Sean Burke took the first step in that process on Friday, starting for the Triple-A Charlotte Knights against the Norfolk Tides of the Baltimore Orioles' organization. He finished with five innings, eight hits, four earned runs, three walks, four strikeouts and one home run allowed across 89 pitches.

The White Sox announced today that right-hander Sean Burke has been optioned to Triple-A Charlotte. Fellow righty Owen White has been recalled in a corresponding move. Per Scott Merkin of MLB.com, left-hander Martín Pérez will start Wednesday’s game.
