Joey Bart breaks hand, leaving White Sox in critical catcher situation
Summary

Joey Bart suffered a fractured left hand during a game against Boston, ending his stint with the Chicago White Sox just three games after being acquired from the Atlanta Braves. He exited the game after being hit by a pitch. Bart's injury places significant pressure on a White Sox team that was already facing challenges at catcher, as Kyle Teel remains sidelined with injuries. With Bart now likely headed for the injured list, the White Sox are expected to rely on Drew Romo and Edgar Quero behind the plate. This injury follows a turbulent period for the team, which had aimed to bolster its catching position before the trade deadline.
