White was selected by Texas in the second round
of the 2018 amateur draft. He made five appearances with the
Rangers over the previous two years, going 0-1 with a 16.71 ERA.
Chicago manager Will Venable is familiar with White from his
time in Texas. Venable was an associate manager for the Rangers
before he was hired by the White Sox in October.
“He’s got a bunch of different pitches in his arsenal," Venable
said. "Really good kid, really somebody who can have some
versatility. He can start. In Texas, he came out of the bullpen.
So, really excited that we got Owen.”
The 25-year-old White was traded to Cincinnati on Jan. 6 for
cash. The right-hander was designated for assignment by the Reds
on Jan. 29 and claimed off waivers by the Yankees on Feb. 5. He
was designated for assignment again last week.
To make room for White on their 40-man roster, the White Sox
placed left-hander Ky Bush on the 60-day injured list. Bush had
Tommy John surgery on Wednesday.
Bush and catcher Edgar Quero were acquired by Chicago when it
traded pitchers Lucas Giolito and Reynaldo López to the Los
Angeles Angels in July 2023.
