Chicago White Sox trade .295 hitter to Tampa Bay Rays for pitching depth
The Chicago White Sox are 25-23 on the season following their 2-1 comeback victory over the Seattle Mariners on Tuesday night. While many fans were frustrated by the lack of offense for most of the night, White Sox pitchers kept the team in the game by keeping the Mariners limited at the plate.
That was a pleasant surprise for Chicago, who have not had the best luck in regard to their pitching staff this year. Opening Day starter Shane Smith was demoted to the minors earlier this year and is now dealing with an injury. What is more, the rest of the pitching staff, outside of a handful of hurlers, have been inconsistent this year.
With the White Sox suddenly a contender in the American Leauge, the organization is trying to set itself up for future success. Part of that process is solidifying its organizational pitching depth.
Chicago White Sox trade Oliver Dunn for Joe Rock
On Tuesday, it was announced that the White Sox have traded minor league infielder Oliver Dunn to the Tampa Bay Rays for pitcher Joe Rock:

— Marc Topkin (@TBTimes_Rays) May 20, 2026
Dunn was hitting .295/.393/.545 with nine home runs, 34 RBI, and nine stolen bases at Triple-A Charlotte. In 55 Major League games with the Milwaukee Brewers, he his a career .206/.260/.291 hitter.
Rock, a left-handed pitcher, appeared in three Major League games for the Rays last year and posted a 2.35 ERA. This year, pitching in Triple-A Durham, he is 1-1 with a 5.40 ERA in 13 appearances.
In six minor league seasons, the 25-year-old southpaw is 20-34 with a 4.75 ERA.
Dunn’s path back to the Majors, of course, was blocked by the presences of Miguel Vargas and Colson Montgomery on the left side of the infield in Chicago.
