The Toronto Blue Jays have strengthened their infield by acquiring Lenyn Sosa from the Chicago White Sox in exchange for minor-league outfielder Jordan Rich and a player to be named later or cash considerations. Sosa, who is 26 years old, led the White Sox last season with 22 home runs and 75 RBIs. This acquisition is crucial for the Blue Jays as they cope with the loss of George Springer, who is out with a toe fracture. Currently, Toronto's offense is struggling, ranking mid-pack with 14 home runs in 15 games this season. Sosa has played every infield position during his five-year career, primarily at second base, and holds a career batting average of .245 with 37 home runs in 315 games. To accommodate Sosa on the 40-man roster, Toronto placed pitcher Shane Bieber on the 60-day injured list. Meanwhile, the White Sox are addressing a surplus of middle infielders while gaining an outfield prospect in Rich, who has yet to play professionally.
