White Sox's Jonathan Cannon: Optioned after three-inning save
Rotowire
The White Sox optioned Cannon to Triple-A Charlotte on Thursday.
Cannon registered a three-inning save in Wednesday's win over the Rangers. He threw 66 pitches over his three innings, however, so he was not going to be available to pitch for at least a couple days. Tyler Davis is grabbing Cannon's spot on the roster.

White Sox's Jonathan Cannon: Gets three-inning save
Rotowire
Cannon allowed two runs on four hits and two walks while striking out four over three innings to earn the save in Wednesday's 10-4 win over the Rangers.
Cannon's second major-league save was of the three-inning variety in a game where the White Sox saw three pitchers each take three frames. Cannon was called up from Triple-A Charlotte on Tuesday to replenish the team's bullpen after Huascar Brazoban (lat) landed on the injured list. Considering Cannon threw 66 pitches (44 strikes), he's likely to be down for a few days and may be optioned out for a fresh arm ahead of a three-game series in Minnesota, which begins Friday.

White Sox's Jonathan Cannon: Recalled, slated for bulk relief
Rotowire
The White Sox recalled Cannon from Triple-A Charlotte on Sunday.
Right-hander Grant Taylor is slated to open the game for the White Sox, but he'll presumably be limited to an inning or two before giving way to Cannon, who is projected to work in bulk relief. Cannon will be stepping into to the rotation spot vacated by Opening Day starter Shane Smith, who was optioned to Triple-A on Wednesday. Through two starts with Charlotte this season, Cannon covered 8.2 innings and struck out 10 batters while allowing seven earned runs on 12 hits and four walks.

Rotowire
The White Sox are planning to summon Cannon from Triple-A Charlotte to serve in bulk relief against the Royals on Sunday, James Fegan of SoxMachine.com reports.
Cannon was unable to break camp with Chicago and has struggled in two starts with Charlotte so far, allowing seven earned runs on 12 hits while posting a 10:4 K:BB over 8.2 innings. However, the White Sox appear set to have Cannon work at least a few innings Sunday behind opener Grant Taylor. Duncan Davitt is likely to be sent down to the minors to make space on the 26-man roster for Cannon, per Fegan.

Rotowire
The White Sox optioned Cannon to Triple-A Charlotte on Tuesday, Scott Merkin of MLB.com reports.

White Sox's Jonathan Cannon: Hit hard in bulk-relief loss
Rotowire
Cannon (4-10) took the loss Wednesday against the Yankees, surrendering five runs on six hits and a walk while striking out six over 4.1 innings.
Cannon entered in the first inning after opener Fraser Ellard walked the bases loaded, and he managed to escape the jam quickly by striking out Paul Goldschmidt. However, the right-hander quickly unraveled, giving up back-to-back multi-run frames that included a three-run homer from Aaron Judge in the second. The long ball marked the seventh Cannon has allowed in his last five starts, a brutal stretch in which he's posted a 13.50 ERA across 18.2 innings while giving up at least five runs in every outing and taking three losses. The 25-year-old now owns a 5.87 ERA, 1.50 WHIP and 84:38 K:BB across 102.2 innings this season.

White Sox's Jonathan Cannon: Rocked in bulk-relief outing
Rotowire
Cannon allowed five runs on five hits and two walks while striking out two over 2.1 innings versus the Twins on Thursday. He did not factor in the decision.

Cannon's struggles mostly came in the fourth inning, but the White Sox were ultimately able to persevere and went on to win 11-8.

Overall, Cannon has a 4.22 ERA, 1.22 WHIP and 78:37 K:BB through 98.1 innings across 20 appearances (17 starts).

White Sox's Jonathan Cannon: Set for bulk relief Thursday
Rotowire
The White Sox will recall Cannon from Triple-A Charlotte to pitch in bulk relief during Thursday's game against the Twins, Kyle Williams of the Chicago Sun-Times reports.
Cannon owns a 5.34 ERA and 1.46 WHIP through 96 innings in the majors, but he's set to make his return to Chicago and follow opener Fraser Ellard on Thursday. The right-hander will get to face a Twins offense that sports a .696 OPS since the beginning of August, but he shouldn't be viewed as a reliable fantasy option after giving up at least five earned runs in each of his last three big-league outings.

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.

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: 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.
