White Sox acquire LHP Trevor Richards from the Phillies for cash considerations
ANAHEIM, Calif. (AP) — The Chicago White Sox acquired left-hander Trevor Richards from the Philadelphia Phillies on Tuesday for cash considerations. Richards made two appearances in relief for the Phillies this season after he was called up from Triple-A Lehigh Valley on April 30.
With the Phillies, he went 4 1/3 innings with five strikeouts, three walks and a 2. 08 ERA. Over a nine-year career, Richards has also played for the Marlins, Rays, Brewers, Blue Jays, Twins, Royals and Diamondbacks.
The 32-year-old lefty has a career 4. 52 ERA. The White Sox transferred right-hander Drew Thorpe to the 60-day injured list to make room for Richards on the 40-player roster.
Thorpe continues to recover from Tommy John surgery last year. The White Sox were in Anaheim, California, for the second of a three-game series against the Angels on Tuesday night. ___ AP MLB: https://apnews.
