The Chicago White Sox acquired left-hander Tyler Gilbert from the Philadelphia Phillies on Wednesday.
In exchange, the Phillies received right-handed prospect Aaron Combs.
Gilbert, 31, pitched in six games for the Phillies in 2024 after being acquired from the Cincinnati Reds on May 7 for cash considerations. He had no decisions and a 3.24 ERA in 8 1/3 innings of relief.
Gilbert is 2-7 with a 4.23 ERA in 34 career appearances (13 starts) with the Arizona Diamondbacks (2021-23) and Philadelphia.
Combs, 23, was drafted in the eighth round by the White Sox in 2024. He went 2-0 with no earned runs allowed in 7 2/3 innings for Class A Kannapolis last season.
To make room on the 40-man roster, Chicago designated infielder Braden Shewmake for assignment.
Shewmake, 27, is a career .125 hitter with one homer, four RBIs and five stolen bases in 31 games with the Atlanta Braves (2023) and White Sox (2024).
