Haseley elected free agency Thursday, Scott Merkin of MLB.com reports.
Haseley was DFA'd by the White Sox on Tuesday to make room for Paul DeJong, and Haseley will now be able to choose where he spends the 2024 season. The 27-year-old outfielder spent most of last year with Triple-A Charlotte, slashing .264/.338/.386 across 313 plate appearances, and he should be able to secure at least a minor-league deal elsewhere.

White Sox's Adam Haseley: Dropped from 40-man roster
Rotowire
Haseley was designated for assignment by the White Sox on Tuesday, LaMond Pope of the Chicago Tribune reports.
This move clears out a 40-man roster spot for Paul DeJong, whose one-year, $1.75 million agreement with Chicago has now been made official. Haseley, 27, slashed just .222/.282/.278 over 39 major-league plate appearances in 2023 and also had underwhelming numbers with Triple-A Charlotte with a .264/.338/.386 slash.

White Sox's Adam Haseley: Back in Charlotte
Rotowire
The White Sox optioned Haseley to Triple-A Charlotte on Friday.
Four days after being recalled from Triple-A, Haseley will return to the minors without having gotten a start. The 27-year-old outfielder is slashing .277/.365/.431 across 156 Triple-A plate appearances and will likely continue to bounce between Chicago and Charlotte. Catcher Carlos Perez was recalled in a corresponding move.

White Sox's Adam Haseley: Recalled from Triple-A
Rotowire
The White Sox recalled Haseley from Triple-A Charlotte on Monday.
Haseley was optioned to Charlotte on May 28 and has since slashed .303/.380/.427 with two homers and 10 RBI across 100 plate appearances. However, his major-league history is less than impressive, and he will likely serve as a bench piece while in Chicago. Jose Rodriguez was optioned to Double-A Birmingham in a corresponding move.

White Sox's Adam Haseley: Sent to Triple-A
Rotowire
Chicago optioned Haseley to Triple-A Charlotte on Sunday, James Fegan of The Athletic reports.
Haseley will cede his spot on the 26-man active roster to Eloy Jimenez (appendectomy), who was reinstated from the 10-day injured list ahead of Sunday's game against the Tigers. In 39 plate appearances with the big club this season, Haseley has slashed .222/.282/.278 with one stolen base.

White Sox's Adam Haseley: Records steal, scores run
Rotowire
Haseley stole a base and scored a run as a pinch runner in Wednesday's 7-2 win over the Guardians.
Haseley ran for Yasmani Grandal (hamstring) in the sixth inning. It was a productive substitution by manager Pedro Grifol, as Haseley stole second and scored on a Tim Anderson single. This was Haseley's first steal of the season to go with five runs scored and two RBI through 34 plate appearances over 20 games. He's little more than a defensive substitute and bench bat for the White Sox.

White Sox's Adam Haseley: Gets start in right field
Rotowire
Haseley is starting in right field and batting eighth for the White Sox in Thursday's game versus the Royals.
Gavin Sheets is in the designated hitter spot for this one, opening up right field for Haseley. The 27-year-old is off to an 8-for-22 start during his brief time with the big club in 2023.

White Sox's Adam Haseley: Erupts with four hits
Rotowire
Haseley went 4-for-5 with an RBI, a walk and three runs scored in Sunday's 12-9 win over the Rays.
Haseley received just his second start since he was called up to the big league club two weeks ago and took full advantage of the opportunity. The 27-year-old was put in the leadoff spot and singled in the first, third, fifth and ninth innings and reached via a walk in the seventh. His RBI knock in the ninth tied the game up at nine apiece and he would come around to score on a walkoff three-run blast by Andrew Vaughn. Haseley was a first round pick back in 2017 but has never lived up the profile since debuting in 2019. There's not really much upside with him, but he could move ahead of Oscar Colas on the team's outfield depth chart with Colas struggling to make an impact at the dish. Haseley's big performance Sunday puts him at a slash line of .545/.615/.636 over 13 plate appearances.

White Sox's Adam Haseley: Promoted to MLB
Rotowire
The White Sox purchased the contract of Haseley from Triple-A Charlotte on Sunday.
Haseley will provide a bench option for the White Sox after the club placed Hanser Alberto on the 10-day injured list with a quad strain. A first-round pick back in 2017, Haseley has had limited success in the majors with a career .687 OPS over 130 MLB games.

White Sox's Adam Haseley: Loses spot on 40-man roster
Rotowire
Haseley was outrighted to Triple-A Charlotte on Friday, Daryl Van Schouwen of the Chicago Sun-Times reports.
Haseley had three stints in the majors during 2022 and produced a .571 OPS in 25 plate appearances. He spent most of the year with Charlotte and posted a .239/.305/.411 slash line with 15 home runs, 63 RBI and 18 stolen bases in 110 games.

