The White Sox’ 40-man roster is down to 37 players after a series of moves on Thursday, including the decision to decline Matt Albers’ $3 million team option.

The White Sox also released reliever Daniel Webb, who had reconstructive elbow surgery in May, and outrighted outfielder J.B. Shuck off the 40-man roster to Triple-A Charlotte. The team also reinstated reliever Jake Petricka and third baseman Matt Davidson off the 60-day disabled list.

Albers started the 2016 season strong, but struggled from mid-May on and finished 2-6 with a 6.31 ERA in 51 1/3 innings. Webb appeared in one game last season before an injury that required Tommy John surgery.

Shuck appeared in 81 games and hit .205/.248/.299 with four home runs and 14 RBIs in 241 plate appearances.
