11/04/24 The Extra Point: Former Alabama Pitcher in MLB Elects Free Agency. The journey on Chicago's South Side is over, for the time being, for one former Alabama baseball pitcher. Matt Foster, who pitched for the Crimson Tide in 2016 (the first season of the renovated Sewell-Thomas Stadium) has opted for free agency as of Monday. The 29-year-old righty hurler lost the 2023 season to Tommy John surgery and only made six appearances during the White Sox's historically difficult 2024 season, wherein he posted a 2.70 earned run average in a meager sample size of 6.2 innings.

Right-hander Matt Foster, who hasn't pitched for the White Sox since 2022, was returned from his injury rehabilitation assignment and reinstated from the 60-day injured list Friday, filling a spot in the bullpen vacated by Dominic Leone. Leone, just back from lengthy stint on the IL, left Wednesday's loss to the Yankees in the seventh inning with a right UCL sprain that put him on the 60-day IL Friday, ending his season. Leone was 0-2 with a 6.63 ERA in 19 innings, with 17 strikeouts over 23 relief appearances this season. Foster, 29, has been on the IL since the start of the season recovering from Tommy John surgery performed on April 19, 2023.

In a 1980s flashback, the first “Fire Tony” chants of the new era rang out Saturday in the 10th inning of the Chicago White Sox’s 11-9 loss to the Texas Rangers.

The nice thing is that they are getting some really good pitching from Matt Foster which really helps.

5/04/22 White Sox Rely on Matt Foster in Big Moments Again, and He Delivers. It’s a major confidence boost,” Foster said. I try to take every opportunity to get onto the field that I can, and not take it for granted, and just go out there and do the best that I can without letting outside things interfere. Not letting “outside things interfere” has been the key for Foster this season.

5/11/21 Twins crushed by White Sox 9-3 in series opener. CHICAGO – In some ways, Tuesday's game at Guaranteed Rate Field came down to a coaching showdown. With the score tied in the sixth inning, the Twins with runners at first and third, White Sox manager Tony La Russa pulled reliever Matt Foster after facing just three batters, signaling for lefty Garrett Crochet to take the mound. A bit of a bold move, considering there was only one out and the Twins had Mitch Garver on the bench, waiting to come in and pinch hit against a lefthander.
