White Sox's Jonathan Cannon: Sent down to Triple-A
Rotowire
The White Sox optioned Cannon to Triple-A Charlotte on Friday.
Cannon had yielded six or more runs in three consecutive starts, and he'll lose his spot on the active roster as a result. The poor stretch of play came out of nowhere for Cannon, as he had allowed six total runs in his previous four outings before the rough stretch. Wikelman Gonzalez was recalled from Charlotte in a corresponding move.

White Sox's Jonathan Cannon: Struggles again Wednesday
Rotowire
Cannon (4-9) allowed seven runs on four hits and three walks over 1.2 innings to take the loss against Seattle on Wednesday. He struck out three batters.
Cannon fell behind quickly, giving up a two-run home run to Josh Naylor in the first inning. Things got even worse for the hurler in the second, as the Mariners put five more runs on the board, the final three of which came on a Julio Rodriguez three-run homer. The seven total runs Cannon allowed were his most so far this season, and he's now given up a total of 19 runs (18 earned) across 12 innings over his past three starts. The rough stretch has ballooned his season ERA from 4.18 to 5.34.

White Sox's Jonathan Cannon: Tagged with six runs
Rotowire
Cannon (4-8) yielded six runs on seven hits and two walks over six innings Tuesday, striking out three and taking a loss against the Phillies.
All the damage against Cannon came in the first three innings, with four runs coming in the third on a pair of two-run homers by Kyle Schwarber and Brandon Marsh. Cannon did not let another baserunner reach scoring position after that ugly frame. He's been tagged with 12 runs (11 earned) in his last two outings, raising his season ERA from 4.18 to 4.77 in the process. Prior to these two starts, he was 2-0 with a 2.66 ERA in four appearances since his last loss June 2. Cannon is projected to take the mound in Seattle next week.

White Sox's Jonathan Cannon: Struggles but fans nine
Rotowire
Cannon allowed six runs (five earned) on seven hits and one walk while striking out nine batters over 4.1 innings in a no-decision against Tampa Bay on Wednesday.
It was truly a mixed bag for Cannon in the outing -- he had pretty good control in throwing 58 of 90 pitches for strikes and missed plenty of bats, notching an impressive 18 whiffs and a season-high nine punchouts. However, the right-hander also tied a season-worst mark in allowing six runs, though one was unearned. Cannon also served up two homers after giving up just one long ball over his previous four outings combined. He had posted a 2.66 ERA across 20.1 frames during that four-game stretch, so Wednesday's performance was a step back despite the healthy punchout total. Cannon's next start is projected to be a home matchup against Philadelphia.

White Sox's Jonathan Cannon: Efficient over seven during win
Rotowire
Cannon (4-7) earned the win Friday against the Pirates, allowing one run on five hits over seven innings while striking out two.
Cannon turned in one of his best outings of the season, limiting Pittsburgh to a single run on an RBI knock by Oneil Cruz in the fourth. It marked just the second time this year the 24-year-old has completed at least seven innings, needing only 86 pitches to do so. Cannon wasn't overpowering but relied on soft contact to breeze through the outing. The right-hander heads into his next scheduled start against the Rays sporting a 4.18 ERA, 1.38 WHIP and 63:29 K:BB across 84 innings.
White Sox's Jonathan Cannon: Fans five in no-decision
Rotowire
Cannon didn't factor into the decision in the second game of Friday's doubleheader against the Guardians, giving up two runs on three hits and three walks over five innings. He struck out five.
Chicago went on to split the twin bill by winning the nightcap in 11 innings, and Cannon pitched well enough to keep his team in the game early, with his only real mistake resulting in a two-run homer by Jose Ramirez in the third inning. Cannon will head into the All-Star break with a 4.44 ERA, 1.44 WHIP and 61:29 K:BB through 77 innings on the season, and the 24-year-old righty's spot in the second-half rotation could depend on whether a veteran gets traded away before the deadline, as Davis Martin (forearm) is closing in on his return.

