The Boston Red Sox have officially lost one of their catchers.
The Red Sox have announced that the Chicago White Sox have claimed catcher Jake Rogers off waivers from them. This comes after the Red Sox designated him for assignment earlier during the week.
The Red Sox had just acquired Rogers from the Baltimore Orioles earlier this month. However, with this latest news, he is now heading to the White Sox.

Seeing the White Sox bring in Rogers is understandable. They could use more depth behind the plate, and this is especially so when noting that catcher Joey Bart is currently sidelined. Now, Rogers will provide the White Sox with another catcher who has a good amount of MLB experience on their roster.
Rogers' time with the Red Sox may have been short, but he certainly did well when used in their lineup. In three games with Boston after being acquired, he had three hits in six plate appearances. Two of his three hits with the Red Sox were doubles, and he also recorded two RBI.
In 368 career MLB games over six seasons split between the Detroit Tigers, Orioles, and Red Sox, Rogers has recorded 47 home runs, 140 RBI, and a .199 batting average. It will be interesting to see how he performs with the White Sox after being claimed off waivers from here.
