Burr (shoulder) struck out two and worked around two hits to turn in a scoreless inning of relief Saturday in Triple-A Lehigh Valley's 5-4 win over Rochester.
Burr was credited with a hold in his season debut for Lehigh Valley, where he was reassigned coming out of spring training when he failed to win a spot in the Phillies' Opening Day bullpen. The right-hander battled tightness in his right shoulder in March, but he made enough progress in his recovery to avoid a season-opening stint on Lehigh Valley's injured list.

Burr has surrendered six earned runs with a 7:4 K:BB over nine big-league innings this year and will now head to the minors. He had a 2.45 ERA in 34 outings for Chicago in 2021, so he figures to rejoin the big-league bullpen at some point.

Burr missed the first three weeks of the regular season with a right shoulder strain, but he recently made a pair of rehab appearances at Triple-A Charlotte and allowed two hits and a walk while striking out two in 1.2 scoreless innings. The right-hander should serve mainly as a low-leverage reliever for the White Sox now that he's back to full health.

White Sox's Ryan Burr: Cleared for rehab assignment
Rotowire
Burr (shoulder) is scheduled to begin a minor-league rehab assignment at Triple-A Charlotte on Sunday.
Since Burr has been on the shelf all season with a right shoulder strain, the White Sox will likely want to see him make at least two appearances for Charlotte before bringing him back from the 10-day injured list. The 27-year-old mostly served in a middle-relief role for Chicago in 2021, accruing a 2.45 ERA, 1.34 WHIP and three holds across 34 appearances.

The righty appeared in three games during his latest stint with the White Sox, giving up one run, five hits and two walks while striking out three in four innings of relief.

White Sox's Ryan Burr: Back with big club
Rotowire
The White Sox recalled Burr from Triple-A Charlotte on Monday.
Burr will be up with the White Sox for the second time this season after churning out a 2.95 ERA and 1.08 WHIP in 19 relief appearances during a two-month stint with the big club earlier in 2021. He'll likely be deployed mostly in low-leverage spots, making it difficult to mine value from him even in AL-only leagues where holds are a category.

White Sox's Ryan Burr: Picks up shaky win
Rotowire
Burr (2-0) allowed two runs on three hits while striking out one but got the win over the Twins on Tuesday.
Burr entered in the eighth inning with the White Sox clinging to a one-run lead, and he allowed that to vanish after facing just two batters. He surrendered a leadoff single before Jorge Polanco took him deep to right to give the Twins their first lead of the game. Fortunately for him, the White Sox rallied off five runs in the bottom half of the frame to put him in line for the win. The 27-year-old has been excellent for most of the season, as this was just his second outing in which he's given up a run. He now owns a 1.96 ERA, 0.93 WHIP and 16:8 K:BB over 18.1 innings.

White Sox's Ryan Burr: Earns first win
Rotowire
Burr (1-0) struck out a batter in a perfect 10th inning, earning the win in Wednesday's 8-7 victory over the Rays.
The righty has yet to allow a hit, let alone a run, in 5.1 innings with the White Sox since being called up May 27, and he now has a victory to show for his success through four relief appearances. A reliever may need to be sent down once Michael Kopech (hamstring) is ready to be activated, but Burr has certainly made a case to stay with the big-league club.

White Sox's Ryan Burr: Dealing with mild shoulder soreness
Rotowire
Burr is dealing with mild right shoulder soreness but should throw off a mound later this week, James Fegan of The Athletic reports.
While Burr should be able to throw again soon, it's unclear when exactly he'll be ready for game action. He's not on the 40-man roster, so he's unlikely to pitch in a big-league game anytime soon even if healthy.

Rotowire
White Sox manager Tony La Russa said Sunday that Burr is receiving evaluation for an arm injury, James Fegan of The Athletic reports.
