The Chicago White Sox acquired reliever Huascar Brazoban from the New York Mets on Monday in exchange for two minor league pitchers.

The White Sox, who entered Monday with a three-game lead in the American League Central, bolstered their bullpen as the cellar-dwelling Mets continued to stockpile prospects.

Brazoban, 36, is 5-2 with a 2.56 ERA in 46 games (six starts) this season. The right-hander has struck out 49 batters and walked 23 through 52 2/3 innings.

Since debuting with Miami in 2022, Brazoban is 17-10 with two saves and a 3.49 ERA in 214 career games (nine starts) with the Marlins (2022-24) and Mets (2024-26).

Right-handers Gabe Davis and Zach Franklin headed to New York ahead of Monday's trade deadline.

Davis, 22, is 0-5 with a 5.81 ERA in 18 starts this season between High-A Winston-Salem and Double-A Birmingham.

Franklin, 27, is 2-2 with five saves and a 4.37 ERA in 33 appearances (one start) for Triple-A Charlotte.
