Collins was called up by the White Sox on Tuesday.
Collins provides additional catcher depth behind Yasmani Grandal, taking over the backup spot from Seby Zavala, who was optioned in a corresponding transaction. There could also be more at-bats available elsewhere for a bat-first player like Collins with Andrew Vaughn (back) landing on the injured list, but Collins' .202/.324/.331 season slash line suggests he shouldn't be spending much time as a designated hitter.
