The White Sox announced a series of roster moves this morning, including that theyve activated left-hander from the 60-day injured list and designated him for a signment. In a separate move, the club selected the contract of left-hander . The club optioned right-hander to make room on the active roster. Chicagos 40- Toronto Blue Jays Jersey man roster stands at 39. Drohan, 25, joined the White Sox organization over the offseason when he was selected from the Red Sox in the Rule 5 draft. Chicago will have one week to either trade or waive Drohan, and if he clears waivers they must offer him back to Boston for $50K. If he lands with a new organization by trade or on waivers, Drohans Rule 5 obligations will carry over to that new club. Drohan underwent shoulder surgery back in February but began a rehab a signment on May 10. The 30-day window for Drohans rehab a signment ended today, meaning that he had to be activated from the IL and either placed on Chicagos active roster in compliance with Rule 5 restrictions or designated for a signment. The White Sox evidently chose to part ways with Drohan, and given his struggles during his rehab a signment its not hard to see why. In 9 1/3 innings of work over ten appearances spread acro s three levels of the minors, Drohan struggled to an 8.68 ERA with a 17.4% walk rate despite an excellent 32.6% strikeout rate. Those results worsened when he departed complex ball, as he yielded a 9.53 ERA with identical 20.7% strikeout and walk rates in seven appearances split between High-A and Triple-A. Even for a 17-48 club like Chicago, its difficult to justify dedicating an active roster spot to a player facing struggles that deep against minor league hitters. Prior to the aforementioned shoulder surgery, Drohan had the look of an interesting pitching prospect in the Red Sox organization. The lefty dominated Double-A pitching to the tune of a 1.32 ERA with a 28.1% strikeout rate acro s six starts last year before being promoted to the Triple-A level. Drohan hit a wall during his time at Triple-A, however, as he walked 14.9% of batters faced acro s his 21 appearances (19 starts) while yielding a 6.47 ERA in 89 innings of work. Those struggles were seemingly enough to convince Boston to leave Drohan off their 40-man roster this winter, although Chicago evidently believed that a move to short relief could help with Drohans control problems enough to make him a viable big leaguer. Should he wind up returning to Boston, its po sible the Red Sox will keep Drohan in his new short relief role or perhaps look to stretch him back out as a potential depth option for the big league club in the event he manages to sort out his control i sues. As for Peralta, the leftys contract was first selected to the clubs roster back in May of 2023. He performed decently in a middle relief role for the club last year, with a 4.05 ERA and 4.41 FIP in 20 innings of work. Peraltas 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 a signment to make room for right-hander on the 40-man roster. That led to him being claimed off waivers by the Mariners, who then designated Peralta themselves to make room for righty . The White Sox then claimed him off waivers from Seattle to return him to the organization, only to designate him for a third time in two months in order to make room for righty on 40-man roster. Peralta then finally cleared waivers and was outrighted to the minors in late May, but he spent le s than two weeks there before being selected back to the roster today. Peraltas rollercoaster first two months of the season have led him to a familiar role: that of a fill-in relief option who can pitch from the left side. The lefty struggled badly during his time in the Mariners organization but has 3 2/3 scorele s innings of work at the Triple-A level for the White Sox this year. Hell hope to take that succe s into the majors with him as he joins the clubs bullpen alongside fellow lefties , , and . As for Nastrini, the right-hander was a key component of the return for right-handers and after Chicago traded them to the Dodgers last summer. Nastrini has made six starts at the big league level so far this season and has generally struggled badly, with a 8.39 ERA and 7.92 FIP in just 24 2/3 innings of work. While he held the Red Sox to just one run over 4 1/3 innings last night, he walked five of the 19 batters he faced. That performance at the big league level has clearly indicated to the Sox that the 24-year-old needs more time in the minors before he can contribute on the south side on a more permanent basis.
