Ellard retired from professional baseball Tuesday.

EDGE Analysis

The 28-year-old Ellard will hang up his cleats after just two seasons in the majors, during which he posted a 3.95 ERA and 1.39 WHIP alongside a 48:31 K:BB across 41 innings with the White Sox.

Ellard will be the White Sox's opening pitcher in Wednesday's game against the Yankees, Brooke Fletcher of Chicago Sports Network reports.

EDGE Analysis

Ellard has gone more than one inning in just four of 16 appearances this season, so it will be a true opener assignment for the lefty. Tyler Alexander and Wikelman Gonzalez should be available to cover multiple innings out of Chicago's bullpen.

Ellard will open Thursday's game against the Twins, Scott Merkin of MLB.com reports.

EDGE Analysis

Ellard will work as an opener for the second time in four days after coughing up one unearned run in 1.2 innings Monday. Jonathan Cannon is expected to pitch in bulk relief after Ellard exits the game.

The White Sox recalled Ellard from Triple-A Charlotte on Monday.

EDGE Analysis

Per Jack Ankony of SI.com, Ellard will serve as the White Sox's opening pitcher for Monday's contest in Minnesota, likely covering an inning or two before turning the game over to the bullpen. Ellard was part of the late-inning mix for the White Sox last season but has collected a 5.87 ERA and 11:6 K:BB over 7.2 innings at the big-league level in 2025 and also holds a 6.48 ERA with Charlotte. Even with the continued uncertainty in Chicago's bullpen, Ellard will likely be kept away from high-leverage situations.

The White Sox returned Ellard to Triple-A Charlotte following Friday's doubleheader against Cleveland.

EDGE Analysis

Ellard struck out a batter while tossing a scoreless inning during the first game of the twin bill. Now that his duties as Chicago's 27th man have been fulfilled, the 27-year-old will return to Triple-A, where he owns a 3.27 ERA and 1.64 WHIP through 11 innings.

The White Sox recalled Ellard from Triple-A Charlotte to serve as their 27th man for Friday's doubleheader versus the Guardians.

EDGE Analysis

Ellard will rejoin the White Sox for the first time since early May, after being reinstated from the 60-day IL and optioned to Charlotte on July 4. During his time at Triple-A this season, Ellard hasn't shown an ability to curb his walks (17.3 BB% in 11 innings), so the White Sox may not be eager to deploy him in high-leverage spots. He'll likely be returned to Charlotte once the twin bill concludes.

The White Sox reinstated Ellard (lat) from the 60-day injured list and optioned him to Triple-A Charlotte on Friday.

EDGE Analysis

Ellard held his opponents scoreless in each of his final five rehab appearances with Charlotte, but the White Sox will need to see more before returning the lefty to the major-league roster. He made seven appearances out of the Chicago bullpen before going down with the lat injury, posting a 6.75 ERA and 1.05 WHIP over 6.2 innings.

Ellard (lat) was assigned to Triple-A Charlotte on Tuesday to begin a rehab assignment.

EDGE Analysis

The left-hander has been sidelined by a lat strain since early May and was transferred to the 60-day IL in early June. Ellard will have a couple weeks to get up to speed in the minors since he won't be eligible to be reinstated until July 3.

The White Sox transferred Ellard (lat) to the 60-day injured list Sunday.

EDGE Analysis

Ellard landed on the 15-day IL in early May due to a left lat strain, and he's far enough way from a return to warrant placement on the 60-day IL. The move makes room on the 40-man roster for veteran reliever Tyler Alexander, who agreed to a contract with Chicago on Sunday.

The White Sox placed Ellard on the 15-day injured list Sunday due to a left lat strain.

EDGE Analysis

The left-hander presumably sustained the injury Saturday when he gave up two runs on two walks over two-thirds of an inning. Ellard missed most of April due to a hamstring strain and is now on the injured list for the second time this season.
