Jordan Leasure, 27-year-old RHP, has been optioned to Triple-A Charlotte by the White Sox on May 7, 2026. The move came to make room for Trevor Richards, acquired via trade from Philadelphia. Leasure has struggled significantly in 2026, posting a 6.06 ERA with a 1.22 WHIP over 16.1 innings across 16 appearances. He has allowed 5 home runs and blown 3 saves this season, failing to meet pre-season expectations despite a strong second half in 2025.
