Called up from minors The White Sox recalled Foster from Triple-A Charlotte on Thursday, James Fegan of The Athletic reports.

Impact Foster was initially optioned to Triple-A on April 1, but the White Sox will bring him back from the minors less than a week later after reliever Ryan Burr (shoulder) was placed on the 10-day injured list Thursday. While he's up with the big club, Foster will likely be limited to low-leverage work out of Chicago's bullpen.

Optioned to Triple-A Foster was optioned to Triple-A Charlotte on Friday.

Impact Foster threw 39 innings for the White Sox last season but struggled to a 6.00 ERA. He could return when the team needs bullpen depth, but it's no surprise to see him off the roster to start the year.

Back with Chicago The White Sox recalled Foster from Triple-A Charlotte on Sunday.

Impact The righty was optioned to the minors Thursday after allowing two runs in 1.1 innings of relief. In fact, Foster has allowed seven earned runs in his last 4.2 innings dating back to Aug. 15, so he shouldn't see much, if any high-leverage work during this latest stint on the big-league roster.

Returned to Triple-A Foster was returned to Triple-A Charlotte after Thursday's doubleheader against Cleveland.

Impact Foster was up as the 29th man for the doubleheader, so this move was procedural. He threw 1.1 innings Thursday, surrendering two earned runs on a walk and two hits. For the season, Foster has a 6.32 ERA with a 40:13 K:BB across 37 innings with the White Sox.

Impact Foster gives the team an additional bullpen option. He hasn't been good in 35.2 major-league innings this season, struggling to a 6.06 ERA, so he'll likely be limited to lower-leverage situations.

Heads to Charlotte The White Sox optioned Foster to Triple-A Charlotte on Monday.

Impact Foster worked an inning out of the bullpen in both of the past two days and wasn't likely to be available for Monday's series opener versus Oakland, so Chicago will swap him off the active roster for a fresh relief arm in right-hander Ryan Burr, who was recalled from Charlotte. The 26-year-old Foster has mostly worked in middle relief this season, compiling a 5.67 ERA in 33.1 innings across 31 appearances.

Up as extra man Foster was recalled to serve as the 27th man for Monday's doubleheader against the Twins.

Impact Foster has struggled to a 6.15 ERA in 26.1 innings at the big-league level this season. His 26.9 percent strikeout rate and 7.6 percent walk rate are both better than average, but his very low 26.7 percent groundball rate has led to an inflated 2.4 HR/9. He'll likely be limited to low-leverage opportunities during his time with the team, which might only last one day if he's sent down following the doubleheader.
