Maybe a third team will be the charm for a pitcher who was once one of MLB's top prospects.
The White Sox designated pitcher Michael Ynoa for assignment on Thursday afternoon, becoming the second team that has parted ways with the once promising prospect.
Ynoa, 25, had a 5.90 ERA and 1.724 WHIP with 22 walks in 29 innings with the White Sox this season.

In two seasons with the White Sox, Ynoa had a 2-0 record with a 4.42 ERA and 1.475 WHIP. Ynoa was acquired by the White Sox in 2014 along with Jeff Samardzija from the Oakland Athletics for Marcus Semien, Josh Phegley, Chris Bassitt and Rangel Ravelo.
Ynoa originally signed with the A's in 2008 for a then-record $4.25 million. He was ranked by Baseball Prospectus as the No. 20 prospect in 2009.
In a corresponding roster move, the White Sox reinstated closer David Robertson from the paternity list.
