The Chicago White Sox have acquired Anthony Ranaudo from the Texas Rangers just days after the right-hander walked five batters in one inning.

Texas received Minor League pitching prospect Matt Ball in the deal. He was assigned to Class A Hickory.

Chicago is sending Ranaudo to Triple-A Charlotte.

Ranaudo, 26, is 5-4 with a 6.33 ERA in 13 career appearances, including nine starts, with Boston and Texas.
