TORONTO -- The White Sox got some good news down on the farm on Sunday as the club announced that Hagen Smith (No. 3 prospect and MLB Pipeline’s No. 52 overall) was reinstated from the injured list at Triple-A Charlotte.

TORONTO -- After emerging as one of the most effective pitchers in the American League through the first two months of the season, White Sox right-hander Davis Martin had an uneven end to his first half.
