to go on a rehab assignment soon, Kyle Williams of the Chicago Sun-Times reports.
Cannon has been on the shelf since June 13 due to a back strain but is ready to begin ramping things up. It's unclear how many rehab outings he will need before being activated from the 15-day IL, but a late June return seems plausible.

White Sox's Aaron Civale: Traded to White Sox
Rotowire
The White Sox have agreed to acquire Civale in a trade with the Brewers, Jon Heyman of the New York Post reports.
Per Jesse Rogers of ESPN.com, the Brewers will receive Andrew Vaughn in return. Civale requested a trade after being told earlier this week that he would be demoted to the bullpen, and Milwaukee has accommodated the request. The veteran right-hander last pitched Monday, so he could join Chicago's rotation as soon as Saturday against the Rangers.
White Sox's Davis Martin: Continues to provide length in loss
Rotowire
Martin (2-7) took the loss Thursday against the Astros after giving up four runs on six hits and two walks in six innings. He struck out five.
Martin continues to supply length for the White Sox, tossing at least six frames for his sixth start in a row. However, the long ball remains an issue for the 28-year-old right-hander, who has now served up at least one homer in four straight outings. Martin owns a 3.79 ERA and 1.21 WHIP but has just 53 punchouts through 80.2 innings, so his lack of strikeout potential will likely render him more of a deep-league streaming option versus the Cardinals his next time out.
Sosa (hip) will begin a rehab assignment with Triple-A Charlotte on Friday, Scott Merkin of MLB.com reports.
Sosa had expected to be activated from the 10-day injured list when first eligible Friday, but he'll instead start up a rehab stint. He landed on the shelf in early June with a right hip flexor strain and should be able to rejoin the White Sox after a quick stay in the minors.
Burke (3-7) took the loss against Houston on Wednesday, allowing seven runs on eight hits and one walk while striking out four batters over 3.2 innings.
Burke fell behind quickly, giving up three runs in the first frame (two of which came on a Christian Walker homer). Things didn't get much better for the right-hander from there, and he ended up surrendering a career-worst seven runs in the defeat. It was a sharp downturn after Burke rolled off a quality start in each of his previous three appearances entering Wednesday and gave up just five runs with a 17:5 K:BB over 19 frames during that span. He'll look to get back on track in what's projected to be a home start against St. Louis his next time out.
