Jacob Turner: Non-tendered by White Sox

The White Sox declined to tender Turner a contract for 2016, Mark Gonzales of the Chicago Tribune reports.

Turner was brought in on a waiver claim in late October, but the White Sox ultimately decided the right-hander was too much of a risk given his persistent elbow troubles. The ninth overall pick in 2009, he has a 4.97 ERA and 1.47 WHIP in 298.2 career innings at the major league level.
