Haseley elected free agency Thursday, Scott Merkin of MLB.com reports.

EDGE Analysis

Haseley was DFA'd by the White Sox on Tuesday to make room for Paul DeJong, and Haseley will now be able to choose where he spends the 2024 season. The 27-year-old outfielder spent most of last year with Triple-A Charlotte, slashing .264/.338/.386 across 313 plate appearances, and he should be able to secure at least a minor-league deal elsewhere.

Haseley was designated for assignment by the White Sox on Tuesday, LaMond Pope of the Chicago Tribune reports.

EDGE Analysis

This move clears out a 40-man roster spot for Paul DeJong, whose one-year, $1.75 million agreement with Chicago has now been made official. Haseley, 27, slashed just .222/.282/.278 over 39 major-league plate appearances in 2023 and also had underwhelming numbers with Triple-A Charlotte.

The White Sox optioned Haseley to Triple-A Charlotte on Friday.

EDGE Analysis

Four days after being recalled from Triple-A, Haseley will return to the minors without making a plate appearance. The 27-year-old outfielder is slashing .277/.365/.431 across 156 plate appearances in Charlotte and could return to Chicago as a depth piece if he keeps performing in Triple-A the way he has. Carlos Perez was recalled from Charlotte in a corresponding move.

The White Sox recalled Haseley from Triple-A Charlotte on Monday.

EDGE Analysis

Haseley was optioned to Charlotte on May 28 and has since slashed .303/.380/.427 with two homers and 10 RBI across 100 plate appearances. However, his major-league history is less than impressive, and he will likely serve as a bench piece while in Chicago. Jose Rodriguez was optioned to Double-A Birmingham in a corresponding move.

Chicago optioned Haseley to Triple-A Charlotte on Sunday, James Fegan of The Athletic reports.

EDGE Analysis

Haseley will cede his spot on the 26-man active roster to Eloy Jimenez (appendectomy), who was reinstated from the 10-day injured list ahead of Sunday's game against the Tigers. In 39 plate appearances with the big club this season, Haseley has slashed .222/.282/.278 with one stolen base.

Haseley stole a base and scored a run as a pinch runner in Wednesday's 7-2 win over the Guardians.

EDGE Analysis

Haseley ran for Yasmani Grandal (hamstring) in the sixth inning. It was a productive substitution by manager Pedro Grifol, as Haseley stole second and scored on a Tim Anderson single. This was Haseley's first steal of the season to go with five runs scored and two RBI through 34 plate appearances over 20 games. He's little more than a defensive substitute and bench bat for the White Sox.

Haseley is starting in right field and batting eighth for the White Sox in Thursday's game versus the Royals.

EDGE Analysis

Gavin Sheets is in the designated hitter spot for this one, opening up right field for Haseley. The 27-year-old is off to an 8-for-22 start during his brief time with the big club in 2023.

Haseley went 4-for-5 with an RBI, a walk and three runs scored in Sunday's 12-9 win over the Rays.

EDGE Analysis

Haseley received just his second start since he was called up to the big league club two weeks ago and took full advantage of the opportunity. The 27-year-old was put in the leadoff spot and singled in the first, third, fifth and ninth innings and reached via a walk in the seventh. His RBI knock in the ninth tied the game up at nine apiece and he would come around to score on a walkoff three-run blast by Andrew Vaughn. Haseley was a first round pick back in 2017 but has never lived up the profile since debuting in 2019. There's not really much upside with him, but he could move ahead of Oscar Colas on the team's outfield depth chart with Colas struggling to make an impact at the dish. Haseley's big performance Sunday puts him at a slash line of .545/.615/.636 over 13 plate appearances.

The White Sox purchased the contract of Haseley from Triple-A Charlotte on Sunday.

EDGE Analysis

Haseley will provide a bench option for the White Sox after the club placed Hanser Alberto on the 10-day injured list with a quad strain. A first-round pick back in 2017, Haseley has had limited success in the majors with a career .687 OPS over 130 MLB games.

Haseley was outrighted to Triple-A Charlotte on Friday, Daryl Van Schouwen of the Chicago Sun-Times reports.

EDGE Analysis

Haseley had three stints in the majors during 2022 and had a .571 OPS in 25 plate appearances. He spent most of the year with Charlotte and had a .239/.305/.411 slash line with 15 home runs, 63 RBI and 18 stolen bases in 110 games.
