Naquin was released by the White Sox on Tuesday.
This move clears out a 40-man roster spot for Alex Speas, who has been claimed off waivers from the Rangers. Naquin, 32, went 0-for-8 with seven strikeouts during his short stay with the White Sox between Sept. 26 and Oct. 1.

Rotowire
The White Sox selected Naquin's contract from Triple-A Charlotte on Tuesday, Vinnie Duber of AllCHGO.com reports.

Rotowire
Naquin is headed to Chicago to join the White Sox's active roster, Daryl Van Schouwen of the Chicago Sun-Times reports.
As Van Schouwen notes, Naquin's addition to the roster would seem to point to a stint on the injured list for Luis Robert (knee). Naquin was acquired from the Brewers in early August and has spent all of the 2023 season at the Triple-A level, posting a .725 OPS with nine homers and three steals in 68 contests.

Naquin has spent all of 2023 at Triple-A Nashville, posting a .766 OPS with six home runs in 40 games. The veteran outfielder will report to Triple-A Charlotte with his new organization but could be an option to join the White Sox at some point during the final two months of the season.

Brewers' Tyler Naquin: Returns to action at Triple-A
Rotowire
Naquin (shoulder) was activated from Triple-A Nashville's 7-day injured list Tuesday and went 3-for-4 with two stolen bases and a run scored in his return to the lineup for the Sounds' 8-3 win over Omaha.
Naquin was sidelined for a little over a week due to the bruised shoulder but looked plenty healthy in his return to the lineup. With Garrett Mitchell (shoulder) recently joining Tyrone Taylor (elbow) on the Brewers' 10-day IL and with Triple-A teammate Sal Frelick (thumb) likely out for the next 6-to-8 weeks, Naquin could be next in line for a promotion if Milwaukee needs another outfielder.

Brewers' Tyler Naquin: Shelved at Triple-A
Rotowire
Triple-A Nashville placed Naquin on its 7-day injured list Thursday with a bruised shoulder, Adam McCalvy of MLB.com reports.
Naquin's injury sounds like a relatively minor concern, but his absence looms larger than normal with the Brewers' outfield depth being tested at both the MLB and Triple-A level. Garrett Mitchell recently joined Tyrone Taylor (elbow) on the 10-day IL with what could be a season-ending shoulder injury, while top prospect Sal Frelick (thumb) resides on Nashville's 7-day IL along with Naquin. The injuries to Frelick and Naquin explain why both were bypassed for a promotion to the big club in favor of Blake Perkins when Mitchell hit the shelf Wednesday.

Brewers' Tyler Naquin: Does not make roster
Rotowire
Naquin was informed Friday that he will not be part of the Opening Day roster in Milwaukee, Adam McCalvy of MLB.com reports.
Naquin will now have the choice of opting out of his minor-league contract with the Brewers or accepting a role at Triple-A Nashville. The 31-year-old slashed just .207/.294/.276 over 34 plate appearances this spring in the Cactus League, but he does have a track record of being a fairly productive major-league outfielder.

Brewers' Tyler Naquin: Scratch was precautionary
Rotowire
Brewers manager Craig Counsell said that Naquin's scratch from Saturday's Cactus League game due to shoulder discomfort was precautionary, Adam McCalvy of MLB.com reports.
Naquin was scratched with a sore shoulder shortly before their game against the Giants. "It's just a Spring Training precautionary thing," Counsell said. "His shoulder is bugging him a little bit so we gave him a day." Naquin may not be back in the lineup Sunday if he's still bothered by the shoulder, but this does not appear to be an injury that will carry into the regular season.
