The Chicago White Sox have quietly parted ways with veteran infielder and former Silver Slugger winner Brandon Drury, releasing him from his minor league contract. This marks the second time in 2025 that the team has cut ties with the 32-year-old.
Drury initially joined the White Sox on a minor league deal ahead of spring training, aiming to secure a spot on the major league roster. He impressed during the Cactus League, batting .410 over 13 games. However, a broken left thumb in the final days of camp derailed those plans, leading to his release. The White Sox re-signed him in mid-April once he recovered, but he was placed on the injured list again on May 8 due to a wrist issue.
Drury’s tenure with the White Sox concludes without an appearance in the major leagues for the team. His recent injury setbacks have hindered his ability to contribute, and the team has decided to move on. Drury, who had a standout season in 2022, winning a Silver Slugger award, now enters free agency, seeking a new opportunity to revitalize his career.
