The team announced the move on Friday. It also
claimed left-hander Brandon Eisert off waivers from Tampa Bay
and agreed to a minor league deal with infielder Tristan Gray.
The 32-year-old Drury is coming off a disappointing 2024 season.
He batted .169 with four homers and 15 RBIs in 97 games for the
Los Angeles Angels.
But Drury hit .263 with a career-high 28 homers and 87 RBIs
while playing for Cincinnati and San Diego in 2022. He also had
26 homers and 83 RBIs in his first season with the Angels in
2023.
Drury also has made big league starts at first base, second,
third, shortstop, left field and right.
Eisert, 27, made his major league debut last year, pitching 6
2/3 innings of three-run ball over three relief appearances for
Toronto. He was acquired by Tampa Bay in a Jan. 23 trade, but he
was designated for assignment when the Rays signed infielder Ha-Seong
Kim on Monday.
The White Sox designated right-hander Steven Wilson for
assignment to make room for Eisert on their 40-man roster.
Wilson went 1-6 with a 5.71 ERA in 40 relief appearances for
Chicago last year.
Gray, 28, has appeared in 17 big league games over the last two
years, batting .152 (5 for 33) with a home run.
Chicago also announced outfielder Zach DeLoach cleared waivers
and was outrighted to Triple-A Charlotte.
