Flipped to White Sox The White Sox acquired Peters from the Rays on Thursday in exchange for a player to be named later or cash considerations.

Impact Peters had been designated for assignment earlier this week and now joins a new organization. The 25-year-old outfielder went hitless during his brief time with the Rays in 2025 and slashed .266/.355/.429 at Triple-A Durham. Peters can play all three outfield spots and will likely compete for a reserve role with the White Sox.

Back in majors The Rays recalled Peters from Triple-A Durham on Tuesday.

Impact The 25-year-old was sent down to Triple-A on Monday, but he'll reverse course and rejoin the Rays with Taylor Walls (groin) moving to the injured list.
