Nick Nastrini, a promising pitching prospect for the Chicago White Sox, made his Major League Baseball debut in a game against the Kansas City Royals. Nastrini delivered a noteworthy performance, pitching five innings where he gave up two runs and three hits, striking out five batters, and walking two. He was perfect through the first three innings. Despite his efforts, the White Sox were defeated 2-0 by the Royals. Nastrini described his debut as an 'out of body experience'. In addition to Nastrini's debut, outfielder/designated hitter Eloy Jiménez was reinstated from the 10-day injured list but was not included in the starting lineup, although he was available to pinch hit.

Nick Nastrini’s debut done after 74 pitches in five innings. He was mostly excellent, retiring the first 11 hitters he faced before a solo homer. The fifth inning didn’t go so hot, with two walks and two singles, but he only gave up one run in that inning and two on the night.

Sox bring Eloy Jiménez back from the IL. Nick Nastrini is officially brought up from Triple-A Charlotte. Justin Anderson and Zach Remillard go down to Triple-A Charlotte. And Max Stassi is moved to the 60-day IL, freeing up that 40-man spot for Nastrini.
I’m angry as hell at the White Sox right now but I’m excited for tonight. Nick Nastrini is one of the few guys on the team worth paying attention to.
