The Toronto Blue Jays acquired infielder Lenyn Sosa from the Chicago White Sox on Monday in exchange for minor league outfielder Jordan Rich and a player to be named later or cash.

To open a spot on the 40-man roster, the Blue Jays transferred right-hander Shane Bieber (elbow) to the 60-day injured list.

Sosa, 26, was batting .212 with three RBIs in 12 games for the White Sox this season. In parts of five seasons, all in Chicago, Sosa is a .245 career hitter with 37 home runs and 128 RBIs in 315 games. He hit 22 homers and drove in 75 runs, both career highs, last season.

Rich, 18, was drafted in the 17th round by the Blue Jays in 2025 out of high school in Florida. A left-handed hitter, Rich was assigned to the Arizona Complex League.
