Outfielder Dominic Fletcher and right-handed reliever Dan Altavilla were added to the White Sox's roster on Friday, and they contributed to Chicago's 7-5 road win over the Detroit Tigers.
Fletcher, 28, had his contract purchased from Triple-A Charlotte. In his first major league game of the season, he doubled twice and scored twice while playing in both center field and right field.
In 105 games with Charlotte this year, Fletcher batted .206 with 17 home runs and 68 RBIs.
He broke into the majors with the Arizona Diamondbacks in 2023, hitting .301 with two homers and 14 RBIs in 28 games. Last year Fletcher played 72 games for the White Sox, batting .206 with one home run and 17 RBIs.
Altavilla came back from a rehab assignment with Charlotte after he was sidelined since Aug. 2 because of a right lat strain. The 32-year-old veteran got a 'hold' on Friday when he recorded the final two outs of the eighth inning, though he gave up a run on two hits.
In 26 outings for Chicago this year, Altavilla is 0-1 with a 2.63 ERA and two saves.
The White Sox cleared spaces for Fletcher and Altavilla on the active roster by optioning right-hander Jonathan Cannon and first baseman Tim Elko to Charlotte.
Cannon, 25, had a rough outing against the Minnesota Twins on Thursday, when he yielded five runs on five hits in 2 1/3 innings. He is 4-9 with a 5.67 ERA in 20 games (17 starts) for Chicago this season.
Elko, a 26-year-old rookie, hit .134 (9-for-67) with four homers and eight RBIs in 23 games with the White Sox in 2025.
