[edit] Major League debut
Tracey made his Major League Baseball debut with the Chicago White Sox on June 8, 2006, against the Detroit Tigers at U.S. Cellular Field in Chicago, Illinois. In his debut, Tracey pitched two innings and surrendered 1 hit and no runs while striking out two.
[edit] Controversy
Tracey was involved in a controversial situation on June 14, 2006. With the White Sox down by 8 runs, manager Ozzie Guillen brought in Tracey to face Texas Rangers third baseman Hank Blalock in retaliation for White Sox catcher A.J. Pierzynski being hit by pitches in his first two at-bats. After ignoring a sign from Guillen to hit Blalock with the pitch, Guillen removed Tracey from the game, despite Tracey retiring Blalock. Guillen verbally berated Tracey in the dugout. Tracey was demoted to the White Sox Triple-A affiliate, the Charlotte Knights, the next day because the White Sox had already acquired another pitcher in an unrelated trade.
