The Chicago White Sox acquired infielder Gage Workman from the Chicago Cubs on Saturday afternoon for cash considerations.
The 25-year-old rookie posted three hits in 14 at-bats this season before the Cubs designated him for assignment Wednesday. To make room on the active roster, the White Sox designated veteran infielder Nick Maton for assignment.
The Cubs picked up the 6-foot-4, 200-pound Workman during MLB's Rule 5 draft in December. They were enticed by Workman's .280 batting average, 18 homers and 89 RBIs in 126 games last season at Double-A for the Detroit Tigers.
