Chicago White Sox place Lucas Giolito on COVID-19 injured list

CHICAGO -- White Sox starting pitcher Lucas Giolito was placed on the COVID-19-related injury list a few hours before Chicago's game Friday against the New York Yankees.

Giolito, 27, was not scheduled to appear during Chicago's four-game weekend series against New York. He is 2-1 with a 2.70 ERA over five starts this season.

To fill Giolito's spot on the roster, second-year outfielder Andrew Vaughn was reinstated from the 10-day injured list. He appeared in two rehab games for Triple-A Charlotte while working his way back from a bruised right hand suffered on May 2 when he was hit by a pitch.
