White Sox right-hander Wikelman González and outfielder Mike Tauchman to miss rest of season

By Canadian Press on September 24, 2025.

NEW YORK (AP) — White Sox right-hander Wikelman González will miss the rest of the season because of right elbow impingement and Chicago outfielder Mike Tauchman will be out because of a right knee meniscus tear.

González was placed on the 15-day injured list Wednesday and Tauchman on the 10-day IL. Both moves were retroactive to Sunday.

White Sox manager Will Venable González was feeling pain.

“I think there’s not a lot of long-term concern,” Venable said. “I think he could pitch. Just want to protect him a little bit.”

Outfielder Derek Hill was claimed off waivers from Miami and right-hander Jonathan Cannon was recalled from Triple-A Charlotte. Hill was due to arrive in New York later Wednesday.

A 23-year-old right-hander, González made his major league debut on June 20 and went 1-0 with a 2.66 ERA in 16 relief appearances, striking out 25 and walking 12 in 20 1/3 innings.

Tauchman, 34, hit .263 with nine homers and 40 RBIs in 93 games.

“He really set the tone for going out there and grinding through a lot of physical ailments and his body just eventually just gave up on him there,” Venable said.
