Jonathan Cannon, the White Sox right-hander, has been sent to the minors after a series of poor outings resulting in a 13.50 ERA over 12 innings. General manager Chris Getz believes this will allow Cannon to regain confidence and work on his pitching strategy, emphasizing the importance of attacking the strike zone. Cannon's recent performance included a particularly disappointing start against the Mariners, where he allowed seven runs in only five outs. The team's perspective is focused on helping Cannon improve and return to form soon.
We felt like it was a good time to give him a breather. He'd been fighting himself a little bit, searching, so we view it as an opportunity to get his confidence back.
He's a guy that needs to attack the zone. He's got an ability to get quick early contact, but he kind of got away from that approach.
It's a chance for Jonathan to take a deep breath and then find [himself]. It's really hard at the major league level when you start searching.
We know there's a better version of Jonathan Cannon than what we've seen here recently.
