The Chicago White Sox acquired journeyman right-hander Trevor Richards from the Philadelphia Phillies in exchange for cash considerations on Tuesday.
The White Sox transferred right-hander Drew Thorpe to the 60-day injured list to open up a 40-man roster spot for Richards.
Richards, 32, had a 2.08 ERA in 4 1/3 innings over two relief appearances with the Phillies this season. He also was 1-0 with a 1.93 ERA over nine appearances at Triple-A Lehigh Valley.
Richards is 24-28 with a 4.52 ERA in 297 career appearances (61 starts) with eight major leagues teams. Chicago will be his sixth team since the start of the 2024 campaign.
Chicago still needs to make a corresponding move to put Richards on the 26-man roster. The White Sox visit the Los Angeles Angels on Tuesday night.
Thorpe, 25, is still recovering from Tommy John surgery performed in March 2025.
