Thaiss went 1-for-4 with a three-run home run Sunday against the Red Sox.
EDGE Analysis
Thaiss has alternated starts behind the plate with Edgar Quero since the latter was promoted to the majors Thursday. Thaiss hasn't had much success at the plate, with Sunday's homer being his first of the season and only his third total extra-base hit across 45 plate appearances. He may lose additional playing time once Quero gets more comfortable at the big-league level, further limiting Thaiss's fantasy appeal.

Thaiss is out of the lineup for Thursday's game against the Athletics.
EDGE Analysis
Thaiss emerged as the White Sox's No. 1 backstop early on this season, but he'll be on the bench for the second straight day Thursday and now looks poised to move into a backup role with Chicago promoting catching prospect Edgar Quero from Triple-A Charlotte. Even while seeing the bulk of the work behind the plate through Chicago's first 17 games of the season, Thaiss didn't make much of a fantasy impact, batting .241 with few counting statistics (zero home runs, zero steals, three runs, three RBI).

Thaiss is out of the lineup for Wednesday's game against the Athletics.
EDGE Analysis
Thaiss will receive a breather after he started behind the plate in Chicago's last two games while going 2-for-7 with an RBI. Omar Narvaez will step in as the White Sox's starting catcher Wednesday.

Thaiss went 1-for-3 with an RBI on Sunday against the Red Sox.
EDGE Analysis
Thaiss sat in the first two games of the series, with Omar Narvaez instead behind the dish. He accounted for the White Sox's only run Sunday with an RBI single in the eighth inning and has now reached base in each of his last four starts. Thaiss has only two extra-base hits this season, though he has maintained a 7:8 K:BB through 34 plate appearances

Thaiss isn't in the lineup for Saturday's game versus Boston.
EDGE Analysis
Thaiss will step aside Saturday to allow Omar Narvaez to get a second consecutive start behind the dish following Narvaez's three-RBI performance Friday. Thaiss owns a .737 OPS through 10 games this season and still figures to be Chicago's primary backstop.

EDGE Analysis
The left-handed-hitting Thaiss will check out of the lineup while the Guardians send southpaw Logan Allen to the mound Wednesday. Korey Lee will handle the catching duties for the White Sox.

Thaiss isn't in the lineup for Saturday's game against the Tigers.
EDGE Analysis

Thaiss went 2-for-3 with a double, a walk and an RBI in Sunday's game against the Angels.
EDGE Analysis
Thaiss started his second straight game behind the plate and appears to have overtaken Korey Lee as the White Sox's preferred option. He tallied his first hit of the season in the first inning to drive in Luis Robert Jr. Thaiss has reached base five times across seven plate appearances in his two starts.

Thaiss will start at catcher and bat fifth in Sunday's game against the Angels.
EDGE Analysis
Thaiss will make his second straight start behind the plate after going 0-for-1 with two walks in his White Sox debut Saturday. Both of the lefty-hitting Thaiss's starts have come against right-handed pitchers, while the right-handed-hitting Korey Lee handled catching duties in the opener Thursday, when the Angels sent southpaw Yusei Kikuchi to the hill. As such, it's possible that White Sox manager Will Venable is running a loose platoon at catcher that could afford Thaiss the majority of the starts.

The White Sox informed Thaiss on Monday that he'll be included on the Opening Day roster, Scott Merkin of MLB.com reports.
EDGE Analysis
Thaiss will likely open the season as the No. 2 catcher behind incumbent Korey Lee after posting an .892 OPS across 12 Cactus League games. Thaiss and Lee may not be ticketed for season-long stays on the active roster, however, as catching prospects Kyle Teel and Edgar Quero will open the campaign at Triple-A Charlotte but should be ready to make their MLB debuts at some point later in 2025.
