The Charlotte Knights, the Triple-A affiliate of the Chicago White Sox, announced a series of roster moves prior to Tuesday night’s game.

The pitching staff in Charlotte got a serious shake up, with some additions coming through the waiver wire and promotions for deserving prospects.

Caleb Freeman and Adisyn Coffey were both demoted to the Double-A level. Elvis Peguero was added to Charlotte’s roster after being claimed off waivers from the Milwaukee Brewers earlier this week.

Zach Franklin, a 26-year-old relief pitcher who has been the closer for the Double-A Birmingham Barons most of the 2025 season, was promoted to Triple-A and is now just one step away from joining the White Sox.
