RHP Chris Volstad (1-1, 4.73) will start for the White Sox Sunday in the last game of the season. It will be Volstad's first career appearance against Cleveland. Volstad spent most of the 2017 season at Triple-A Charlotte, where in 27 appearances, 18 of them starts, he was 3-10 with a 5.57 ERA. In five appearances, one start, with the White Sox he is 1-1 with a 4.73 ERA.

RHP Chris Volstad (1-1) made his first start since Oct. 2, 2012 against Houston while a member of the Chicago Cubs. He gave up three-plus homers in a decisive six-run second for the Angels. It was the sixth time in his career he's given up three homers and allowed six runs in a game for the first time since Sept. 27, 2012 at Colorado.

RHP Chris Volstad (1-0, 1.08 ERA) will make Tuesday's start as RHP Carson Fulmer (right index finger blister) moves to Saturday. Volstad entered in emergency relief of Fulmer on Sept. 21 and picked up his first victory in five years in a 3-1 White Sox triumph over Houston. He worked 4 1/3 innings in that game, allowing one run on three hits while striking out a pair.

With Corey Hart (shoulder) hitting the DL, Volstad will come up after posting a 5-2 record and 3.43 ERA in 76.0 innings (14 appearances) at Triple-A. Volstad last pitched in the majors for the Rockies in 2013, appearing in six games and allowing an ugly 10 earned runs on 19 hits in 8.1 innings.

Volstad signed a minor league contract with the Pirates, Matt Eddy of Baseball America reports.

The former first-round pick (16th overall in 2005) did not pitch in the majors last season for the first time since 2008, and instead spent the year posting dismal numbers in Japan and Triple-A. He may be afforded a chance to compete for roster spot in spring training, but Volstad owns a 4.94 ERA and 1.45 WHIP for his career and would need a lot to go his way to break camp with the big club.

Jeff Fletcher of the Orange County Register confirms that Chris Volstad is expected to be released by the Angels so that he can pitch in Korea.

MLB.com's Alden Gonzalez broke the news. Volstad will receive an invite to spring training. It looks like a nice landing spot for the towering 27-year-old right-hander, as Los Angeles is thin in the rotation and became more so when they declined to tender Jason Vargas a qualifying offer. Volstad was pounded for 10 runs over 8 1/3 innings at the big league level this year and logged a 4.58 ERA across 127 2/3 frames at Triple-A. Volstad, selected with the No. 16 pick by the Marlins in the 2005 draft, owns a career 4.94 ERA and a 442/248 K/BB ratio over 703 2/3 career MLB innings.

Volstad was pounded for 10 runs over 8 1/3 innings at the big league level this year and didn't pitch well at Triple-A, either, holding a 4.58 mark across 127 2/3 frames. He'll be in search for a non-roster invite to spring training.

With the pitching struggles that they have had in recent years, having another option in the bullpen capable of throwing multiple innings is a wise decision.
