CLEVELAND – Prior to today’s series finale at Cleveland, the Chicago White Sox made the following five roster moves:

• Selected Contract from Class AAA Charlotte (1): OF Joshua Palacios;
• Selected Contract from Class AA Birmingham (1): C Omar Narváez;
• Placed on 10-Day Injured List (2): C Korey Lee (left ankle sprain) and OF Mike Tauchman (right hamstring strain);
• Released (1): RHP Juan Carela.

Palacios, 29, has played five games with Charlotte this season (.231, 3-13) after agreeing to terms on a minor-league deal with the White Sox on April 4.

Palacios, 6-foot and 210 pounds, is hitting .230 (91-396) with 13 doubles, two triples, 12 home runs, 55 RBI, 51 runs scored and seven stolen bases in 156 career games over four major-league seasons with Toronto (2021), Washington (2022) and Pittsburgh (2023-24). He originally was selected by the Blue Jays in the fourth round of the 2016 First-Year Player Draft out of Auburn University. Palacios will wear uniform No. 47.

Narváez, 33, appeared in three games with Birmingham in 2025, going 2-8 (.250) with a double and two RBI. He was the starting catcher for both the season debuts of left-handed pitchers Noah Schultz (April 4) and Hagen Smith (April 5).

Narváez is a career .251/.334/.374 (507-2,016) hitter with 83 doubles, 53 homers, 203 RBI and 228 runs scored in 677 games over nine career major-league seasons with the White Sox (2016-18), Seattle (2019), Milwaukee (2020-22) and New York-NL (2023-24). He will wear uniform No. 22.

Lee, 26, injured his left ankle last night in the sixth inning. He is batting .333/.412/.467 (5-15) with two doubles, one RBI and three runs scored over nine games with the White Sox this season.

Tauchman, 34, re-injured his hamstring attempting to score the game-tying run in the ninth inning of last night’s 3-2 loss. He is 4-10 with two walks and a run scored in three games with the White Sox after beginning the season on the 10-day injured list.

Carela, 23, underwent successful Tommy John surgery in March.

Following the moves, the White Sox 40-man roster is at 40.
