GAME LOG
INJURIES
To IL with back injury
Foster was placed on the 15-day injured list Friday with a lower-back disc herniation.
Impact
The move is retroactive to Sept. 12. Foster gave up two runs in 3.2 innings over four appearances since getting recalled from Triple-A Charlotte on Sept. 3. Jake Eder was promoted in a corresponding move.

Recalled from Triple-A
The White Sox recalled Foster from Triple-A Charlotte on Tuesday, LaMond Pope of the Chicago Tribune reports.
Impact
Foster made two scoreless appearances last month during his first stint in the big league since he had Tommy John surgery last August. The right-hander will offer interim manager Grady Sizemore a fresh relief arm after he used his bullpen to cover 4.2 innings in Monday's loss to the Orioles.
SEPTEMBER 3
•
ROTOWIRE
Returned to Charlotte
The White Sox returned Foster to Triple-A Charlotte after Wednesday's doubleheader versus Texas.
Impact
Foster threw two scoreless innings while serving as Chicago's opener in the nightcap, giving up two hits and a walk while recording a strikeout. He'll now return to the minors and continue to serve as organizational bullpen depth, though given his effectiveness in both the majors and Triple-A, there's a good chance he makes another appearance for the White Sox before the end of the year.
AUGUST 29

ROTOWIRE
Up as 27th man
Foster was added to the White Sox's roster as the 27th man ahead of the second game of Wednesday's doubleheader against Texas.
Impact
Foster will also serve as the opener for the White Sox, as they plan on relying on their bullpen to get them through Wednesday's nightcap. The 29-year-old righty threw a scoreless inning out of the bullpen during his season debut Aug. 16, and he owns a 2.40 ERA through 15 innings at Triple-A Charlotte.

Demoted to Triple-A
Foster was optioned to Triple-A Charlotte on Monday.
Impact
Foster was reinstated from the 60-day injured list Friday after making a full recovery from Tommy John surgery, and he'll be sent to work in the minors after making one appearance with the big club. He tossed a scoreless frame Friday against Houston, collecting one strikeout and a hold in the process.

ROTOWIRE
Activated from IL
The White Sox reinstated Foster (elbow) from the 60-day injured list Friday.
Impact
Foster's lengthy recovery from Tommy John surgery he underwent in April 2023 is finally complete, as he joins the White Sox active roster Friday. The 27-year-old made 14 minor-league rehab appearances, 11 of which were for Triple-A Charlotte, where he logged a 2.31 ERA and 17 Ks across 11.2 innings. Dominic Leone (elbow) was placed on the 60-day injured list in a corresponding move.

Impact
Foster has missed the entirety of the 2024 season so far while recovering from Tommy John surgery, which he underwent April 19, 2023. He suffered a strained back earlier in July while on his rehab assignment with Charlotte, prompting a shutdown. Once healthy, Foster will likely be used in low-leverage spots out of the White Sox bullpen.

Resuming rehab assignment
Foster (elbow/back) is expected to resume his rehab assignment with Triple-A Charlotte in the coming days, Daryl Van Schouwen of the Chicago Sun-Times reports.
Impact
Foster has missed the entirety of the 2024 season so far while continuing to recover the Tommy John surgery he underwent in April of 2023 and most recently he suffered a strained back earlier in July while on his rehab assignment with Charlotte. Manager Pedro Grifol said Monday that the right-hander will appear in another game in the next day or two. Once healthy, Foster will likely be used in low-leverage spots out of Chicago's bullpen until he finds his footing again at the major-league level.

Rehab paused due to strained back
Foster's (elbow) rehab assignment with Triple-A Charlotte has been paused due to a strained back, Vinnie Duber of AllCHGO.com reports.
Impact
Foster has returned to Chicago to be examined. It does not seem to be a major setback, with the reliever possibly re-starting his rehab assignment as soon as this weekend. Foster hasn't pitched in the majors since September of 2022 after undergoing Tommy John surgery but could be a factor in the White Sox' bullpen in the second half.

ROTOWIRE
Shifts to 60-day IL
Foster (elbow) was placed on the 60-day injured list Friday.
Impact
The right-hander is recovering from the Tommy John surgery he underwent last April and will be sidelined for at least the first two months of the 2024 campaign. Assuming he avoids any significant setbacks, Foster should be able to return sometime over the summer.

Undergoes Tommy John surgery
Foster underwent Tommy John surgery on his right elbow earlier this week, Scott Merkin of MLB.com reports.
Impact
Foster has been out all season with what had been termed a forearm strain, but clearly there was more significant damage to his pitching arm. He'll likely be out until around midseason next year.

Shifted to 60-day IL
Foster was transferred to the 60-day injured list by the White Sox on Friday with a right flexor strain.
Impact
The move frees up a spot on the 40-man roster and ensures that Foster won't make it back until at least late May. It's not clear whether the reliever is in the midst of a throwing program or remains shut down.

Sent to 15-day injured list
Foster was placed on the 15-day injured list by the White Sox on Thursday with a right forearm strain.
Impact
The injury cropped up for Foster in mid-March. It's not clear at this point how long he might be sidelined, but he remains shut down so it figures to be a while.

Battling forearm strain
Foster has been shut down due to a right forearm strain, Scott Merkin of MLB.com reports.
Impact
The White Sox don't currently have a timetable for the reliever but hope to have one by the end of camp. That would seem to suggest Foster might be sidelined for a while, but it sounds like there should be more clarity by the end of next week. Foster held a 4.40 ERA over 48 appearances with the big club in 2022.

Sent down Monday
Foster was optioned to Triple-A Charlotte on Monday.
Impact
Foster made five relief appearances for the White Sox in August and posted a 1.80 ERA and 1.60 WHIP in five innings. The right-hander had been with the major-league club since the start of the regular season but will head to the minors after Vince Velasquez (finger) was reinstated from the injured list Monday.

Earns first save
Foster walked one in a scoreless inning to earn the save in a 5-4 win over the Guardians in the second game of Saturday's doubleheader.
Impact
Liam Hendriks pitched in the matinee and took the loss, so he was unavailable for the nightcap. Foster was able to protect a one-run lead despite throwing only seven of 15 pitches for strikes, earning his first save of the season. The right-hander has allowed five runs (four earned) in eight innings in July, and he owns a mediocre 4.97 ERA, 1.24 WHIP and 37:13 K:BB while adding five holds and a 1-2 record in 38 innings overall.
