White Sox Option Shane Smith, Call Up Tyler Schweitzer

0:00It's April 8th. Welcome in. This is MLB News Today, where baseball meets AI. Chicago White Sox's optioned opening-day starter, Shane Smith, to Triple-A Charlotte after three shaky starts this season. The 26-year-old Reiti, an all-star rookie last year, sits as zero wins two losses with a 10.80 ERA. He's allowed ten earned runs over eight and a third innings, with nine walks against 11 strikeouts, mainly battling fastball command issues. In Tuesday's outing versus Baltimore, Smith fired three and a third scoreless frames, but needed 99 pitches, walking five and plunking one. The socks fell four-two when the Orioles erupted for three in the eighth. Team brass sees this as short-term to lock-in adjustments, no firm return day yet. They also called up left-hander Tyler Schweitzer from Charlotte and shifted infielder Brooks Baldwin to the 60-day injured list for right elbow. Surgery. Smith's minor league reset aims to sharpen that edge quick, keeping the socks rotation
