The White Sox welcomed back one of their more valuable bullpen pieces on Friday when Jake Petricka was reinstated to the major league roster.
The veteran right-hander has been out since suffering a strained right lat on April 4, and just finished a three-game rehab stint at Triplle-A Charlotte, where he allowed two earned runs over four innings.
Petricka pitched in only nine games last season due to a hip tear that required season-ending right hip surgery on June 10. He takes the place of Brad Goldberg, who was optioned to Charlotte on Thursday.
