Joe Rock traded to White Sox; optioned to Triple-A
Joe Rock has been traded from the Tampa Bay Rays to the Chicago White Sox in exchange for infielder Oliver Dunn. To make room for Rock on the 40-man roster, catcher Kyle Teel was transferred to the 60-day injured list.
Fantasy Impact
Rock appeared in 13 games at Triple-A Durham this season and pitched to a 5.40 ERA and a 1.93 WHIP with 17 walks and 27 strikeouts in 15 innings. He made his major league debut with the Rays last season, appearing in three games and posting a 2.35 ERA with an 11:2 K:BB ratio in 7.2 innings. Rock, who has already been optioned to Triple-A Charlotte, will provide bullpen depth within the White Sox organization and could make his way on to the big league roster at some point this summer.
