The Chicago White Sox completed a transaction on Friday, but it wasn’t a big transaction. The Sox added to its lacking outfield depth by claiming Rymer Liriano off waivers from the Milwaukee Brewers. Liriano hasn’t played since Spring Training when he was hit in the face by a pitch.
Liriano was regarded as a top prospect in the San Diego Padres farm system at one point, but was traded to the Brewers last offseason. In 2015, Liriano hit .292 with 14 home runs and 64 RBI’s for Triple-A El Paso Chihuahuas.
The 25 year-old outfielder has briefly played in the majors as recently as 2014 with the Padres.
