White Sox's Kodi Medeiros: Joins 40-man roster

Medeiros had his contract purchased from Double-A Birmingham on Tuesday.

The White Sox added Medeiros -- a first-round pick in 2014 -- to their 40-man roster in order to protect the southpaw ahead of the Rule 5 draft. Medeiros was acquired from the Brewers in exchange for Joakim Soria in July and notched a combined 3.60 ERA, 1.37 WHIP and 9.2 K/9 across 137.2 innings between Birmingham and Double-A Biloxi.
