CHICAGO (AP) - The Chicago White Sox have recalled catcher Korey Lee from Triple-A Charlotte and designated infielder Josh Rojas for assignment. The team announced the moves before Friday night's game against Minnesota. The addition of Lee gives the White Sox three catchers on their active roster. Kyle Teel got the start behind the plate against the Twins, and Edgar Quero also was in the lineup as the designated hitter.

Hurston Waldrep struck out a career best-tying seven in seven innings as the Atlanta Braves beat the Chicago White Sox 1-0 on Wednesday night. Marcell Ozuna scored from third base in the fourth inning on an infield error as Atlanta took the rubber game of the three-game series. Raisel Iglesias pitched the ninth for his 21st save. Chicago has now lost six of its last seven games and 13 of its last 16.

Naturally, within hours of this column on the offense disappearing being written the White Sox exploded for 13 runs, their most this season, with several of the players written about here having a huge night. Nice for them, and yeah, then the lineup scored another 10 runs on Tuesday. But the premise still stands. I think. Though if a draft of a piece about hitting collapse serves as inspiration, South Side Sox will do it on a regular basis, to help the team.

The Chicago White Sox picked up where they left off after Monday's 13-9 win, as they racked up 10 runs in the first six innings of Tuesday's game against the Atlanta Braves. Rookie catcher Kyle Teel doubled and homered to lead the team with four RBI, and production came from all over. Mike Tauchman, Miguel Vargas, Lenyn Sosa and Luis Robert Jr. each drove in runs, and eight players in the starting lineup recorded hits.

"We're really happy with that. We think he merits continuing to get starts." - Manager Matt Quatraro expressing confidence in Ryan Bergert's performance and future starts.

A White Sox starting pitcher has not thrown more than five innings since Aug. 2, indicating a significant struggle for the starting rotation. The bullpen has been under increased strain due to the starters' inefficiencies.

"He deserves a lot of credit. Every series, every day, he creates a pathway to victory. There are no highs and lows with him... consistency is so valuable in a leadership role like the manager."
