White Sox Claim Sammy Peralta Off Waivers From Mariners

By Nick Deeds | May 26, 2024 at 1:06pm CDT

The White Sox announced this afternoon that they’ve claimed left-hander Sammy Peralta off waivers from the Mariners and optioned him to Triple-A. The White Sox had an open space on their 40-man roster, so no corresponding move was necessary to bring Peralta into the fold.

Peralta, 26, returns to the south side of Chicago just a few weeks after being claimed off waivers from the club by Seattle. An 18th-round pick by the White Sox in the 2019 draft, Peralta ascended the minor league ladder to arrive in the big leagues with the club in 2023. In 16 appearances with the big league White Sox last year, the lefty pitched to a solid 4.05 ERA with a 4.41 FIP in 20 innings of work. While he struck out a decent 20% of batters faced during his time in the big leagues, control was a problem for the lefty as he surrendered free passes to 12.2% of his opponents. In 69 innings of work at the Triple-A level last year, Peralta managed to keep his walks to a minimum but had a problem with the home run ball, resulting in an ugly 5.09 ERA across his 29 appearances at the level that year.

Peralta’s lackluster minor league numbers and worrisome big league peripherals were enough to make him expendable for the White Sox as they sorted through their Opening Day roster crunch, and he was designated for assignment to make room for right-hander Jordan Leasure on the 40-man roster. That led the Mariners to claim him off waivers and stash him at the Triple-A level, but Peralta struggled to a 9.24 ERA in 12 appearances with the club and quickly found himself squeezed out of the organization in favor of righty Eduardo Salazar.

Fortunately for Peralta, the roster crunch in Chicago had lessened over the first two months of the season, and the club was able to add him back to their 40-man roster when the Mariners once again exposed him to the waiver wire. As such, he’s now set to return to his first MLB organization and act as optionable depth for the club capable of pitching multiple innings out of the bullpen alongside Prelander Berroa. Tim Hill, Tanner Banks, and Jared Shuster currently occupy the club’s bullpen as options from the left-hand side.

    Looks like he spent last season with the Sox too. Control issues.

    When you claim back a player you waived earlier, can you say the team is improving?

      Not improving but it’s hard to say the Sox can get worse

    The Sox seemingly do this crap all the time. I swear, they just don’t even bother scouting waiver wire pickups outside the AL Central.
