Mon Sep 23 21:08:29 UTC 2024: ## White Sox Acquire Yankees Reliever Ron Marinaccio

**CHICAGO, IL** – The Chicago White Sox have added depth to their pitching staff, claiming right-handed reliever Ron Marinaccio off waivers from the New York Yankees on Monday. Marinaccio, 29, will be joining the Double-A Birmingham Barons, who are currently battling the Tampa Bay Montgomery Biscuits in the Southern League Championship Series.

Marinaccio spent the last three seasons with the Yankees, compiling a 6-5 record with a 3.22 ERA in 101 relief appearances. This season, he pitched to a 1-3 record with a 2.04 ERA and 8 saves for the Yankees’ Triple-A affiliate, the Scranton/Wilkes-Barre RailRiders.

While the White Sox’s Triple-A affiliate, the Charlotte Knights, have finished their season, Marinaccio’s arrival provides a boost to the Barons, who currently lead the Southern League Championship Series 1-0. The series resumes Tuesday night.

This move suggests the White Sox are looking to bolster their pitching depth for the upcoming season, potentially giving Marinaccio a chance to compete for a spot on the major league roster.
