White Sox manager Will Venable said Friday that Civale will start Sunday's game against the Rangers, Kyle Williams of the Chicago Sun-Times reports.
EDGE Analysis
Civale's trade request from the Brewers revolved around their decision to move him to the bullpen, and his wish was granted Friday morning with a trade to Chicago. He'll immediately slot into the starting rotation and will make his White Sox debut Sunday. Civale logged a 4.91 ERA over 22.0 innings with the Brewers and pitched into the sixth inning just once in five starts this season.

The White Sox have agreed to acquire Civale in a trade with the Brewers, Jon Heyman of the New York Post reports.
EDGE Analysis
Per Jesse Rogers of ESPN.com, the Brewers will receive Andrew Vaughn in return. Civale requested a trade after being told earlier this week that he would be demoted to the bullpen, and Milwaukee has accommodated the request. The veteran right-hander last pitched Monday, so he could join Chicago's rotation as soon as Saturday against the Rangers.

Civale requested a trade from the Brewers after manager Pat Murphy informed the right-hander Wednesday that he would be moved to the bullpen, Ken Rosenthal and Will Sammon of The Athletic report.
EDGE Analysis
Civale is the odd man out of the rotation to accommodate the arrival of top prospect Jacob Misiorowski, who will be called up from Triple-A Nashville to start Thursday versus the Cardinals. However, Civale's agent, Jack Toffey, has formally made a request to Brewers general manager Matt Arnold that his client be traded to a team where he can continue being used as a starting pitcher. The Brewers are under no obligation to honor the request, but there should be interest in Civale if the club decides a trade is best for both parties. Civale has been limited to five starts this season due to a strained hamstring, posting a 4.91 ERA and 19:7 K:BB over 22 innings. The 30-year-old is making $8 million this season and is set to become a free agent this offseason.

Brewers manager Pat Murphy said Wednesday that Civale will move to the bullpen for the time being, Jack Stern of BrewerFanatic.com reports.
EDGE Analysis
Jacob Misiorowski is joining the rotation Thursday and the Brewers want to stick with a traditional five-man setup, so Civale is the odd man out. It's possible Civale eventually rejoins the rotation if Misiorowski struggles, although the Brewers hope to get Brandon Woodruff (shoulder/ankle/elbow) in the coming weeks.

Civale (1-2) took the loss against Atlanta on Monday, allowing two runs on five hits and two walks while striking out five batters over 4.2 innings.
EDGE Analysis
Civale worked around frequent traffic to get through four scoreless frames, but he ran into trouble in the fifth. In that inning, Ronald Acuna tagged the right-hander for a solo home run, and Civale was pulled after allowing a two-out double to Austin Riley. Riley came around to score one batter later, saddling Civale with the loss. The veteran hurler did manage to tie a season high with five punchouts, and he's now given up two or fewer runs in all four of his starts since coming off the injured list May 22, though he's topped out at 5.1 frames during that span. Civale is tentatively slated to take on St. Louis in his next start.

Civale (1-1) earned the win Monday against the Reds after allowing two runs on seven hits and one walk in 5.1 innings. He struck out five.
EDGE Analysis
Civale has given the Brewers some quality innings since coming off the injured list, having now surrendered five runs over his last 14.1 frames. The veteran right-hander set a new season high in punchouts despite yielding a season-worst seven hits Monday, and he now carries a 3.14 ERA, 1.26 WHIP and 12:4 K:BB across his last three outings. Civale is tentatively lined up to toe the slab this weekend versus the Padres, although it remains to be seen if Brandon Woodruff (ankle) will be ready to make his season debut and potentially change the current arrangement of Milwaukee's rotation.

Civale allowed one run on three hits and a walk while striking out four in five innings Tuesday against the Red Sox. He did not factor into the decision.
EDGE Analysis
Civale blanked the Red Sox through five innings while tossing 75 pitches. He returned for the sixth and was met with a ground-rule double from Ceddanne Rafaela, which ended his night. Rafaela would come around to score for the game's first run and leave Civale in line for the loss. Still, it was a needed bounce-back outing for Civale, who came in having allowed seven runs and four homers in seven innings this season. Civale lines up to make his third road start of the campaign next week against the Reds.

Civale didn't factor into the decision Thursday against the Pirates after allowing two runs on four hits and two walks in four innings. He struck out three.
EDGE Analysis
It was an up-and-down performance by Civale, who made his first start since March after recovering from a strained left hamstring. The 29-year-old right-hander has now given up four home runs over just seven innings this season, and he also hit a batter Thursday while throwing just 42 of his 73 pitches for strikes. Civale was operating under a pitch count in his return, and he'll be aiming to sharpen his control and get stretched out further in his next scheduled outing against the Red Sox.

Civale (hamstring) will start Thursday's game in Pittsburgh, Todd Rosiak of the Milwaukee Journal Sentinel reports.
EDGE Analysis
Civale is slated to throw 75-to-85 pitches in what will be his first start for Milwaukee since he went down with a strained left hamstring in late March. The veteran hurler made two rehab starts with Triple-A Nashville, tossing nine scoreless innings with a 5:2 K:BB. Carlos Rodriguez is expected to follow Civale on Thursday.
