The White Sox announced Wednesday that theyve designated right-hander for a signment and optioned infielder to Triple-A Charlotte. Their roster spots will go to righty and lefty , whove both been recalled from Charlotte. Honeywell, 28, was claimed off waivers from the Padres on Aug. 5 after being designated for a signment in the aftermath of an active deadline in San Diego. Hes since appeared in four games with the Sox, tallying 5 2/3 innings but allowing seven Baltimore Orioles Jersey runs on nine hits and three walks with three strikeouts. The former top prospect is out of minor league options, so the Sox opted to designate him for a signment rather than continue to hold out hope for better results. Once regarded as one of baseballs most promising minor leaguers, Honeywell has seen his career derailed by a staggering four elbow surgeries all coming before he turned 28 years old. The former Rays second-rounder was eventually traded to the As, for whom he never pitched, before being non-tendered this past offseason. The Padres signed Honeywell to a big league deal in hopes of capitalizing on his once lofty prospect status. To some extent, the move panned out. Honeywell pitched 46 2/3 innings for the Friars and logged a respectable, if unspectacular 4.05 ERA. That number came in spite of sub-par strikeout and walk rates of 20.6% and 9.8%, however, and Honeywell also served up an average of 1.54 homers per nine innings in San Diego. Fielding-independent metrics cast a le s-favorable light on his performance (5.24 FIP, 4.35 SIERA). Things clearly havent gone any better in Chicago, and with the trade deadline behind us, Honeywell will be placed on outright waivers or release waivers in the near future. Honeywell didnt pitch at all from 2018-20, to sed 86 innings in 2021 and pitched just 20 1/3 innings during the 2022 season. Between the 28 innings he to sed in winter ball over the offseason and the 52 1/3 frames hes thrown this year, hes already well north of last years workload and approaching the volume he hit in 2021. Honeywells career-high innings pitched came back in 2017, when he to sed 136 2/3 innings between Double-A and Triple-A in the Rays system. Jim Palmer Jersey
