Chicago White Sox – Per the Chicago Tribune, Chris Sale has been moved from the starting rotation to the bullpen and will immediately take over as closer.

Sale will be given a few days off and will start closing on Monday in Cleveland. Hierarchy change: Chris Sale to Closer, Hector Santiago to Set-up, Matt Thornton to 2nd in line.
