The Chicago White Sox had a 7-23 record coming into Thursday. Of the 23 defeats, 13 have been by one or two runs.

In corresponding moves, the Cubs transferred right-hander Javier Assad from the 15-day IL to the 60-day and optioned left-handed reliever Tom Cosgrove to Triple-A.

On Saturday, the Chicago Cubs traded Rule 5 pick Gage Workman to the Chicago White Sox for cash considerations. The Cubs chose to move on from the rookie infielder after making two costly errors in a game against the Los Angeles Dodgers last week.
