White Sox's Mike Vasil: Claimed by South Siders

The White Sox claimed Vasil off waivers from the Rays on Sunday, Anthony DiComo of MLB.com reports.

Vasil was selected by the Phillies during the Rule 5 Draft this winter, but he was quickly traded to the Rays. Tampa Bay elected not to keep him, however, and Chicago then put in a waiver claim. Vasil, who had a 6.04 ERA over 134 innings at the Triple-A level in 2024, will need to spend the full season in the majors with the White Sox, or he'll have to be offered back to the Mets.
