White Sox Bet Big on Luis Castillo | Chicago White Sox News

Description

The White Sox just pulled off one of their biggest deadline moves in two decades, acquiring pitcher Luis Castillo on a big contract — a risky bet that could reshape their rotation. Castillo, past his prime and having a rough year, is set to debut against the Red Sox this week, while Erick Fedde shifts to the bullpen and Duncan Davitt joins temporarily for relief. This gamble contrasts sharply with past missteps like Craig Kimbrel. Meanwhile, starter Anthony Kay, who’s pitched more innings against the Rays than any other team, is looking stronger lately with a solid July ERA as they head into a rubber match against AL powerhouses. Braden Montgomery’s minor skin infection sidelines him, with Everson Pereira stepping in right field.
