White Sox Add Jake Rogers to Roster, Option Edgar Quero to Triple-A Charlotte
Chicago announced Rogers joins the 26-man roster ahead of their game at Detroit, with Quero heading to Triple-A Charlotte in the corresponding move.
The Chicago White Sox announced that catcher Jake Rogers has been added to the 26-man roster, with catcher Edgar Quero optioned to Triple-A Charlotte ahead of the club's game at Detroit, per the team's official account.
Rogers lands on the active roster a day after the White Sox claimed him off waivers from the Detroit Tigers — the very club Chicago is now visiting, which is the kind of scheduling poetry the waiver wire occasionally produces. Quero heads to Charlotte as the corresponding move.
What this means behind the plate
The transaction gives Chicago an additional catching option for the Detroit series. What remains unconfirmed is how catching duties will be distributed or what role Rogers is expected to fill beyond depth.
The broader roster picture
The White Sox have been navigating a busy stretch of roster activity. Davis Martin was placed on the 15-day IL with a right middle finger blister, a move that has already prompted further shuffling around the pitching staff. Rogers's addition slots into that ongoing churn rather than arriving in a vacuum.
What to watch: whether Quero's stay in Charlotte is brief, or whether Rogers settles into a longer run on the active roster.
