White Sox reinstate left-hander Jace Fry from injured list

The White Sox got some experience back in their bullpen Tuesday when they reinstated left-hander Jace Fry from the 10-day injured list and optioned lefty Bernardo Flores Jr. to the Schaumburg training facility.

Fry, 27, has been on the IL since Sept. 5 (retroactive to Sept. 3) with back spasms. He has allowed five runs over 12 ¹⁄₃ innings for a 3.65 ERA with 15 strikeouts in 13 appearances and was riding a scoreless streak of 8 ¹⁄₃ innings with 11 strikeouts over his last nine games before he went on the IL.

Flores, 24, made his major league debut at Kansas City on Sept. 3 and appeared in one additional game, allowing two earned runs in two innings. Flores has been used almost exclusively as a starter in the minor leagues.

Fry, who owns a 4.81 career ERA, has been used primarily as a middle reliever in 151 appearances for the Sox since 2017.
