New White Sox catcher Joey Bart fractured the fifth metacarpal in his left hand tonight, the team announced. Bart was just drilled by a 98 mph fastball from Red Sox reliever Erik Miller, himself a deadline pickup. He was replaced by Drew Romo.
The immediate fracture diagnosis makes an injured list stint feel inevitable. Chicago figures to recall Edgar Quero from Triple-A Charlotte yet again to split time with Romo. That’s an underwhelming pairing which the White Sox specifically sought to upgrade by acquiring Bart at the deadline. The unfortunate timing of today’s injury leaves them without many alternatives while they awaiting the return of Kyle Teel.
There wasn’t a huge acquisition cost. The Sox traded swingman Duncan Davitt, whom they’d designated for assignment earlier on deadline day, to the Braves for Bart. Atlanta had Sean Murphy on the verge of returning from the injured list and wasn’t likely to carry three catchers. Bart should’ve had a decent chance at the #1 catching job with the Sox until Teel returns from a high ankle sprain, hopefully in early September.
More to come.
