The Chicago White Sox called up left-hander Fraser Ellard from Triple-A Charlotte to have him serve as their opener for Monday's series opener against the division-rival Minnesota Twins at Target Field. The White Sox also recalled infielder Bryan Ramos from Charlotte. Ellard should be avoided as a fantasy streamer on Monday, as he will likely only go an inning or two in this one. The 27-year-old southpaw has only thrown 7 2/3 innings at the big-league level in 2025 and has allowed five earned runs on one hit while walking six and striking out 11. He was better in his major-league debut for the White Sox last year, posting a 3.75 ERA, a 1.25 WHIP, his first career save and a 26:12 K:BB in 24 innings in a late-inning role. Ellard also hasn't been good at Charlotte in 2025 with a 6.48 ERA. Avoid him.

The Chicago White Sox have placed left-handed pitcher Fraser Ellard (lat) on the 15-day injured list with a left lat strain. This will be the 27-year-old's second stint on the injured list as he missed time in April with a hamstring strain. Ellard logged just 2/3 of an inning in Saturday's contest but stumbled as he allowed two runs and two walks. Through six 2/3 innings of work, Ellard has held a 6.75 ERA with a 1.05 WHIP. During his limited taste of action, Ellard has flashed strikeout potential as he has struck out 10 batters. Last summer, the southpaw made his MLB debut and posted a 3.75 ERA with a 1.25 WHIP across 24 innings of work. While he remains sidelined, fantasy managers should expect Cam Booser and Mike Vasil to see more high-leverage opportunities.
