White Sox place Jake Petricka (hip) on the disabled list

The Chicago White Sox placed reliever Jake Petricka on the 15-day disabled list with a right hip injury.

What It Means:

It's not clear how long he might be out. Petricka owns a 4.50 ERA in 9 appearances this season.

Petricka's xFIP is 5.28 across 8 innings this season, and he has struggled with his control, walking 9 batters. He's been a below average strikeout pitcher in the majors, but he's been excellent at inducing ground balls, owning a 64.3 ground ball percentage for his career. Our models currently project him to record a 3.72 ERA with a 15.9 strikeout percentage in 53 innings over the remaining course of the season.
