The Chicago White Sox acquired left-hander Joe Rock in a trade with Tampa Bay on Tuesday, sending infielder Oliver Dunn to the Rays in the deal.

The White Sox assigned Rock to Triple-A Charlotte upon the transaction's completion. They also moved catcher Kyle Teel, who has a sprained right knee ligament, to the 60-day injured list to make room for Rock on the 40-man roster.

Rock, 25, made his major league debut last June, posting a 2.35 ERA over seven innings across three relief appearances for the Rays. He was 1-1 with one save and a 5.40 ERA over 13 games this season for Triple-A Durham.

Dunn, 28, appeared in 55 games for the Milwaukee Brewers across the 2024 and '25 seasons, hitting .206 with a homer and 13 RBIs. He batted .296 with eight homers and 33 RBIs in 40 games for the Triple-A Charlotte in the White Sox's organization this season.
