- The White Sox promoted 23-year-old right-hander Grant Taylor from Double-A Birmingham on Tuesday and he threw a scoreless seventh inning in a 4-2 victory at Houston's Daikin Park.
- After being picked in the 2023 draft's second round, Taylor faced setbacks from Tommy John surgery and a lat injury that restricted him to just 19 1/3 innings in 2024.

- Taylor’s call-up offers an immediate bullpen boost and follows a path similar to All-Star Garrett Crochet, indicating potential for Taylor to develop into a multi-inning starter.
