White Sox's Tyler Johnson: Receives spot in 60-man pool

The White Sox announced Monday that Johnson will be included as part of the team's 60-man roster pool.

Considering the 2017 fifth-round pick has logged fewer than 20 innings above the Double-A level, the White Sox are likely viewing Johnson as luxury depth out of the bullpen due to the expanded roster. His initial opportunities will presumably come in lower-leverage spots, though he could see his role grow if he makes a strong early impression out of the big-league bullpen.
