White Sox Minor League Update: April 18, 2023

Seriously, this ball to Tim Elko is about to get really hurt.Charlotte Knights

It was supposed to be the triumphant return of Sean Burke, the supposed seventh starter in the White Sox rotation. The guy with the most upside of the starting pitchers who could, realistically, see time in MLB. Welp, that’s not how the game turned out. He was activated today from the 7-day IL, and his second inning was as bad as it could have been. He did not get out of the second, only got two outs. In the two outs, he walked four and allowed five runs before he was pulled.

Yeah, not great. Declan Cronin was sent in to get the final out, he did. Nate Fisher, who was probably going to get a good number of innings…
