Foster's (elbow) rehab assignment was transferred to Triple-A Charlotte on Friday, Scott Merkin of MLB.com reports.
EDGE Analysis
Foster made three appearances in the Arizona Complex League, allowing one run on four hits across three innings. The 27-year-old will take the next, and possibly final, step in his rehab by pitching at Triple-A. Foster hasn't pitched in the Majors since 2022 and is currently recovering from Tommy John surgery. He could be cleared in late July.

Foster (elbow) began a rehab assignment Monday in the rookie-level Arizona Complex League, striking out two over a scoreless inning.
EDGE Analysis
Foster is working his way back from April 2023 Tommy John surgery, so he'll likely need the full 30-day rehab window to get fully ramped up. The right-hander opened his rehab assignment Monday on a positive note and is expected to make at least a few more appearances in the ACL before eventually moving up to one of the White Sox's higher-level affiliates. During his last healthy season in 2022, Foster made 48 appearances out of the White Sox bullpen and turned in a 4.40 ERA and 1.33 WHIP over 45 innings.

Foster (elbow) was placed on the 60-day injured list Friday.
EDGE Analysis
The right-hander is recovering from the Tommy John surgery he underwent last April and will be sidelined for at least the first two months of the 2024 campaign. Assuming he avoids any significant setbacks, Foster should be able to return sometime over the summer.

Foster signed a one-year, $750,000 contract with the White Sox on Friday, avoiding arbitration.
EDGE Analysis
The 28-year-old right-hander will make just north of the MLB minimum salary in 2024. He's expected to spend the first half of the season continuing his recovery from Tommy John surgery.

Foster underwent Tommy John surgery on his right elbow earlier this week, Scott Merkin of MLB.com reports.
EDGE Analysis
Foster has been out all season with what had been termed a forearm strain, but clearly there was more significant damage to his pitching arm. He'll likely be out until around midseason next year.

Foster was transferred to the 60-day injured list by the White Sox on Friday with a right flexor strain.
EDGE Analysis
The move frees up a spot on the 40-man roster and ensures that Foster won't make it back until at least late May. It's not clear whether the reliever is in the midst of a throwing program or remains shut down.

Foster was placed on the 15-day injured list by the White Sox on Thursday with a right forearm strain.
EDGE Analysis
The injury cropped up for Foster in mid-March. It's not clear at this point how long he might be sidelined, but he remains shut down so it figures to be a while.

Foster has been shut down due to a right forearm strain, Scott Merkin of MLB.com reports.
EDGE Analysis
The White Sox don't currently have a timetable for the reliever but hope to have one by the end of camp. That would seem to suggest Foster might be sidelined for a while, but it sounds like there should be more clarity by the end of next week. Foster held a 4.40 ERA over 48 appearances with the big club in 2022.

Foster was optioned to Triple-A Charlotte on Wednesday.
EDGE Analysis
Foster made just one appearance during his week in the big-league bullpen, allowing a hit and a walk while striking out two in a scoreless inning. The 27-year-old will head back to the minors after Michael Kopech (knee) was reinstated from the 15-day injured list.

The White Sox recalled Foster from Triple-A Charlotte on Thursday.
EDGE Analysis
Foster will give the White Sox an extra right-handed arm out of the bullpen for the final five weeks of the season. He's previously made 47 appearances for Chicago this season, logging a 4.50 ERA and 1.32 WHIP across 44 innings.
