Josh Rojas was having the worst season of his Major League career by several measures, and on Friday the White Sox designated him for assignment.

Lee has an .808 OPS in Charlotte this season and .657 OPS in 14 big league games. He has improved offensively after slugging 12 home runs for the 2024 White Sox in a more regular role.

The Athletic’s Dennis Lin reports that the Padres have interest in White Sox catcher Korey Lee, who has spent much of the 2025 season either on the big league injured list or at Triple-A Charlotte.
