Eisert will serve as the White Sox's opening pitcher for Wednesday's game against the Dodgers, Scott Merkin of MLB.com reports.
EDGE Analysis
The Dodgers' lineup typically features two left-handed hitters (Shohei Ohtani and Freddie Freeman) in the top four spots in the order, so the White Sox will likely have the left-handed Eisert work the opening frame or two before exiting the contest. Right-hander Sean Burke is slated to work in bulk relief behind Eisert.

Eisert picked up the save in Tuesday's 4-2 win over the Astros. He allowed no hits or walks while striking out one over a perfect inning.
EDGE Analysis
With no established closer in place, Eisert became the first White Sox reliever to notch multiple saves this season. After a rough April (6.00 ERA), the southpaw has found his stride, posting a 1.74 ERA, 0.68 WHIP and 12.2 K/9 over his past 10 appearances. This season, the 27-year-old owns a 4.45 ERA and 1.34 WHIP over 28.1 innings.

Eisert will be deployed as the White Sox's opening pitcher in front of bulk reliever Jonathan Cannon in Tuesday's game against the Reds, Jack Ankony of SI.com reports.
EDGE Analysis
The White Sox haven't used an opener since an April 29 loss to the Brewers, but manager Will Venable may want the left-handed Eisert to begin the game on the mound since the Reds typically have the left-handed-hitting TJ Friedl serve as their leadoff hitter. Eisert is unlikely to work more than one or two innings before turning the game over to Cannon, who previously followed an opener in that April 26 contest against the Athletics and ended up covering a season-high 7.2 innings.

Eisert collected the save in Thursday's 3-0 rain-shortened win over the Twins, allowing one hit and striking out one batter in a scoreless seventh inning. He did not issue a walk.
EDGE Analysis
Eisert was brought in for the seventh inning and needed 14 pitches (eight strikes) to get through the frame, only giving up a double to Christian Vazquez. The game was delayed following the seventh inning due to rain and was called an hour later, giving Eisert the first save of his major-league career. He has a 4.76 ERA. 1.32 WHIP and 15:2 K:BB across 11.1 innings this season.

The White Sox recalled Eisert from Triple-A Charlotte on Friday.
EDGE Analysis
Eisert takes the roster spot of Fraser Ellard (hamstring) after he was placed on the 15-day IL on Friday. Eisert is back in the big leagues after already appearing in three games out of the bullpen for the White Sox this season. He pitched to the tune of a 12.00 ERA across three innings of work before being sent down to the minors earlier in the week.

The White Sox optioned Eisert to Triple-A Charlotte on Monday.
EDGE Analysis
Chicago will likely announce a corresponding roster move ahead of its next game Tuesday in Cleveland. A waiver pickup from the Rays in February, Eisert secured a spot in the White Sox's Opening Day bullpen and had made three appearances this season, giving up four earned runs on six hits and one walk while striking out five over three innings.

The White Sox claimed Eisert off waivers from the Rays on Friday.
EDGE Analysis
Eisert has now gone from the Blue Jays to the Rays to the White Sox since late January. The left-hander should have a good shot to win a spot in the Chicago bullpen, although he does have minor-league options remaining. Eisert allowed three runs over 6.2 frames during his brief time in the big leagues in 2024.

The Rays designated Eisert for assignment Monday, Marc Topkin of the Tampa Bay Times reports.
EDGE Analysis
The transaction frees up a spot on the 40-man roster for the signing of Ha-Seong Kim (shoulder). Eisert was just acquired from the Blue Jays in late January for cash considerations but will now be exposed to waivers.

The Blue Jays traded Eisert to the Rays on Thursday in exchange for cash considerations.
EDGE Analysis
Eisert was dropped from the Jays' 40-man roster Monday to make room for new signee Anthony Santander, but the former will reclaim a roster spot as he changes organizations. Eisert reached the majors for the first time last season, allowing three earned runs in 6.2 innings across three appearances. He'll most likely begin the 2025 campaign with Triple-A Durham.

Eisert was designated for assignment by the Blue Jays on Monday, Keegan Matheson of MLB.com reports.
EDGE Analysis
Eisert was booted from the 40-man roster to make room for the signing of Anthony Santander. Eisert made three appearances in the big leagues a season ago and figures to compete for an Opening Day roster spot in camp.
