A few players, like catcher Kyle Teel, were already going to begin the season on the injured list. Teel injured his hamstring while playing for Italy in the World Baseball Classic.

Teel did provide an update on his injury, saying he could be back “soon after” the home opener. Infielder/outfielder Brooks Baldwin will also begin the year on the injured list with a right elbow sprain. Baldwin was limited to eight games (.286 average, .762 OPS).

Right-handers Prelander Berroa, Drew Thorpe, and Mike Vasil were all placed on the 15-day injured list as they recover from Tommy John surgery. Vasil left his start against the Los Angeles Dodgers after feeling elbow discomfort, while Thorpe progresses slowly.

The White Sox designate two interesting players for assignment

Out of minor league options, catcher Korey Lee and infielder Curtis Mead were designated for assignment. The White Sox brought in veteran catcher Reese McGuire on a one-year contract to back up catcher Edgar Quero, leading to Lee’s DFA.

Lee performed great showing this spring — batting .289 with three doubles, two home runs and four RBI. Lee will likely get picked up by a team. A few teams, such as the Colorado Rockies, the Pittsburgh Pirates, and the Kansas City Royals, could use someone like Lee.

Mead was in the running to be the White Sox’s third baseman and a backup to infielder Munetaka Murakami at first base. Sadly, Mead didn’t perform well enough this spring to win a job and stay on the roster. Mead batted .233 with two home runs and seven strikeouts in 10 games.

After these moves, the White Sox’s 26-man roster will include: 13 pitchers, 2 catchers, 5 infielders, and 6 outfielders. The White Sox have 38 players on the 40-man roster.
