White Sox release Joey Gallo, shifts to pitching

Joey Gallo was released by the White Sox after a poor performance this spring, hitting just 2-for-20. He announced plans to transition to pitching on social media, stating, “Just to be clear, I will be pitching.” Infielder Josh Rojas has a sprained right toe and is day-to-day after getting injured while tagging a runner. He is currently in a walking boot and will receive treatment. Right-hander Mason Adams is recovering from a flexor strain in his elbow. He is awaiting further evaluation from a doctor to determine his return timeline. Center fielder Luis Robert Jr. is showing improvement this spring, batting .300 after a challenging previous season.
