Chicago White Sox right-hander Jonathan Cannon has been scratched from Saturday's start against the visiting Texas Rangers due to lower back tightness.

Right-hander Bryse Wilson (0-2, 6.00 ERA) will get the nod in favor of Cannon (2-5, 3.76), who is listed as day-to-day by the team.

Wilson, 27, has made 14 appearances (four starts) this season. He allowed seven runs on 10 hits -- including three homers -- in 5 1/3 innings in a 7-1 loss to the Cincinnati Reds in his most recent outing on May 15.

Wilson is 1-0 with a 0.00 ERA in two career relief appearances (6 2/3 innings) versus the Rangers.

Cannon, 24, has dropped two of his past three games and took a 6-2 loss to the Chicago Cubs on Sunday. He gave up four runs (three earned) in five innings. The stint snapped a four-game streak of quality starts for Cannon.
