Ben Cowles was drafted by the New York Yankees in the 10th round of the 2021 MLB Draft and set a Hudson Valley Renegades franchise record in 2023 for consecutive games reaching base safely. The Yankees traded him to the Chicago Cubs on July 30, 2024, where lingering effects from being hit by a pitch limited him to four games and led to a 2025 option to Triple-A. After being designated for assignment, the Chicago White Sox claimed Cowles off waivers, added him to their 40-man roster and optioned him to Triple-A Charlotte. Cowles retains two minor-league option seasons while the White Sox evaluate their infield depth.
Cowles would then learn he would be designated for assignment this past Monday. According to 670 The Score's Bruce Levine, the Chicago White Sox have now claimed the infielder off waivers. Cowles has been optioned to Triple-A Charlotte, and he has been added to the club's 40-man roster. This roster now sits at 39, via Sports Illustrated's Jack Ankony. Ben Cowles joins an intriguing list of White Sox infielders
You cannot mention the White Sox without speaking about how great Colson Montgomery has looked this year. He has been hitting home runs at an excellent clip since being called up and making his MLB debut. They also have Lenyn Sosa having a breakout season this year. Playing in 21 more games this season than he ever has, he has already doubled his season-high home run total.
