Cory Abbott Fantasy Stats

The Chicago White Sox have signed pitcher Cory Abbott to a minor-league deal. The 28-year-old was recently released by the Seattle Mariners after failing to make the 40-man roster. Abbott is a former second-round pick of the Chicago Cubs, but never fully reached his potential. He made 22 appearances with the Washington Nationals last season but posted a 6.64 ERA during that time. He's expected to head to Triple-A Charlotte and provide additional depth for the organization.

The San Francisco Giants acquired right-hander Cory Abbott from the Chicago Cubs on Thursday in exchange for cash considerations, according to sources. The Cubs had designated Abbott for assignment on Saturday, but he will now continue his career with San Francisco. The 26-year-old will likely start his Giants career with Triple-A Sacramento after allowing three runs and four hits while walking two and striking out six in six innings over two starts for Triple-A Iowa to begin his 2022 campaign. Abbott made his big-league debut last year with the Cubs, posting a 6.75 ERA and 1.79 WHIP with 11 walks and 12 strikeouts in 17 1/3 innings pitched over seven outings (one start).
