He&#8217;s expected to join the team Tuesday in Houston.<\/p>\n<p class=\"article__body\">Taylor is the Sox&#8217;s No. 6 ranked prospect by MLB Pipeline and will be interesting to watch, with a fastball that\u2019s regularly reached 100 miles per hour.<\/p>\n<p class=\"article__body\">He&#8217;s posted a 1.01 ERA in the minors this season, with 37 strikeouts in just under 27 innings. He began the year in Birmingham&#8217;s rotation, then after six starts, shifted to a bullpen role.<\/p>\n<p class=\"article__body\">As a reliever, he has not allowed a run in 9 1\/3 innings, with just 3 hits, 1 walk and 18 strikeouts. His performance led to speculation he might be ready for success in a short-inning role in the majors.<\/p>\n<p class=\"article__body\">Taylor, 23, was a second-round pick out of LSU in 2023. The Alabama native pitched in 17 games as a college freshman in &#8217;22, then missed his sophomore season due to elbow surgery.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"The White Sox plan to call up pitcher Grant Taylor from Double-A Birmingham.
