White Sox summon Hagen Smith and Tanner McDougal to the majors

The White Sox promote pitching prospects Hagen Smith and Tanner McDougal from Charlotte to Chicago ahead of Saturday’s game against the Guardians, adding potential bullpen upgrades as injuries and underperformance have strained the rotation. Smith has looked strong in relief since returning from a shoulder issue, with velocity around 95 mph, and McDougal has been sitting ~98 mph; both are highly regarded by MLB Pipeline and could factor into late-season high-leverage moments.
