Noah Schultz opened the game by giving up a single, erasing it with a double play, and then giving up a solo shot to Shea Langeliers before he could record the third out.
Still, Schultz didn't walk anybody, and he threw 13 of his 16 pitches for strikes. If a guy who came into the game with 29 walks in 48 major league innings wanted positive reinforcement for staying in the strike zone, the rest of the game rewarded him for it.

Hello, and welcome to the 2026 White Sox MLB draft tracker! Below, you’ll find every pick the White Sox make, with links to our individual stories on site for the five picks in the first four rounds. Right off the bat, the White Sox dispelled any notion that they would zag instead of zig, picking […]
Just like that, the White Sox may have taken their position in the catbird seat of the draft (top pick overall, dealing for an extra sandwich pick after the first round) and put an outrageous amount of distance between themselves and the runner-up, striking again with a massive talent nab in the 12th round, nabbing […]
Surprise, surprise, the White Sox have struck some gold in the 11th round, nabbing No. 162 MLB prospect Kyle Casteel of Butler (Pa.) H.S. with the No. 315 pick in the 2026 MLB draft. Particularly given the timing, coming after an hour break in the draft and following three straight college value picks. The White […]
The White Sox selected Landon Thome, the son of Hall of Famer Jim Thome, with the No. 34 overall pick in the 2026 MLB Draft. The high school shortstop from Nazareth Academy joins No. 1 pick Roch Cholowsky.

The 2026 MLB Draft kicked off earlier today, as the Chicago White Sox took UCLA shortstop Roch Cholowsky with the No. 1 overall pick. Milwaukee took shortstop Trey Ebel — the brother of Brewers’ 2025 No. 32 overall pick Brady Ebel — with their first pick at No. 25. For our full draft preview from […]
With a victory, the White Sox will enter the All-Star break in first place in their division, for the first time since 2021. They could accomplish that without a victory too, but it would require help from the Marlins against the Guardians, and a win would also give the Sox their sixth sweep of the season.
It will surprise no one present here that all five of their prior sweeps came at home as well.

For all of the surprises we’ve gotten out of a wonderful first half of play from the 2026 White Sox, it feels perhaps a little fitting that they’ll head into the break by addressing (or at least attempting to address) one of the premier uncertainties that will have a heavy hand and determining whether we […]
It was a back-to-back, strong-armed outfielders move from the White Sox in the seventh round, nabbing Clay Burdette from Xavier University with the No. 195 pick in the 2026 MLB draft. Just three years ago, Burdette was regarded as one of the three best shortstops in Ohio, but blossomed as a right fielder after a […]
The White Sox dipped back in to the high school bats arena in the sixth round, selecting 2026 New Jersey Player of the Year Alex Weingartner out of St. Augustine Prep (N.J.) H.S. with the No. 166 pick in the 2026 MLB draft. Weingartner was a pitcher who was hitting 95-96 mph on the mound […]
The Chicago White Sox selected Roch Cholowsky, shortstop out of UCLA, with the first overall pick in Saturday's 2026 MLB Draft and with that event over, all eyes turn to the prospects who will make up next year's class.
The Chicago White Sox selected UCLA shortstop Roch Cholowsky with the No. 1 overall pick of the 2026 Major League Baseball Draft on Saturday in Philadelphia. Cholowsky has been an enormously praised prospect for a few years and was viewed as the clear favorite to be the top pick of the 2026 MLB Draft before…
Imperfect but promising arms continue as the theme for the White Sox in the 2026 draft, as Cal Scolari is the next White Sox pick, as the 137th selection. Due to significant injury history — TJS in high school, missing his senior year and freshman year in college, and has pitched in just one college […]
The first half wraps up today! And not a moment too soon. The Athletics have dropped eight straight, which has cratered their playoff hopes. It would be nice to end the first half with a win and have some positive mojo heading into the break. The starter today will be J.T. Ginn. He’ll be looking […]
Given that the White Sox held the the top draft pick, and their trade for the 34th-overall pick gave them an additional pick before the second round and the biggest draft pool, it’d be weird if the writers evaluating teams on their first four rounds of drafting couldn’t find reasons for excitement about how the…

In December, the White Sox won the right to pick first overall in a deep 2026 MLB Draft, which everyone assumed at the time — correctly — set them up to add the long-ballyhooed UCLA shortstop Roch Cholowsky. Friday night, they traded 2023 first-round selection Jacob Gonzalez , hauling in the 34th overall pick to provide scouting director Mike Shirley a bonus pool of over $20 million; the largest in MLB history.

We interrupt the barrage of draft posts to inform you that on the same day the White Sox drafted Roch Cholowsky in the first round of the 2026 MLB draft, the White Sox’s first-round pick in the 2025 MLB draft returned to action. Billy Carlson made an appearance with the ACL White Sox on Friday,…

The White Sox added a potential cornerstone player by selecting UCLA shortstop Daniel Roch Cholowsky with the No. 1 overall pick in the 2026 MLB draft, with the toss-up between Cholowsky and prep SS Grady Emerson apparently lasting deep into Saturday morning. But that all turned out to be a ruse, as Cholowsky admitted that […]
The Thome legacy continues on the South Side, as Chicago used their newly-acquired 34th overall pick to select infielder Landon Thome, the son of White Sox legend and Hall-of-Famer, Jim Thome. In a swap on Friday evening, GM Chris Getz traded IF Jacob Gonzalez and RHP Brandon Eisert to the Pittsburgh Pirates in exchange for […]
The White Sox are simply addicted to middle infielders at this point, using their third selection of three so far in the draft to snag Magnolia Heights (Miss.) H.S. second baseman Cole Prosek with the 41st pick in the MLB draft. Prosek is a bat-first infielder who just this year started catching, which adds an […]
It’s back-to-back arms for the White Sox, winding up Day 1 of the draft by picking Eric Segura, a swingman righty out of Oregon State University with the 105th selection. This is the first lower-reaching pick the White Sox have made on the day — Segura was the 196th-ranked play on MLB’s draft board — […]
At last, the White Sox select a non-middle infielder, adding 21-year-old righthander Joey Volchko to the 2026 draft class. Volchko originally went to Stanford before transferring to Georgia, where he has been a dominant addition to the Bulldogs starting rotation. The righty is currently listed as the 68th-best prospect via MLB’s rankings, making him the […]
Roch Cholowsky was the No. 1 pick in the 2026 MLB draft on Saturday afternoon. Cholowsky and his family hosted a draft party at Trophy Bar in Chandler, Arizona and were seated in comfortable chairs in front of multiple television…
Nashville Sounds 4, Charlotte Knights 2The Knights (48-44) put up 14 hits against 10 from the Sounds (53-29), but Charlotte somehow scored just two runs, losing their third game of the series, 4-2. Seriously, it feels like you would have to try not to score if you have that many hits, but as we’ve learned […]
Historically speaking, the White Sox haven’t generated much value from their second-round picks. Terry Forster massed 20.4 WAR over his playing career, including 12 with the White Sox, and you have to go down to Jake Petricka and his 1.8 WAR to find the next player who can say the same. Jeff Weaver and Johnny…
