Foster was optioned to Triple-A Charlotte on Monday.
EDGE Analysis
Foster made five relief appearances for the White Sox in August and posted a 1.80 ERA and 1.60 WHIP in five innings. The right-hander had been with the major-league club since the start of the regular season but will head to the minors after Vince Velasquez (finger) was reinstated from the injured list Monday.

Foster walked one in a scoreless inning to earn the save in a 5-4 win over the Guardians in the second game of Saturday's doubleheader.
EDGE Analysis
Liam Hendriks pitched in the matinee and took the loss, so he was unavailable for the nightcap. Foster was able to protect a one-run lead despite throwing only seven of 15 pitches for strikes, earning his first save of the season. The right-hander has allowed five runs (four earned) in eight innings in July, and he owns a mediocre 4.97 ERA, 1.24 WHIP and 37:13 K:BB while adding five holds and a 1-2 record in 38 innings overall.

The White Sox placed Foster on the bereavement list Sunday, LaMond Pope of the Chicago Tribune reports.
EDGE Analysis
Foster is on bereavement leave for the second time this season; he was previously away from the team for four days in late April to address a personal matter. The White Sox called up outfielder Adam Haseley from Triple-A Charlotte to join the 26-man active roster as a replacement for Foster, who has turned in a 5.13 ERA and 1.37 WHIP across 26.1 innings out of the bullpen in 2022.

Foster was placed on the bereavement list Friday.
EDGE Analysis
Players may spend between three and seven days on the bereavement list, meaning Foster should return sometime next week. AJ Pollock (hamstring) returned from the injured list to take his place on the roster.

The White Sox recalled Foster from Triple-A Charlotte on Thursday, James Fegan of The Athletic reports.
EDGE Analysis
Foster was initially optioned to Triple-A on April 1, but the White Sox will bring him back from the minors less than a week later after reliever Ryan Burr (shoulder) was placed on the 10-day injured list Thursday. While he's up with the big club, Foster will likely be limited to low-leverage work out of Chicago's bullpen.

Foster was optioned to Triple-A Charlotte on Friday.
EDGE Analysis
Foster threw 39 innings for the White Sox last season but struggled to a 6.00 ERA. He could return when the team needs bullpen depth, but it's no surprise to see him off the roster to start the year.

The White Sox recalled Foster from Triple-A Charlotte on Sunday.
EDGE Analysis
The righty was optioned to the minors Thursday after allowing two runs in 1.1 innings of relief. In fact, Foster has allowed seven earned runs in his last 4.2 innings dating back to Aug. 15, so he shouldn't see much, if any high-leverage work during this latest stint on the big-league roster.

Foster was returned to Triple-A Charlotte after Thursday's doubleheader against Cleveland.
EDGE Analysis
Foster was up as the 29th man for the doubleheader, so this move was procedural. He threw 1.1 innings Thursday, surrendering two earned runs on a walk and two hits. For the season, Foster has a 6.32 ERA with a 40:13 K:BB across 37 innings with the White Sox.
