Corey Knebel's return to Major League Baseball faces another setback as he is released by the Chicago White Sox on Thursday, adding a new chapter to his ongoing comeback journey.
Chicago White SoxAccording to MLB.com's transactions page, Knebel elected free agency, which implies that the former Los Angeles Dodgers right-hander exercised an opt-out clause in the minor league contract he signed last winter.
“Yeah, I mean, the surgery, it’s whatever. I guess there’s timetables on it. You can never really go off of it,” Knebel told MLB.com in early March. “Just take it day by day and don’t try to do too much overdo it. Obviously, sometimes it will work out. Sometimes, it won’t. I’m just trying not to get ahead of myself.
His rehab started with Chicago's rookie league affiliate before being promoted to the White Sox's High-A affiliate, the Winston-Salem Dash. He moved through the ranks until eventually ending up with Triple-A Charlotte, where he threw 5.1 innings of shutout baseball with eight strikeouts over six appearances.
Despite being perfect with a 0.00 earned run average, the Chicago White Sox seem to be heading in a younger direction.
