Sent packing
Speas was optioned to Triple-A Charlotte by the White Sox on Monday, LaMond Pope of the Chicago Tribune reports.
Impact
Speas allowed three runs with a 3:6 K:BB over six innings this spring. Walks have always been an issue for the 26-year-old and they could prevent the 26-year-old from receiving high-leverage looks for the White Sox even as he has better stuff than most of their other relievers.

Claimed by White Sox
The White Sox claimed Speas off waivers from the Rangers on Tuesday.
Impact
Speas was designated for assignment by Texas on the second-to-last day of the regular season. He allowed three earned runs in just two major-league innings this year but posted a 2.86 ERA with 85 strikeouts in 56.2 innings between Double-A Frisco and Triple-A Round Rock.

Dropped from 40-man
The Rangers designated Speas for assignment Saturday.
Impact
After giving up three runs over two innings during a brief major-league stint in July, Speas was optioned to Triple-A Round Rock, and the selection of Matt Bush from the minors will now push Speas off the 40-man roster. Speas will likely go unclaimed off waivers and projects to begin next season in Triple-A.

Makes flashy debut
Speas struck out three over 1.2 hitless and scoreless innings to earn a hold in Wednesday's 5-1 win over Tampa Bay.
Impact
Speas, who was called up earlier in the day, made his MLB debut which included striking out All-Stars Wander Franco, Yandy Diaz and Randy Arozarena. The Rangers needed bullpen length due to Jon Gray being removed during the fifth inning after taking a comebacker off his leg.

Contract selected by Rangers
Speas had his contract selected from Triple-A Round Rock by the Rangers on Wednesday.
Impact
Speas will join the major-league roster for the first time in his career after being selected in the second round of the 2016 MLB Draft. The right-hander has produced a 2.35 ERA and 1.11 WHIP with 12 strikeouts over 7.2 innings in five appearances with Round Rock this season. In order to make a spot on the 40-man roster for Speas, left-hander Taylor Hearn was designated for assignment Wednesday.

Promoted to Triple-A
Speas was promoted Tuesday to Triple-A Round Rock, Evan Grant of the Dallas Morning News reports.
Impact
Speas earned the level bump after delivering a 0.64 ERA with 47 strikeouts across 28.1 innings this season at Double-A Frisco. He hadn't allowed a run there since May 21. The 25-year-old did not pitch professionally in 2022, instead opting to take a job as a high school baseball coach, but he reported to the minor-league side of Rangers camp this spring and is now just one step away from reaching the majors.
