The White Sox’ Jesse Scholtens is having Tommy John surgery Friday, ending his season.

The White Sox and Cubs made a swap of minor league pitchers Tuesday. The Sox acquired left-hander Bailey Horn, and the Cubs are getting righty Matthew Thompson.

Meanwhile, the Sox announced that right-hander Jesse Scholtens, who made 11 starts last season, will have Tommy John surgery Friday, making room on the 40-man roster for Horn.

Scholtens was transferred to the 60-day injured list with a torn ulnar collateral ligament in his right elbow.
