Rebilas-Imagn Images The Chicago White Sox selected the contract of Drew Romo from Triple-A Charlotte and designated fellow catcher Reese McGuire for assignment on Saturday.
Romo, 24, is hitting .298 with three doubles, four home runs, 11 RBIs and 11 runs in 17 games with Charlotte. The White Sox claimed the switch-hitter off waivers from the New York Mets on Jan. 8.
He has limited major league experience, appearing in 19 games over the past two seasons with the Colorado Rockies. He hit .167 (9-for-54) with no home runs and six RBIs but threw out 23.8 percent (5-21) of runners attempting to steal a base with the Rockies.
McGuire, 31, appeared in 11 games as a backup to Edgar Quero and hit .172 (5-of-29) with three RBIs.
Kyle Teel typically shares the job with Quero but has yet to play this season because of a hamstring injury suffered in the World Baseball Classic. As a rookie in 2025, he hit .273 with eight homers and 35 RBIs in 78 games -- 61 of them at catcher.
The White Sox host the Washington Nationals on Saturday.
