The Chicago White Sox placed left-handed reliever Chris Murphy on the 15-day injured list on Thursday because of left elbow impingement syndrome.

The move is retroactive to Wednesday. In other moves, the White Sox recalled left-hander Brandon Eisert and right-hander Duncan Davitt from Triple-A Charlotte and optioned lefty Tyler Schweitzer to the affiliate.

Murphy, 27, last pitched on Tuesday, allowing one run on one hit and one walk in two-thirds of an inning in a 4-2 home loss to the Baltimore Orioles. He is 1-0 with one save, a 10.50 ERA, five walks and six strikeouts in six innings over six relief appearances in his first season with Chicago.

The White Sox acquired Murphy from the Boston Red Sox on Nov. 18, 2025, for minor league catcher and designated hitter Ronny Hernandez.

Murphy was 4-2 with one save, a 4.15 ERA, 37 walks and 79 strikeouts in 82 1/3 innings for the Red Sox in the 2023 and 2025 seasons. He did not play in 2024 following Tommy John surgery.

Boston selected Murphy in the sixth round of the 2019 MLB Draft out of the University of San Diego.

Eisert, 28, is a career 3-8 with two saves, a 4.36 ERA, 29 walks and 76 strikeouts in 76 1/3 innings for the Toronto Blue Jays (three games in 2024) and White Sox (72 games in 2025).

Schweitzer, 25, made his major league debut on Wednesday, allowing one run on two hits and one walk with one strikeout in 1 1/3 innings of relief in a 5-3 home setback to the Orioles.

Davitt, 26, has not appeared in a major league game. He was selected by the Tampa Bay Rays in the 18th round of the 2022 draft and traded on July 31, 2025, to the White Sox.
