As the recent crop of draft picks gets integrated into the lower-level rosters, a number of White Sox prospects received promotions.
*Jason Bilous heads from Birmingham to Charlotte. His numbers are unimpressive on the whole -- a 5.27 ERA with 55 walks and five hit batters over 83⅔ innings -- but there are signs of progress over his last eight starts are so. Here's hoping Truist Field doesn't pose the threat of a relapse.
*Matthew Thompson takes Bilous' place in Birmingham in his first real separation from Andrew Dalquist. Thompson's numbers are similarly unimpressive -- a 4.70 ERA, with 13 homers over 84⅓ innings -- but he made major strides throwing strikes.
*Norge Vera heads from Kannapolis to Winston-Salem, which should pose a stiffer challenge. Vera allowed just 12 hits over 24 innings while striking out 35. He's only averaging about three innings a start as the White Sox carefully manage his workload, so he may as well face better hitters during that limited exposure.
