White Sox's Yacksel Rios: Joins White Sox on minors deal
Rios signed a minor-league contract with the White Sox on Friday.
Rios has generally failed to impress across parts of five major-league seasons, struggling to a 5.77 ERA in 96.2 innings. His decent 4.28 ERA in 2021 was his best mark yet, but it came in just 27.1 innings and wasn't supported by his peripherals, as he struck out just 20.2 percent of opposing batters while walking 14.0 percent. He's unlikely to see anything more than low-leverage opportunities if he finds his way onto the roster in 2022.
