AL Central: White Sox claim Giovanni Soto off waivers

The Chicago White Sox have signed LHP Giovanni Soto off of waivers from the Athletics.

Soto has run the gambit of teams this year. He started 2016 on the Cleveland roster before being traded to the Cubs in early April to take injured Kyle Schwarber’s place. Despite being on the Cub’s 40-man, he didn’t see any game time action in Chicago. Fast forward to Schwarber’s return, Soto getting DFA’ed, being claimed by the A’s only to then get claimed by the White Sox, and here we are.

Soto has only pitched three innings in the big leagues while he was with Cleveland, so it’s hard to tell the impact he will have for the White Sox, if he has any.