White Sox's Jonathan Cannon: Nabs first win since May 2
Rotowire
Cannon (3-7) earned the win Saturday in Colorado, giving up two runs on eight hits and two walks over 5.1 innings. He struck out one.
The right-hander surrendered two runs on three hits during the opening frame but buckled down for another four-plus innings to keep the Rockies off the board. Cannon threw just 47 of 78 pitches for strikes and allowed 10 baserunners, but he limited the damage enough to secure his first victory since May 2, which was a run of six starts between wins. The 24-year-old has a 4.50 ERA, 1.46 WHIP and 56:26 K:BB over 72 innings through 14 outings in 2025.

White Sox's Jonathan Cannon: Sunday's start confirmed
Rotowire
Manager Will Venable said after Saturday's game that Cannon (back) will start for the White Sox on Sunday against the Giants, Jack Ankony of SI.com reports.
Venable said pregame that Cannon could potentially start Sunday's game, but the skipper left no doubt in the matter with his postgame comments. It'll be Cannon's first MLB appearance since being placed on the 15-day injured list June 3 due to a lower-back strain. The 24-year-old made one rehab start, throwing three scoreless innings with Triple-A Charlotte on Tuesday. Cannon threw 48 pitches in the outing, so some sort of pitch limit should be expected.

White Sox's Jonathan Cannon: Goes three innings in return
Rotowire
Cannon didn't factor into the decision Sunday against the Giants, allowing one run on three hits and three walks over three innings. He struck out four.
A lower-back strain kept Cannon on the shelf for over three weeks, and the 24-year-old was on a pitch count Sunday in his first start back. He threw just 69 pitches. Cannon has struggled with control this season, having walked three or more batters in six of his 13 appearances. He'll take a 4.59 ERA and a 55:24 K:BB through 66.2 innings into his next start, which is scheduled to come next weekend at Coors Field.

White Sox's Jonathan Cannon: Reinstated for Sunday's start
Rotowire
The White Sox activated Cannon (back) from the 15-day injured list ahead of his start Sunday against the Giants.
The right-hander has been sidelined most of June due to a lower-back strain, but he's ready to rejoin Chicago's rotation after one rehab game. Cannon threw 48 pitches over three scoreless innings with Triple-A Charlotte on Tuesday, so he's likely to have some workload limitations in his first couple starts back with the White Sox.

White Sox's Jonathan Cannon: Bothered by back
Rotowire
Cannon is expected to be evaluated for a lower-back injury over the next few days, Kyle Williams of the Chicago Sun-Times reports. He took his seventh loss of the season Monday against the Tigers, surrendering five runs on four hits and three walks while striking out five over three innings.
Cannon did his best to push through the back issue, but it was evident he didn't have his best stuff. "Bothered me a little bit out there, but I chose to go out there and try to compete, work through it a little bit," said the 24-year-old after the appearance, per Scott Merkin of MLB.com. "We'll kind of assess in the coming days and see if we can figure out a solution." It's currently unclear if he'll be able to make his next turn through the rotation, which would tentatively line up for Saturday against the Royals.

White Sox's Jonathan Cannon: Hit hard by Mets
Rotowire
Cannon (2-6) took the loss Tuesday as the White Sox fell 6-4 to the Mets, coughing up five runs on nine hits and a walk over 5.2 innings. He struck out four.
Four of the hits off Cannon went for extra bases, including first-inning homers by Pete Alonso and Jared Young. It's the first time since April 10 that Cannon has been taken deep more than once, and the first time since April 21 the right-hander has been charged with more than three earned runs. Despite Tuesday's stumble, he'll take a respectable 4.15 ERA, 1.35 WHIP and 46:18 K:BB through 60.2 innings into his next outing, which is lined up to come at home early next week against the Tigers.

White Sox's Jonathan Cannon: Slated for Tuesday's start
Rotowire
Cannon (back) will start Tuesday's game against the Mets, Kyle Williams of the Chicago Sun-Times reports.
Cannon had previously been in line to make his ninth start of the season this past Sunday against the Rangers, but he was scratched due to lower-back tightness. The right-hander has apparently responded well to a couple extra days of recovery and will now make his next turn through the rotation Tuesday. Cannon is enjoying an impressive month so far, posting a 2.74 ERA and 1.13 WHIP with a 15:0 K:BB across 23 innings (four starts).
