White Sox invite Jesse Crain to spring training
Jesse Crain didn't pitch a single inning for the Houston Astros last season in a campaign marred by biceps surgery, but the right-hander will receive a chance this spring to re-establish himself with the team that employed him from 2011 to 2013.
Crain, who turns 34 in July, will receive an invitation to spring training with the Chicago White Sox - despite the fact that he hasn't thrown a pitch in the majors since June of 2013.
Crain did, however, fashion a 2.10 ERA with a 28.7 percent strikeout rate across 156 appearances with the White Sox from 2011-13. The former second-round pick earned his first career All-Star appearance for his efforts in 2013, wherein he managed a career-best 0.74 ERA in 38 outings before landing on the disabled list in June.
