Rotowire
The White Sox reinstated Ellard (lat) from the 60-day injured list and optioned him to Triple-A Charlotte on Friday.

White Sox's Fraser Ellard: Moved to 60-day IL
Rotowire
The White Sox transferred Ellard (lat) to the 60-day injured list Sunday.
Ellard landed on the 15-day IL in early May due to a left lat strain, and he's far enough way from a return to warrant placement on the 60-day IL. The move makes room on the 40-man roster for veteran reliever Tyler Alexander, who agreed to a contract with Chicago on Sunday.

White Sox's Fraser Ellard: Takes loss in ninth-inning collapse
Rotowire
Ellard (0-1) allowed three earned runs on two walks and a hit across two-thirds of an inning to take the loss Sunday against the Tigers.
Ellard entered the game in the eighth inning to protect a two-run lead and recorded the final out with runners on first and second. He remained on the mound for the final frame, though he allowed a leadoff single and proceeded to load the bases with two walks. Ellard was pulled at that point, but Jordan Leasure allowed all three runners to score, resulting in Ellard taking the loss. This was his third appearance of the season, with the first two coming in the sixth inning when the White Sox were losing. Ellard's usage Sunday suggests he could be a candidate for saves, though his results could change that.
