The Chicago White Sox reinstated right-handed pitcher Shane Smith from the 15-day injured list ahead of the team's series opener at the Los Angeles Angels on Friday.
Chicago also selected the contract of outfielder Corey Julks from Triple-A Charlotte and optioned outfielder Will Robertson to Triple-A.
Smith, 25, landed on the injured list retroactive to July 16 with a left ankle sprain. The White Sox returned him to the rotation immediately as he was slotted to start Friday's game against the Angels.
Smith was 3-7 with a 4.26 ERA and 81 strikeouts across 18 starts for the White Sox before hitting the injured list. Thanks to a fast start that led to a 2.37 ERA through his first 13 starts, Smith became the first Chicago rookie pitcher to be selected to the AL All-Star team.
The 29-year-old Julks joins the White Sox after batting .295 with 10 home runs and 46 RBIs over 87 games with Charlotte this season. He played in 66 games with Chicago a year ago, hitting .214 with three homers and 14 RBIs.
Robertson, 27, made four appearances for the White Sox this year, going 0-for-6 with four strikeouts. In 2025, which includes three other games with Toronto, Robertson is 1-for-16 at the plate. Chicago acquired the outfielder from the Blue Jays on July 10 in exchange for cash considerations.
