Cousins signed a minor-league contract with the White Sox on Tuesday.
Analysis: Cousins has battled injuries and ineffectiveness over the last couple of seasons, but the 29-year-old reliever carries a 3.08 ERA with 72 strikeouts in 52.2 career major-league innings. He's a worthwhile reclamation project for Chicago.
Jake Cousins Designated for assignment
Cousins was designated for assignment by the Astros on Tuesday.
Analysis: Houston claimed Cousins off waivers from the Brewers in late July, but he's now been cut loose from the 40-man roster after allowing eight earned runs in eight innings of relief with Triple-A Sugar Land. Michael Brantley (shoulder) has been activated from the 60-day injured list in a corresponding move.
