Angels' Corey Knebel: Latches on with Halos
Corey Knebel agreed to a minor-league contract with the Los Angeles Angels on Tuesday, Jeff Fletcher of The Orange County Register reports.Knebel was released by the White Sox at the beginning of the month, and he'll now get a chance to carve out a role for himself in the Angels organization. After completing his recovery from shoulder surgery, 32-year-old righty made his season debut in the rookie-level Arizona Complex League on June 18 before eventually moving up to the Triple-A level shortly before the All-Star break. Over his six outings with Triple-A Charlotte, Knebel tossed 5.1 scoreless frames while striking out eight and walking two. If he's able to remain effective with his new organization at Triple-A Salt Lake, Knebel may be called upon to pitch in the majors for the first time since August 2022.

Corey Knebel (shoulder) began a rehab assignment with High-A Winston-Salem on Friday, Scott Merkin of MLB.com reports.Knebel has been held out of action since tearing his right shoulder capsule in August of 2022. He made three appearances in the Arizonal Complex League, throwing 3.1 scoreless innings, and he'll now test his shoulder against some tougher competition.

White Sox's Corey Knebel: Invited to White Sox camp
Corey Knebel signed a minor-league contract with the Chicago White Sox on Tuesday that includes an invitation to spring training.Knebel hasn't pitched anywhere since suffering a right shoulder capsule tear in August of 2022. He's apparently healthy now, though, so the White Sox will see what he has in spring training. When we last saw the 32-year-old, he collected a 3.43 ERA and 41:28 K:BB over 44.2 innings while notching 12 saves with the Phillies in 2022. Given the state of Chicago's bullpen, it wouldn't be that shocking if Knebel makes the team and pitches in high-leverage situations, provided he is able to rediscover his pre-surgery form.
