White Sox Add Veteran Arm With High Swing-and-Miss Potential To Bullpen

The Chicago White Sox added an intriguing arm to the mix on Tuesday, acquiring right-hander Trevor Richards from the Philadelphia Phillies in exchange for cash considerations. 

In a corresponding move, the White Sox placed Drew Thorpe on the 60-day injured list. The designation comes as little surprise after he underwent Tommy John surgery last season. Because the move is retroactive to the start of the year, a return before the end of the season remains possible, though the team has not provided a timeline.
