Wise (hamstring) was granted his unconditional release by the White Sox on Saturday, the Chicago Tribune reports.
ANALYSIS
Wise had been in the midst of a lengthy rehab assignment with Triple-A Charlotte, and it evidently became apparent to him that the club wasn't anxious to make a roster move to bring him back from the DL. He could get a look elsewhere as a fourth or fifth outfielder.

Past Fantasy Outlooks
2013
2010
2009
2005
2003
Wise struggled to find playing time over the first half of the season as a reserve outfielder for the Yankees, but he had something of a resurgence upon joining the White Sox. He hit five home runs over his first 25 starts with the White Sox as a fill-in for hindered outfielders, but he came back to earth with a .493 OPS over his final 18 games. The White Sox re-signed him for another year at less than $1 million, so he should fill a reserve outfielder role to start 2013 while earning his paycheck primarily as a late-inning defensive replacement.
Wise will live on forever in Chicago sports lore as the man who saved Mark Buehrle’s perfect game. Unfortunately, he was pretty awful at the plate, hitting .225/.262/.366 in his 142 at-bats. His ceiling is a reserve defense/first outfielder, and he'll compete for a bench spot with the Phillies during spring training.
Wise rode a hot couple of months at Triple-A to regular playing time in the AL Division Series. It was an indictment of the Sox outfield, as well as the team's opinion of Nick Swisher, that he played as much as he did. Wise is a marginal extra outfielder -- last year included, he has a career .310 OBP in the minors.
Wise actually saw a significant amount of major league action in 2004, playing in 77 games. Due to his lack of production, the Braves released him at the end of the season, whereupon the Tigers claimed him off waivers.
Reserve outfielder who will see his at-bats dwindle now that Jayson Werth is around.
