2025 Projections
2025 Fantasy Outlook
Lee served as the White Sox's primary backstop in 2024, but he struggled during his rookie campaign with 12 home runs, a .591 OPS and 31 percent strikeout rate in 125 games. His six stolen bases were solid for a catcher, but a .210 batting average and 4.3 percent walk rate limited his opportunities on the basepaths. Lee was never a world-beater at the plate in the minors with a .747 OPS, 30 homers and 25 steals in 195 career games at the Triple-A level, but the power and speed production showed some promise. He has a long way to go toward being fantasy relevant, and his opportunities could be limited in 2025 with prospect Edgar Quero poised to make his MLB debut. Read Past Outlooks
Struggles to close season
Lee went 1-for-5 with two RBI and a stolen base Sunday against the Tigers.
ANALYSIS
Lee 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. Top prospect Edgar Quero could be ready to challenge Lee for playing time early next season.

Past Fantasy Outlooks
2024
2023
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.

Likely staying put
According to Daryl Van Schouwen of the Chicago Sun-Times, the White Sox aren't expected to consider trading Lee ahead of the July 30 deadline.
ANALYSIS
The 25-year-old was acquired by Chicago from Houston at the deadline last year and is serving as the White Sox's primary backstop in 2024.
