White Sox claim Brandon Eisert off waivers from Tampa Bay; designate Steven Wilson for assignment

CHICAGO ¨C The Chicago White Sox have claimed left-handed pitcher Brandon Eisert off waivers from the Tampa Bay Rays. To make room for Eisert on the 40-man roster, the White Sox designated right-hander Steven Wilson for assignment.

Eisert, 27, spent the majority of last season in the Toronto organization, going 4-2 with a 3.86 ERA (23 ER/53.2 IP) and 66 strikeouts (11.07 per 9.0 IP) over 42 appearances (four starts) with Class AAA Buffalo. He made his major-league debut with the Blue Jays on June 17 vs. Boston, tossing 2.0 scoreless IP, and posted a 4.05 ERA (3 ER/6.2 IP) in three relief outings overall.

The 6-foot-2, 205-pound Eisert was acquired by Tampa Bay from Toronto on January 23 in exchange for cash considerations. He originally was selected by the Blue Jays in the 18th round of the 2019 First-Year Player Draft.

Wilson, 26, went 1-6 with a 5.71 ERA (22 ER/34.2 IP) and 34 strikeouts over 40 appearances with the White Sox in 2024, his first with the club.

Following the waiver claim, the White Sox 40-man roster remains at 40.
