Shane Smith, a rookie pitcher for the White Sox, has been placed on the 15-day injured list due to a sprained left ankle sustained during a workout at PNC Park. The injury occurred four days after Smith represented Chicago in the All-Star Game. Manager Will Venable noted the injury involves Smith's lead leg, complicating his ability to start. Imaging revealed no significant damage. Smith has a 4.26 ERA in 18 starts this season. Wikelman González has been recalled to fill his roster spot.
"Rolled his ankle running. It's his lead leg, his plant leg, which for him is his left leg," manager Will Venable said, according to MLB.com.
Smith is 3-7 with a 4.26 ERA in 18 starts. Chicago selected him in the Rule 5 draft in December.
Assistant general manager Josh Barfield said imaging on Smith's ankle 'came back clean for the most part,' MLB.com reported.
The White Sox recalled right-hander Wikelman González from Triple-A Charlotte to take Smith's roster spot.
