Chicago White Sox place pitcher Michael Kopech on the bereavement list

The Sox also purchased the contract of pitcher Ryan Burr from Triple-A Charlotte, sent reliever Jace Fry on a rehab assignment to Charlotte and transferred center fielder Luis Robert to the 60-day injured list.

Under Major League Baseball rules, Kopech must remain on the bereavement list for a minimum of three days and not more than seven.

The right-hander has been one of the more dependable pitchers on the staff as a reliever and spot starter. He is 2-0 with a 1.78 ERA, two holds, 45 strikeouts and a .180 opponents average in 13 games (three starts) this season.
