The White Sox announced Wednesday that infielder Curtis Mead and catcher Korey Lee have been designated for assignment. Both were out of minor league options, and neither player made the Opening Day roster. They’ll be placed on waivers or traded to a team willing to carry them on the 26-man roster within the next five days. Outfielder Tristan Peters grabs a bench spot over Mead.
Infielder/outfielder Brooks Baldwin (elbow sprain) and catcher Kyle Teel (hamstring strain) open the season on the 10-day IL.
