In late July 2026 the Chicago White Sox added veteran catcher Eric Haase on a minor‑league contract, assigning him to Triple‑A Charlotte to bolster a catching group thinned by rookie Kyle Teel’s injury. Haase, 33, came from the San Francisco Giants after a brief stint and was expected to provide depth and a possible call‑up if needed before the trade deadline.

A week later, in early August, the White Sox signed 27‑year‑old outfielder Joey Wiemer to a similar minor‑league deal, also sending him to Charlotte. The move addressed a shortage in outfield depth after the club released Austin Hays and lost Everson Pereira on waivers. Both signings reflect the team’s strategy of using Triple‑A contracts to fill roster gaps and maintain flexibility during the season.
