So, OK, as sort of anticipated by Darren Jackson in his inadvertent takedown of the entirety of the upper-level Chicago White Sox starting corps this morning, the team designated No. 5 starter (but first on your Twitter timeline) Ervin Santana for assignment.
The move accommodates Eloy Jiménez’s return from bereavement leave. The White Sox apparently have promoted Manny Bañuelos into the starting rotation (assuming the injured Lucas Giolito’s No. 3 spot) and feel Giolito will be ripe for a return in time to assume Santana’s vacated No. 5 spot for the game next Tuesday, hosting the Baltimore Orioles.
