Jake Woodford: Elects free agency

Woodford rejected the White Sox's outright assignment to Triple-A Charlotte and elected to become a free agent Sunday, Vinnie Duber of AllCHGO.com reports.

The right-hander was recently designated for assignment and won't stick with Chicago after he passed through waivers unclaimed. Woodford posted a 5.26 ERA in 10 starts at Triple-A and allowed 10 earned runs with a 7:5 K:BB over 8.1 innings during his brief stay on the big-league roster.
