Shipped to South Siders The Phillies traded Richards to the White Sox on Tuesday in exchange for cash, Matt Gelb of The Athletic reports.

Impact Richards was designated for assignment earlier Tuesday, but his move to Chicago will put him back on a 40-man roster. The 32-year-old right-hander has pitched well this season, allowing one earned run in 4.1 innings with Philadelphia and posting a 1.93 ERA and 0.57 WHIP over 14 frames in the minors. He'll likely take on a middle-relief role with the White Sox but could earn high-leverage opportunities if his performance holds.

Added to roster The Phillies selected Richards' contract from Triple-A Lehigh Valley on Thursday.

Impact Richards has been on a roll at Lehigh Valley, having collected a 1.93 ERA and 26:3 K:BB over his first 14 innings. The veteran righty is capable of handling multiple innings and is candidate for long relief work in the second game of Thursday's doubleheader versus the Giants.

Moved to minor-league camp The Phillies reassigned Richards to minor-league camp Saturday.

Impact Richards inked a minor-league contract with the Phillies in December but wasn't able to crack the Opening Day roster after posting a 3.38 ERA and 1.25 WHIP across eight innings in eight Grapefruit League games. He'll likely open the season in Triple-A but would be a candidate for a major-league call-up if the Phillies need an extra arm out of the bullpen.

Finds next chance Richards signed a minor-league contract with the Diamondbacks on Thursday.

Impact Richards was designated for assignment by the Royals on June 11, but it didn't take long for him to find a new opportunity. Arizona has struggled to find consistent results from its bullpen this season, so it's possible Richards gets a chance at some point in the coming months.
