Lee went 2-for-3 with a two-run home run and a walk Monday in a 7-0 win over the Royals.
EDGE Analysis
Lee was called up from Triple-A Charlotte on Friday, but he didn't get into any games over the weekend. However, the backstop was given a chance to start behind the plate Monday and made the most of the opportunity, crushing a two-run homer to left field in the fourth inning. The long ball was his first of the year in his 15th contest after he went deep 12 times over 125 games last season. Lee has hit pretty well with a .290/.353/.484 slash line during his limited time in the majors this season, but he doesn't figure to get much playing time with both Kyle Teel and Edgar Quero ahead of him on the catcher depth chart.

The White Sox recalled Lee from Triple-A Charlotte on Friday.
EDGE Analysis
Lee will join the active roster ahead of Friday's game against the Twins. The 27-year-old will be the third catcher on the depth chart behind rookies Kyle Teel and Edgar Quero. Lee has been in the minors since early June. Josh Rojas was designated for assignment in a corresponding move.

The White Sox optioned Lee to Triple-A Charlotte on Friday.
EDGE Analysis
The 26-year-old will lose his place on the MLB roster Friday with prospect Kyle Teel being called up for his first taste of the majors. Lee was reinstated from the injured list last week after going down with an ankle injury in early April, and he'll head to the minors with a .250/.300/.357 slash line in 31 big-league plate appearances this season.

Lee (ankle) was activated from the 10-day injured list prior to Tuesday's game against the Mets.
EDGE Analysis
Backup catcher Matt Thaiss was traded to the Rays for a low-level prospect (Dru Baker) Tuesday in advance of Lee's activation. Edgar Quero should continue to play more than Lee, although Quero could start getting another start or two at designated hitter each week to provide Lee with more opportunities. Lee hit .333 with a .417 BABIP and zero home runs in 17 plate appearances before landing on the shelf. He hit .302 with two home runs in 11 rehab games.

Lee (ankle) will begin a rehab assignment with Triple-A Charlotte on Friday, Scott Merkin of MLB.com reports.
EDGE Analysis
Lee has missed the last month of action with a left ankle sprain but is ready to test things out in a game setting. With Edgar Quero now with the big club, Lee is not guaranteed to be added to the major-league roster once he's deemed physically ready.

Manager Will Venable said that the swelling in Lee's ankle is nearly entirely gone, MLB.com reports.
EDGE Analysis
Lee has been on the injured list since April 10 due to a left ankle sprain. It's unclear what the next steps in his recovery will be, or how quickly he can return. Lee was already stuck in a backup role prior to Edgar Quero's promotion, so his spot on the big-league roster could be in jeopardy once healthy.

The White Sox placed Lee on the 10-day injured list Thursday due to a left ankle sprain.
EDGE Analysis
Lee sustained the injury in the sixth inning of Wednesday's 3-2 loss to the Guardians. The severity of the ankle sprain isn't known, but since it's considered more than a day-to-day concern, Lee was deactivated and replaced on the 26-man active roster by veteran backstop Omar Narvaez, whose contract was purchased from Double-A Birmingham. Matt Thaiss should still see the majority of the starts behind the plate while Lee is on the shelf.

Lee will likely spend time on the injured list after rolling his left ankle during Wednesday's game against Cleveland, James Fegan of SoxMachine.com reports.
EDGE Analysis
Lee stepped on Carlos Santana's foot while trying to make it back to first base on a pickoff attempt in the sixth inning of Wednesday's contest. No official move has been made yet, but Omar Narvaez's removal from his game at Double-A Birmingham could suggest that he's on his way to join the White Sox as Lee's injury replacement.

Lee was removed from Wednesday's game against the Guardians due to left ankle soreness.
EDGE Analysis
Lee appeared to roll his ankle while scrambling back to first base in the sixth inning. He ended up getting picked off to end the frame and was replaced at catcher when the White Sox took the field. The team will take a closer look at him to see if he suffered any structural damage, but he can be considered day-to-day for now.

Lee is out of the lineup for Sunday's game against the Angels.
EDGE Analysis
Lee drew the start behind the plate Opening Day while the Angels sent lefty Yusei Kikuchi to the bump, but the catcher will now hit the bench for the second game in a row. The Angels have deployed right-handed starters Saturday and Sunday, so Lee may be on the short side of a platoon at catcher with Matt Thaiss, who draws a second straight start.
