White Sox Claim Two Pitchers Hudson, Peguero Off Brewers Waivers

The Chicago White Sox claimed pitchers Bryan Hudson and Elvis Peguero off waivers from the Milwaukee Brewers, with both players optioned to Triple-A Charlotte. This move continues a pattern of player exchanges between the two teams, including a June trade sending Andrew Vaughn to Milwaukee for Aaron Civale, and several former Brewers playing for Chicago this season. Hudson, a 26-year-old left-hander with experience in the majors and Triple-A, is expected to try to regain his strong 2024 form with the White Sox. Peguero, a 26-year-old right-hander, has spent much of the season in Triple-A but will now join Chicago's bullpen depth. To accommodate these additions, the White Sox designated pitcher Jesse Scholtens for assignment. Meanwhile, the White Sox also recently traded Adrian Houser to the Tampa Bay Rays for prospects including third baseman Curtis Mead, who was recalled to replace injured infielder Miguel Vargas on the roster.
