The White Sox released catcher\u00a0Eric Haase<\/a> from a minor league contract, as Brooke Fletcher of Chicago Sports Network<\/a> was among those to report. He had signed with the Sox just a couple weeks ago.<\/p>\n

In seven games with Triple-A Charlotte, Haase went 9-25. He hit a couple doubles and a homer with five walks and strikeouts apiece. It\u2019s a strong showing that seemingly pointed to Haase being granted his release to explore other opportunities. Chicago passed on the chance to select his contract after Joey Bart<\/a> broke a bone in his hand, opting to go back to the Drew Romo<\/a> \u2013 Edgar Quero<\/a> pairing.<\/p>\n

Haase was released by the Giants shortly before signing with Chicago. He had spent the preceding three months on San Francisco\u2019s MLB roster. Haase signed an offseason minor league deal and was in camp. He didn\u2019t win an Opening Day job but was up by mid-April as injuries opened an opportunity behind the dish.<\/p>\n

The 33-year-old appeared in 29 games for San Francisco in a depth role. He took 84 plate appearances and hit .162\/.235\/.365 with four home runs while punching out in a third of his trips. That\u2019s standard production for Haase, a veteran of parts of nine MLB seasons. He has above-average power with a lot of whiffs, leading to a career .224\/.276\/.394 slash line. Haase has a good arm but isn\u2019t a polished receiving catcher.<\/p>\n

Bart and\u00a0Kyle Teel<\/a> are still on the injured list, leaving Romo and Quero as the only healthy catchers on the 40-man roster. Korey Lee<\/a> now projects as their top depth option. He\u2019s the sole remaining catcher in the organization who has MLB experience. Teel, rehabbing from a left ankle sprain, told MLB.com\u2019s Scott Merkin<\/a> on Wednesday that he\u2019s progressing well. The Sox hope he\u2019ll be back in September.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"The White Sox released catcher\u00a0Eric Haase from a minor league contract, as Brooke Fletcher of Chicago Sports Network…\n","protected":false},"author":2,"featured_media":854614,"comment_status":"","ping_status":"","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"footnotes":""},"categories":[558],"tags":[64,63,27866,240119,591,85],"class_list":["post-854613","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","has-post-thumbnail","category-mlb","tag-au","tag-australia","tag-eric-haase","tag-kyle-teel","tag-mlb","tag-sports"],"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/au\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/854613","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/au\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/au\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/au\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/2"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/au\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=854613"}],"version-history":[{"count":0,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/au\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/854613\/revisions"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/au\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media\/854614"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/au\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=854613"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/au\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=854613"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/au\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=854613"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
