Chicago White Sox Acquire Catcher Jake Rogers from Waivers

The Chicago White Sox have acquired catcher Jake Rogers off waivers from the Boston Red Sox. This move comes after Rogers was designated for assignment on August 11 to allow for the activation of catcher Adley Rutschman.

In a related transaction, the White Sox designated left-handed pitcher Joe Rock for assignment to create space for Rogers on the roster. Rogers has demonstrated strong performance against left-handed pitchers this season, with a batting line of .273/.346/.455 and an OPS of .801.

Rogers, who has experience with the Detroit Tigers, is expected to provide valuable support as the White Sox prepare to face a competitive Tigers lineup. Despite a challenging batting average of .183 this year, his defensive skills and familiarity with the division rivals could enhance the White Sox's chances as they aim for the postseason.
