2024 Fantasy Outlook
Lee was traded from the Astros to the White Sox at the 2023 trade deadline and played in 24 games down the stretch for Chicago. The 25-year-old struggled to get anything going offensively with a .077/.143/.138 slash line and 28.6 percent strikeout rate in 70 plate appearances, though he looked solid behind the plate. He had a .711 OPS in 82 games at Triple-A last season, and he hit just five homers compared to the 25 he slugged in 2022. Depending on the White Sox's offseason additions, Lee should have a chance to earn the start Opening Day in 2024, though he'd be a risky play for fantasy managers. As it stands, Carlos Perez and Max Stassi are his main competition. Read Past Outlooks
Sitting out afternoon game
Lee is not in the lineup for Wednesday's game against the Guardians.
ANALYSIS
Lee started each of the previous three contests, but he'll get a breather Wednesday as the White Sox and Guardians wrap up their series with an afternoon game. Chuckie Robinson will catch and bat eighth.

2023 Fantasy Outlook
Lee debuted for the Astros in 2022 and went 4-for-25 in 12 games. The acquisition of Christian Vazquez at the trade deadline ended any chances of the 24-year-old seeing significant action down the stretch for Houston. Vazquez has joined the Twins in free agency, but Martin Maldonado will be back for 2023, though it's his final year under contract. Maldonado continues to struggle at the play but remains strong as ever defensively, and he should operate as the Astros' primary backstop once again. Lee hit .238 with 25 home runs and 12 stolen bases at Triple-A last season, and he could open 2023 as Houston's backup catcher. However, fellow top prospect Yainer Diaz will be vying for the same opportunity.
