White Sox Place Shuster, Ellard On Injured Lists, Sign Alexander

The Chicago White Sox have placed left-handed pitcher Jared Shuster on the 15-day injured list due to a blister on his left hand, retroactive to June 5, with an expected return around June 20. Shuster, who recently struggled in a game against Detroit, has had mixed performance this season, splitting time between Triple-A and the major leagues. To make room on the roster, the team signed veteran left-handed reliever Tyler Alexander to a Major League contract and transferred left-handed pitcher Fraser Ellard from the 15-day to the 60-day injured list due to a left lat strain. These roster moves reflect the White Sox's adjustments as they manage injuries and strengthen their bullpen. Alexander has previously pitched for teams including the Brewers, Rays, and Tigers. Meanwhile, Ellard's injury is significant enough to keep him sidelined for an extended period.
