SEBY ZAVALA NEWS

Swats first homer of year Zavala went 2-for-5 with a home run and three RBI in Wednesday's 13-0 romp over the Tigers.

Impact In only his third big-league game of the year, Zavala took Alex Lange deep in the fifth inning for a two-run shot, his first homer with the White Sox in 2022. The 28-year-old backstop has shown plenty of power in his career, slugging 38 homers in 214 career games for Triple-A Charlotte, and with Yasmani Grandal (back) on the shelf Zavala could see consistent work in a timeshare with Reese McGuire.

Contract purchased by White Sox Zavala's contract was selected from Triple-A Charlotte on Sunday.

Joining big-league roster Zavala is traveling to Chicago on Saturday and is expected to join the active roster ahead of Sunday's game against the Rangers, Daryl Van Schouwen of the Chicago Sun-Times reports...

Impact Zavala was outrighted off the roster prior to Opening Day, but he'll be needed again with Yasmani Grandal (hamstring) unavailable for at least Sunday's contest. If Grandal's injury sends him to the injured list, Zavala will be his direct replacement on the roster, but the White Sox still intend to call up Zavala temporarily even if Grandal only has to miss a day or two, as the team doesn't want to go into a game with Reese McGuire as the only healthy catcher.

Optioned to Triple-A Zavala was optioned to Triple-A Charlotte on Tuesday.

Impact Zavala had been in the majors since early July, first sharing the catcher spot with Zack Collins while Yasmani Grandal was out with a knee injury and then serving as Grandal's backup, with Collins heading to the minors. He hasn't done much in 104 plate appearances, hitting just .183/.240/.376, so the White Sox elected to recall Collins to fill the backup spot and send Zavala back to the minors.
