Murfee was claimed off waivers from the Astros back in November. He hasn’t pitched any MLB innings since 2023 due to undergoing Tommy John surgery, but the White Sox will hope they can get some healthy innings out of him in 2025.

Murfee hasn’t pitched in the big leagues since the 2023 season after suffering a setback over the summer in his recovery from last year’s Tommy John surgery. The 30-year-old righty represents a worthwhile gamble for the rebuilding White Sox, especially if he comes back healthy and they can flip him to a contending team at some point down the road.

Murfee appears highly unlikely to return this season after suffering a setback in his recovery from last summer’s Tommy John surgery.

Murfee was claimed off waivers last month from the Braves and isn’t expected to be ready to contribute until around midseason after undergoing Tommy John surgery last June. The procedural move clears a spot on Houston’s 40-man roster.
