White Sox place Jake Petricka on DL, recall Tommy Kahnle

The White Sox were bitten by the injury bug just one game into the season.

The Sox announced Thursday they were putting right-handed reliever Jake Petricka on the 10-day disabled list with a strained right lat muscle, retroactive to April 5. Petricka pitched one scoreless inning Tuesday against the Tigers, the Sox’s only game so far this season because of two rainouts.

The Sox recalled right-hander Tommy Kahnle from Triple-A Charlotte to replace Petricka.

Petricka has had a rough time with injuries over the last year. He pitched in just nine games in 2016 before surgery to repair a labral tear in his right hip.
