González had a 2.75 ERA along with 18 strikeouts in 19.2 innings for the Charlotte Knights.#WhiteSox
González has a 3.50 ERA across Double-A Birmingham and Triple-A Charlotte in 36 innings pitched. He has thrived in hitter-friendly Charlotte with a 2.75 ERA. He has had issues with control, but the results have been there. González was a key piece in the Garrett Crochet trade with the Boston Red Sox, so he can hopefully aide the lackluster bullpen going forward.
Additionally, per WhiteSoxDave of Barstool Sports, the Sox are calling up Jake Palisch from Double-A Birmingham.

Palisch has been stretched out recently to be a starter, logging at least five innings of work in each of his last seven starts. He owns a 1.19 ERA on the year over 53 innings. He does not strike out many batters, and his xFIP is a touch below 4.00, but given the limits of the rotation, he will get a shot in the big leagues.
As the season progresses and as the trade deadline approaches, the White Sox will likely be calling up more and more players to fill in the gaps and help provide a glimpse into the future.
