The White Sox have signed left-hander Tyler Alexander to a Major League contract at the MLB minimum salary, placing Jared Shuster on the 15-day injured list due to a blister and moving Fraser Ellard to the 60-day IL. Alexander, recently designated for assignment by the Brewers after a 6.19 ERA in 21 appearances, will provide depth in Chicago’s bullpen, joining Brandon Eisert and Cam Booser, while Jonathan Cannon is also on the 15-day IL. Shuster struggled with an 8.04 ERA this season, reflecting similar challenges to Alexander’s performance.
