Meslar/Chicago Tribune)CHICAGO — The Chicago White Sox are calling up two of their top pitching prospects in Hagen Smith and Tanner McDougal. Smith, the team’s 2024 first-round pick, has a 4.32 ERA in 20 outings (14 starts) for Triple-A Charlotte. Smith, 22, has a 3.88 ERA in 43 career minor-league outings (37 starts) over three seasons in the Sox system. After Bullard, Smith pitched for the University of Arkansas. Both pitchers are expected to be starters long-term, but the White Sox have recently converted them to relief pitchers at Triple-A Charlotte so they could make an immediate impact this season.
