Turley spent the entire 2021 campaign at Triple-A Charlotte in the White Sox' minor-league system, recording five saves to go along with a respectable 5.02 ERA, 1.14 WHIP and 60/21 K/BB ratio across 43 innings (43 appearances). The 32-year-old left-hander made 25 relief appearances with the Pirates during the pandemic-shortened 2020 campaign.

Turley spent the entire 2021 campaign at Triple-A Charlotte, recording five saves to go along with a serviceable 5.02 ERA, 1.14 WHIP and 60/21 K/BB ratio across 43 innings (43 appearances). The 32-year-old lefty made 25 relief appearances with the Pirates during the pandemic-shortened 2020 season. He should be able to land another minor-league deal this offseason.

Turley was designated for assignment earlier this week and ultimately passed through waivers unclaimed. The 31-year-old lefty holds a career 7.78 ERA in 39 1/3 innings at the major league level.

The move clears a spot on the 40-man roster and makes room for José Ruiz as the final member of Chicago's bullpen to begin the year. Turley, 31, was claimed off waivers from the Athletics this month after posting a 4.98 ERA over 25 relief appearances with the Pirates last season. Now his journey around the league could continue.
