Duncan Davitt News: Shipped to Chicago

The White Sox acquired Davitt, infielder Curtis Mead and right-hander Ben Peoples from the Rays on Thursday in exchange for right-hander Adrian Houser, Marc Topkin of the Tampa Bay Times reports.

Davitt, 25, excelled at Double-A Montgomery (3.55 ERA, 1.08 WHIP) to start the season but he has struggled since getting to Triple-A Durham, logging a 6.30 ERA and 1.55 WHIP despite a tidy 24:6 K:BB in 20 innings. It's unclear how long the White Sox will keep developing him as a starter.
