Has UCL sprain, done for season The White Sox diagnosed Leone with a UCL sprain in his right elbow and placed him on the 60-day injured list Friday.

Impact Leone was lifted from Wednesday's game with soreness in his right elbow and further testing revealed he suffered a UCL sprain.

The 32-year-old appeared in 23 games for Chicago, logging a 6.63 ERA and a 17:14 K:BB across 19.0 innings. Matt Foster (elbow) was reinstated from the 60-day injured list in a corresponding move.

He'll head in for further evaluation Thursday, at which point the White Sox will have a better idea of how long the 32-year-old will be sidelined.

Goes to Mariners in waiver claim Leone was claimed off waivers by the Mariners on Thursday, Ryan Divish of The Seattle Times reports.

Impact Leone holds a 4.74 ERA and 44:20 K:BB across 43.2 innings of relief work for the Mets and Angels this season. It's a homecoming of sorts for Leone, who came up in the Mariners system and debuted for them back in 2014. He will be used in middle relief for the American League West leaders.

Waived by Halos The Angels placed Leone on waivers Tuesday, Bob Nightengale of USA Today reports.
