In exchange, the White Sox acquired minor league pitcher Anthony Hoopii-Tuionetoa from the Rangers. He is 1-0 this season with a 0.00 ERA and an 0.89 WHIP, with 16 strikeouts in 12 appearances at Double-A Frisco.
He will report to Double-A Birmingham, the team said.
To fill Grossman’s spot on the 40-man roster infielder Zach Remillard’s contract was selected from Triple-A Charlotte. The White Sox designated Remillard for assignment earlier this year, outrighting him to Charlotte. He has four RBI’s in 70 at-bats, slashing .114/.192/.157 with the Knights.
