The prospects keep coming to the South Side. First Yoan Moncada, then Nicky Delmonico, then Reynaldo Lopez, and now we get Lucas Giolito. Giolito, the White Sox no. 6 prospect, has been on a recent tear after early season struggles. In his last 5 starts, he has pitched to the tune of a 1.71 ERA with 28 strikeouts and 11 walks over 32 and 2/3 innings.
Lucas Giolito is being called up to the White Sox. He'll make start Monday in White Sox doubleheader vs. Minnesota.

After battling mechanical changes the past two seasons, Giolito finally seems to have himself in a groove. His pure stuff can absolutely make him a good, if not great pitcher in the MLB. There were rumors that Giolito would be called up for the doubleheader with Minnesota, now they are confirmed.
With an open spot on the Triple-A roster, Michael Kopech has also been officially promoted to the Charlotte Knights. He will make his debut Monday night as well.
If you don’t have tickets for Monday, make sure you get them quick. White Sox fans are finally starting to see glimpses of what the future is going to look like. For a last place team, this is definitely an exciting time.
