URGENT UPDATE: The Chicago White Sox have made a significant roster move, recalling catcher Korey Lee from Triple-A Charlotte and designating infielder Josh Rojas for assignment. This announcement comes just before the team’s game against the Minnesota Twins on Friday night.
The addition of Lee, who was part of the White Sox’s opening-day roster, brings the team’s total number of catchers to three. Earlier today, Lee was batting .250 from 28 at-bats in his 14 appearances with the White Sox this season. He also showcased solid performance at Charlotte, hitting .255 with eight home runs and 28 RBIs in 55 games.
In contrast, Rojas has struggled significantly this season. After signing a $3.5 million one-year contract with the White Sox in January, he has managed only a .180 batting average, contributing two home runs and 11 RBIs across 69 games. The decision to designate him for assignment underscores the team’s need for immediate improvement and performance on the field.
Lee is expected to provide a boost to the team’s depth behind the plate, especially as Kyle Teel started against the Twins earlier this evening, while Edgar Quero served as the designated hitter.
As the White Sox aim to enhance their roster during this critical part of the season, fans will be watching closely to see how these changes impact their performance as they continue their campaign in the American League Central.
Stay tuned for further developments as the White Sox navigate this pivotal moment in their season.
