White Sox option opening day starter Shane Smith to Triple-A after 3 shaky outings

The Chicago White Sox optioned opening day starter Shane Smith to Triple-A Charlotte after three shaky outings to begin the season

Sent to minors after sluggish start The White Sox optioned Smith to Triple-A Charlotte on Wednesday, James Fegan of SoxMachine.com reports.

Impact Smith was Chicago's Opening Day starter but finds himself back in the minors after putting up a 10.80 ERA, 2.52 WHIP and 11:9 K:BB over 8.1 innings in his first three starts. The right-hander should rejoin the White Sox' rotation eventually, but he will try to get sorted out at Charlotte first. Jonathan Cannon could take Smith's spot in Chicago's rotation.

Lasts three innings Wednesday Smith (0-2) was tagged with the loss Wednesday against the Marlins after allowing eight runs (seven earned) on eight hits and two walks across three innings. He fanned one.

Impact Smith allowed four runs (three earned) and didn't even finish the second inning in his season debut against the Brewers on March 26, and while he at least completed three frames this time around, the results were even worse. The White Sox don't have a lot of depth in their rotation, so Smith isn't at risk of losing his spot any time soon, but the results have been pretty disappointing. Through two starts, he has allowed 12 runs (10 earned) on 11 hits and four walks while fanning three across 4.2 innings, which translates to a ballooned 19.29 ERA.

Exits early against Brewers Smith (0-1) took the loss Thursday against the Brewers, allowing four runs (three earned) on three hits and two walks while striking out two over 1.2 innings.

Impact Smith cruised through a scoreless first inning before unraveling in the second, with the damage highlighted by a bases-clearing double from William Contreras. After laboring through 54 pitches and only recording five outs, Thursday marked the shortest outing of the right-hander's young career. After an All-Star rookie campaign in 2025 that saw him hold a 3.81 ERA with 145 strikeouts in 146.1 innings, Smith will look to move past this disastrous performance and return to his previous form in his next scheduled start.

Awarded Opening Day assignment The White Sox announced Sunday that Smith will start their March 26 season opener in Milwaukee.

Impact Coming off a rookie season in which he earned an All-Star nod while pitching to a 3.81 ERA and 1.20 WHIP over 29 starts, Smith was the obvious choice to take the hill for the Opening Day game. The 25-year-old righty will be facing off against the organization that drafted him in 2021 before he joined the White Sox after Chicago selected him in the Rule 5 Draft following the 2024 season.
