White Sox's Evan Marshall: Contract purchased by White Sox

Marshall's contract was purchased by the White Sox on Wednesday.

Marshall has thrown 92.2 major-league innings over parts of five seasons, posting a 5.15 ERA but a considerably better 4.00 FIP. Neither his 19.5 percent strikeout rate nor his 9.2 percent walk rate is particularly good, but he does generate groundballs at a high rate (55.9 percent). Thyago Vieira was optioned to Triple-A Charlotte in a corresponding move.
