White Sox Designate Drew Anderson

By Mark Polishuk | August 9, 2020 at 11:06am CDT

The White Sox designated righty Drew Anderson for assignment, as per a team announcement.  Jose Ruiz, another right-hander, has been called up from the alternate training site to take Anderson’s roster spot.

Anderson signed a minor league deal with Chicago during the offseason and only had his contract selected prior to Saturday’s game.  Unfortunately for Anderson, his 2020 debut was a nightmare — two home runs and six total earned runs allowed over 1 1/3 innings against the Indians.  It will make for a pretty ignominious White Sox tenure if Anderson is claimed or released, though he could also simply be outrighted back to the minor league camp if he passes through the DFA period.  The 26-year-old appeared in parts of the 2017-19 seasons with the Phillies, posting a 7.71 ERA over 21 innings.

Ruiz has had a similarly brief three-year tenure in the majors, though 40 of his 45 1/3 career innings from 2017-19 came last season with the White Sox.  Ruiz posted a 5.63 ERA, 1.46 K/BB rate, and 7.9 K/9 over those 40 frames.  Pitching exclusively as a reliever over 135 career minor league innings with the Padres and White Sox, the hard-throwing Ruiz has a 3.67 ERA, 10.1 K/9, and 2.48 K/BB rate.

      How could they cut him though? When he came into the game, the Sox announcers thought he’d dominate the Indians.
      And was it the great movement on his pitches, or is Grandal one of the worst receivers in all of baseball? How did Grandal miss 2 pitches to the same batter, both with runners on third.

        Man, I wish I had the time to watch all the games of the teams I hate.
        Of course, if I did, I would deffinitely not spend it watching all the games of the teams I hate.

        Your comment makes no sense, not just due to your normal bad logic of the game. I mean it looks like you’re posting on the wrong article.

        Did someone delete their post as you responded to it? Or are there posts that you see that I can’t? That actually happened on one of the sites a while back, as funny as that sounds (I don’t think it was MLBTR, though).

        As much as I dread reading your normal drivel, I’m actually curious to see the reasoning behind your comment. I know, be careful what I ask for.

        On second thought, the less we see you on here, the better. Ignore this post. It will be easier that way.

      An innings eater might be more valuable than expected this season. The Cubs would much rather have him than Dylan Cease right now.

    Hope Basabe doesn’t turn out to be a another young Sosa (with or without chemical assistance).
