ImpactLee has split time with Chuckie Robinson in September after struggling for the second half of the campaign. Since the All-Star break, he has maintained just a .242 wOBA and .558 OPS. Even so, Lee should get the chance to open the 2025 season as the White Sox's starting backstop.

Bryan Ramos - Shows power to close seasonRamos went 2-for-4 with a walk, two RBI and two runs scored Sunday against the Tigers.
