The White Sox optioned Leasure to Triple-A Charlotte on Thursday. The 27-year-old will be kicked out of the White Sox's bullpen in order to make room for Trevor Richards, whom Chicago acquired in a trade with the Phillies on Tuesday. Leasure has accumulated a 6.06 ERA and 1.22 WHIP through 16.1 innings this season. If he's able to turn things around in the minors, he may be welcomed back into the big-league pen.

Jordan Leasure: Breaking News
Opening Thursday
Leasure will work as Chicago's opening pitcher Thursday against the Rays, James Fegan of SoxMachine.com reports. Leasure gave up four earned runs over his first four appearances of the season, but he has since fired 4.2 shutout frames. The White Sox will now trust him to handle the first three batters of Thursday's series finale before handing the ball over to Anthony Kay for bulk-relief work.
Throws scoreless inning
Leasure threw a scoreless, hitless inning, walking one batter in a 10-9 loss against the Athletics on Monday. Leasure appeared in nine games this spring for the White Sox, posting a 1.00 ERA in nine innings. The right-hander appeared in 68 games last season, recording a 3.92 ERA along with 81 strikeouts and seven saves for Chicago. The 27-year-old will pitch near the back end of the bullpen as a vital, high-leverage arm for the White Sox in 2026 next to a number of converted starters including Grant Taylor, Jordan Hicks and Sean Newcomb.
