Frequently Asked Questions
What injury did Joey Bart suffer against the Red Sox?
Bart was hit in the left hand by a 98 mph fastball from Red Sox reliever Erik Miller and suffered a fractured fifth metacarpal. He immediately exited the game in the seventh inning and was replaced by Drew Romo.
Who did the White Sox call up to replace Joey Bart on the roster?
The White Sox recalled Edgar Quero from Triple-A Charlotte for the second time this season. This marks Quero's third stint as one of the team's primary catchers in 2026.
How bad is Edgar Quero defensively compared to the rest of MLB?
Quero ranks near the bottom of the league defensively, placing in the 4th percentile in blocking and 16th percentile in pitch framing. Those struggles behind the plate were a big reason Chris Getz went out and acquired Bart in the first place.
What did the White Sox give up to acquire Joey Bart?
The White Sox sent Duncan Davitt, their No. 30 prospect according to MLB Pipeline, to the Atlanta Braves in exchange for Bart. Davitt had struggled in Triple-A this season, posting a 6.22 ERA across 59.1 innings, making him a more expendable trade chip.
Who were some of the other catchers available at the trade deadline that the White Sox passed on?
More impactful catching options available at the deadline included Adley Rutschman, Tyler Stephenson, and Liam Hicks. Getz ultimately chose not to deal any of the organization's top prospects to land a bigger name.
