Drury, 32, has played for seven big league teams over 10 seasons and spent the last two with the Los Angeles Angels. The infielder/outfielder had 26 homers and 83 RBIs in 2023 before enduring a rough season last year when he batted .169 with four homers and 15 RBIs in 97 games.
Drury smacked a career-high 28 homers in 2022 when he split the season with the Cincinnati Reds (20 homers) and San Diego Padres (eight).
Overall, Drury has a .245 average, 109 homers and 375 RBIs in 867 games.
Chicago also signed infielder Tristan Gray to a minor-league deal. Gray, 28, batted .152 with one homer and one RBI in 17 games over the past two seasons with the Tampa Bay Rays (2023), Miami Marlins (2024) and Oakland Athletics (2024).
Also on Friday, the White Sox claimed left-hander Brandon Eisert off waivers from Tampa Bay and designated right-hander Steven Wilson for assignment.
