The Chicago White Sox on Monday placed catcher Max Stassi, who missed all of last season, on the 10-day injured list because of left hip inflammation.
Stassi, 33, had not played in a spring training game since March 20. Korey Lee was recalled from Triple-A Charlotte to fill his spot on the Opening Day roster.
Stassi suffered a hip strain during spring training in 2023 and eventually landed on the 60-day injured list. In September he announced he would not return this season while attending to a medical issue in his family.
"Well, remember, (Stassi) didn't play last year," White Sox manager Pedro Grifol said Sunday.