White Sox's Adam Haseley: Reports back to Triple-A
Rotowire
The White Sox optioned Haseley to Triple-A Charlotte on Monday.
With Luis Robert (personal/wrist) returning from the paternity list Sunday and expected back in the lineup Monday in Seattle, the White Sox didn't have much of a need to keep Haseley and Mark Payton around as depth outfielders. Both were optioned to Triple-A after logging a combined three plate appearances during their brief stints with the big club.

White Sox's Adam Haseley: Called up to majors
Rotowire
The White Sox recalled Haseley from Triple-A Charlotte on Thursday.
Haseley is expected to serve as a depth option in the outfield behind Luis Robert (wrist), Andrew Vaughn, AJ Pollock, Gavin Sheets and Adam Engel while he's up with the big club. Over his previous 23 plate appearances in the big leagues this season, Haseley hit .250 with three runs and two RBI.

White Sox's Adam Haseley: Appears in third straight game
Rotowire
Hasely (illness) went 1-for-1 with an RBI single as a pinch hitter in Sunday's 13-4 win over the Giants.
Haseley was a pinch runner Friday and has now pinch hit in two straight contests, so it appears his illness-related absence has come to a close. The 26-year-old is still unlikely to command much playing time as a depth outfielder. He is batting .250 (5-for-20) with three walks in 11 games this season. Haseley could be at risk of losing his spot on the 26-man roster once Eloy Jimenez (hamstring) or Adam Engel (hamstring) is activated from the injured list.

White Sox's Adam Haseley: Out Sunday with illness
Rotowire
White Sox manager Tony La Russa said Haseley is feeling under the weather and won't be available to start in Sunday's game against the Orioles, Vinnie Duber of AllCHGO.com reports.
Haseley had been in line to receive a start in left field Sunday while regular starter AJ Pollock received a routine off day, but the illness prevented Haseley from cracking the lineup. Instead, Josh Harrison will pick up his first start of the season in the outfield with both Pollock and Haseley on the bench.

White Sox's Adam Haseley: Called up, starting Sunday
Rotowire
The White Sox recalled Haseley from Triple-A Charlotte ahead of Sunday's series finale in Houston, LaMond Pope of the Chicago Tribune reports. He'll start in right field and bat ninth.
Haseley is back with the big club for the first time since late April after he earned another look with Chicago by slashing .297/.355/.542 with 20 extra-base hits and 11 stolen bases in his 39 games upon returning to Triple-A. The White Sox could give Haseley a short-term look against right-handed pitching as a starter in the outfield or at designated hitter, but he'll likely fade into a reserve role as soon as Eloy Jimenez (hamstring) is cleared to return from the 10-day injured list.

White Sox's Adam Haseley: Sent back to minors
Rotowire
The White Sox optioned Haseley to Triple-A Charlotte on Tuesday.
Even with Eloy Jimenez (hamstring) recently landing on the 10-day injured list with a long-term injury and with Luis Robert (groin) considered day-to-day, Haseley still likely found himself behind AJ Pollock, Andrew Vaughn, Adam Engel, Gavin Sheets and Leury Garcia for work in the outfield. Haseley didn't help his case for sticking around in Chicago by going 2-for-10 at the dish following his promotion from Triple-A on April 19. The White Sox reinstated reliever Matt Foster (personal) from the family medical leave list in a corresponding move.

White Sox's Adam Haseley: Earns walk in only plate appearance
Rotowire
Haseley registered a walk in his only plate appearance in the first game of Wednesday's doubleheader versus the White Sox.
Haseley was called up from Triple-A Charlotte to serve as the 29th man for the doubleheader and made his season debut when he replaced Adam Engel in right field during the bottom of the sixth inning. The 26-year-old lefty outfielder only drew one plate appearance during the blowout, but he showed off solid discipline and earned a walk. He'll stick around on the big-league roster for now, as Jimmy Lambert was optioned to Triple-A after the twin bill.

White Sox's Adam Haseley: Returning for doubleheader
Rotowire
The White Sox will call Haseley up from Triple-A Charlotte and have him serve as the 29th man for Wednesday's doubleheader against the Guardians, LaMond Pope of the Chicago Tribune reports.
Haseley failed to earn an Opening Day roster spot after being acquired from the Phillies in late March. He hasn't done much through 10 games for Charlotte, slashing .211/.302/.237. He'll likely be merely an extra option off the bench, though it's possible he starts one of the two games if the White Sox want to avoid overworking their regular outfielders.

White Sox's Adam Haseley: Optioned to Triple-A
Rotowire
Haseley was optioned to Triple-A Charlotte on Friday.
Haseley was already facing a battle to earn a bench spot, but the acquisition of AJ Pollock on Friday pushed him further down the outfield depth chart. He'll need to do much better than the .224/.282/.295 line he managed for Triple-A Lehigh Valley last season if he's to make a case for a return to the majors.
