Great Falls Voyagers News Release
The Chicago White Sox announced the following move Sunday, affecting the Great Falls Voyagers roster:

A 13th round pick by the White Sox this year out of Ohio State, Riga made seven appearances out of the Great Falls bullpen after arriving from the AZL White Sox on July 11. The southpaw posted a 1.50 ERA in those seven outings, covering 12.0 innings. The Fairfield, Ohio, native struck out 15 in his time with the Voyagers, for a strikeout rate of 11.3K/9 innings.
