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

EDGE Analysis

While he's up with the big club, Covey will provide the White Sox with a fresh arm out of the bullpen and could be a candidate to start Thursday against the Red Sox in the event Lucas Giolito (hamstring) experiences an unexpected setback that delays his return from the 10-day injured list. Assuming Giolito is good to go Thursday, however, Covey could be a prime candidate for a demotion to the minors in order to open up a spot on the active roster.
