White Sox's Korey Lee: Lands on IL with ankle sprain
Rotowire
The White Sox placed Lee on the 10-day injured list Thursday due to a left ankle sprain.
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.

Rotowire
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.
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.

White Sox's Korey Lee: Sitting against righty again
Rotowire
Lee is out of the lineup for Sunday's game against the Angels.
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.

White Sox's Korey Lee: Impressive in spring
Rotowire
Lee has gone 10-for-25 with four extra-base hits in Cactus League games.
Lee has a 49 wRC+ across 490 big-league plate appearances, so success across a small sample in relatively meaningless games isn't all that reassuring. However, he appears likely to enter the regular season as Chicago's primary catcher and his performance this spring could buy him some additional time over top prospects Kyle Teel and Edgar Quero.

White Sox's Korey Lee: Has bruised hand
Rotowire
Lee was removed from Wednesday's Cactus League game against the Brewers due to a bruised right hand.
X-rays on Lee's hand came back negative after the game, and he is officially considered day-to-day. The 26-year-old backstop suffered the injury during the third inning of Wednesday's contest while attempting to throw to third base to catch a stealing Sal Frelick. The White Sox may give Lee a day or two off to recover, which will open up more reps behind the plate for prospect Edgar Quero.
