Mets’ Chris Beck: Claimed by Mets
Chris Beck was claimed off waivers by the New York Mets on Wednesday, Tim Healey of Newsday reports.Beck will fill a low-leverage role in the Mets’ bullpen after being designated for assignment by the White Sox on Saturday. The 27-year-old’s ERA sits at a respectable 4.18 after falling north of 6.00 in each of his first three big-league seasons, though his 6.02 FIP indicates that he isn’t really pitching any better. His 14.7 percent career strikeout rate and 12.0 percent career walk rate don’t give much reason for optimism. A corresponding move has not yet been announced.

White Sox’s Chris Beck: Contract purchased Monday
Chris Beck had his contract purchased from Triple-A Charlotte on Monday.With Miguel Gonzalez (shoulder) landing on the disabled list Monday, Beck was promoted to the big club to provide an additional arm capable of pitching multiple innings out of the bullpen. The 27-year-old owns a solid 2.00 ERA and 13:3 K:BB across four appearances — including a pair of starts — with Charlotte this season, so he could be an option to make a spot start while Gonzalez is sidelined. That said, his 6.40 ERA across 90 major-league innings over the previous two seasons should keep expectations in check if he does get a turn in the rotation. Danny Farquhar (head) was shifted to the 60-day disabled list in a corresponding move to clear a spot on the team’s 40-man roster for Beck.

White Sox’s Chris Beck: Returns to minor-league camp
The Chicago White Sox reassigned Chris Beck to minor league camp Friday.Beck’s struggles continued in spring training as he carried an 8.59 ERA and 2.18 WHIP over 7.1 innings. The 27-year-old had a disastrous 2017 campaign with a 6.40 ERA, 1.65 WHIP and 42:34 K:BB across 64.2 innings for the White Sox, making it difficult to see another extended major-league opportunity in his near future.

White Sox’s Chris Beck: Loses 40-man spot
Chris Beck was outrighted off the Chicago White Sox’s 40-man roster Monday, Scott Merkin of MLB.com reports.The White Sox needed to clear a couple spots for promising young prospects ahead of the Rule 5 draft, and Beck was one of the roster casualties. It’s hardly a surprise as Beck struggled to a 6.40 ERA and 1.66 WHIP in 64.2 innings out of the Chicago bullpen in 2017, and the peripherals suggest things could have been even worse (6.84 FIP, 2.7 percent K-BB%). He throws pretty hard, but Beck may not make 50-plus appearances for a big-league team ever again after his showing this past season.

White Sox’s Chris Beck: Won’t miss time with bruised shoulder
Chris Beck (shoulder) is healthy and available for Friday’s game against Texas, Daryl Van Schouwen of the Chicago Sun-Times reports.One day after a ball up the middle hit him in the shoulder and forced him to leave the game, Beck’s bruising is down enough that it shouldn’t cause him to miss any time. The bigger concern for Beck is his play of late, as he’s given up 14 earned runs and four home runs over his last 9.0 innings.
