White Sox Trade for Pitcher Tyler Gilbert

The Chicago White Sox have acquired left-handed pitcher Tyler Gilbert from the Philadelphia Phillies in exchange for minor league right-hander Aaron Combs. Gilbert was designated for assignment by the Phillies after they acquired Jesús Luzardo and pitched six games for them in 2024 with a 3.24 ERA. Over his career, Gilbert has a 4.23 ERA in 34 major league games and previously threw a no-hitter with the Arizona Diamondbacks in 2021. To accommodate Gilbert on the roster, the White Sox designated infielder Braden Shewmake, who batted .125 in 29 games last season, for assignment. Combs, drafted by the White Sox in 2024, posted a 0.00 ERA in six appearances at Class A Kannapolis.
