Needing an arm to replace Michael Kopech, the White Sox decided to bring Rob Scahill home to Chicago. They purchased the contract of the 31-year-old veteran off the Triple-A Charlotte roster to add depth to the pitching staff.
Scahill, 31, was 3-4 with a 5.64 ERA and five saves in 52 appearances for Charlotte. He is a native of Lombard who attended Willowbrook High School and Bradley University, and lives in Villa Park.
Scahill has made 118 big-league appearances with the Rockies, Pirates and Brewers, going 5-7 with a 3.
