White Sox Acquire Catcher Joey Bart From Atlanta Braves
Joey Bart joins Chicago for catching depth as the White Sox seek a playoff push, and the Braves clear room for Sean Murphy’s return.
- On Monday, August 3, 2026, the Chicago White Sox acquired catcher Joey Bart from the Atlanta Braves, addressing a roster need before the MLB trade deadline.
- Seeking catching help after Kyle Teel suffered a left ankle sprain, the White Sox addressed a major deficiency; Bart became expendable for the Braves as Sean Murphy neared his return.
- Across 41 games this season with the Braves and Pittsburgh Pirates, Bart hit four home runs with 13 RBIs, maintaining a.238 career average with 32 home runs and 126 RBIs over 376 games.
- Chicago sent right-hander Duncan Davitt to Atlanta to complete the trade; Davitt, 26, made his MLB debut April 10 and allowed one earned run in two innings before designation Sunday.
- Bart will provide defensive stability for the team's playoff push over the final two months, though he may face roster pressure upon Teel's return; this marks his third team this season.
