ST. PETERSBURG, Fla. — The White Sox acquired minor-league right-hander Anthony Hoopii-Tuionetoa from the Texas Rangers in exchange for outfielder Robbie Grossman Wednesday.

To fill Grossman's spot on the roster, the Sox selected the contract of infielder Zach Remillard from Triple-A Charlotte.

Hoopii-Tuionetoa, 23, is 1-0 with a 0.00 ERA in 12 1/3 innings with Double-A Frisco this season. He owns a 0.89 ERA with one save while striking out 16 batters. He was assigned to Double-A Birmingham.

A native of Hawaii, Hoopii-Tuionetoa ranks among the Texas League relief leaders in ERA (first), WHIP (second), opponents average (second, .167) and strikeout-to-walk rate (third, 4.00).

The Rangers designated lefty Kolton Ingram for assignment to make room on their roster for Grossman, who played on the Rangers' World Series champion club last season.

Grossman, 34, is hitting .211/.329/.268 with four doubles and a team-high 13 walks over 25 games with the Sox this season after signing as a minor-league free agent on March 22.

The Sox, who fell to 8-28 with a 5-1 loss to the Rays on Tuesday, will be exploring trades of veterans for prospects between now and the July 30 trade deadline. Grossman did not play Tuesday night.

Remillard, 30, has played in two games with the Sox in 2024, going 1-for-5 with a run scored. He was designated for assignment on April 22.
