Latest news and updates about the White Sox
Earlier this week, the White Sox designated left-hander Tyler Gilbert for assignment to free up a spot on their 40-man roster for Tommy Pham. Gilbert went unclaimed on waivers, and today, Chicago sent him outright to Triple-A Charlotte. Having been outrighted twice before in his career, he had the right to reject the assignment, but […]
The good thing about this week’s series in the land of the Crawford Boxes and the choo-choo is that both Sean Burke and Davis Martin pitched extremely well, a big turnaround from their recent starts and a good sign for the stretch run. The bad thing — well, besides nearly the entire offense — is […]
Luis Castillo attempt to help the White Sox salvage a split looked good early. Or at least through two batters. But after a pair of strikeouts, Castillo lost a 10-pitch battle to Isaac Paredes with a two-out walk, then watched Jose Altuve send a head-high fastball over the Crawford Boxes for a 2-0 hole that better summed up the innings that lay ahead.

Travis MacGregor came within one pitch of an immaculate inning in the top of the first Aug. 23 at PNC Field in northeastern Pennsylvania against the Charlotte Knights, Triple-A affiliate of the Chicago White Sox. Forced to make a spot start for the Scranton/Wilkes-Barre RailRiders, the 28-year-old right-hander struck out Rikuu Nishida on three pitches […]
Following up on Drew Romo’s inability to score the go-ahead run on a single in the eighth inning on Wednesday, Will Venable was willing to call the lack of a pinch runner a mistake. “That’s one of those where if you could do it all over again, I’m pinch-running for him,” Venable told reporters before… The post First Pitch: White Sox at Astros appeared first on Sox Machine .
Tristan Peters won AL Rookie of the Month after a .320 August with six homers and a five-game homer streak. The All-Star is hitting .279 with 12 HR for the first-place White Sox. The post Tristan Peters Named AL Rookie of the Month After Breakout August appeared first on On Tap Sports Net .
TODAY’S GAME: The first-place Houston Astros (71-69), who hold a slim 2.0-game lead in the AL West, will host the Chicago White Sox (73-66) for the finale of their four-game series today at Daikin Park.

The White Sox will need to find some better offense this afternoon than they’ve shown so far in the series, and it may be a challenging assignment. That’s because after failing to feast on pitchers just back from Tommy John surgery — scoring eight runs in three games — they now have to deal with […]
Chicago White Sox manager Will Venable dropped honest takes after his team fell to the Houston Astros by a score of 2-0 thanks to an eyebrow-raising eighth inning. Head-scratching decisions in the eighth inning of a scoreless game cost the Chicago White Sox a pivotal matchup against the Houston Astros in the 2026 MLB season. After the game, there was a lot for manager Will Venable to answer for, and he did so with clear messages for Tristan Peters and Drew Romo , whose baserunning was put un...
It didn’t take long — especially when watching Birmingham’s box scores — to see that something had changed with the run-scoring environment in Minor League Baseball in 2026. As the season winds down, Baseball America’s J.J. Cooper put it all in context, and came away calling it “the greatest offensive explosion the minors have seen… The post White Sox Minor Keys: Sept. 2, 2026 appeared first on Sox Machine .
For some time now, the Chicago White Sox have held the No. 2 seed in the American League playoff picture. Despite having the league’s fourth-best overall record, Chicago has maintained that position because the three teams ahead of them all come from the American League East.

Here's a Twins news roundup as Minnesota prepares for a three-game series against the Chicago White Sox.
There are frustrating losses, and then there is whatever the White Sox subjected us to on Wednesday night. Chicago wasted nearly every opportunity it received, went 1-for-7 with runners in scoring position and handed Houston the only two runs it needed in a maddening 2-0 defeat. The lone silver lining came elsewhere, as Cleveland also […]
Thank goodness for the Blue Jays. Their 11-0 blanking of the Cleveland Guardians was in the books halfway through this one, which will make it a little easier for the White Sox to sleep tonight after suffering vapor lock in both halves of the eighth inning. In the top of it, they had runners on the corners with nobody out, and bases loaded with one out, and couldn't convert on either. In the bottom half, a Chase Meidroth error-turned-hometown-single forced Sean Newcomb to record four outs, a...
At this rate, Nelson Velazquez might just become “Mr. September”. For the second time this week, he’d come through in a major way. Astros 2 White Sox 0. Wednesday Night was a scoreless affair until the 8th inning. Hayden Wesneski was nothing short of sensational. Seven innings, and only a single hit allowed. […]
The Chicago White Sox head into Game 3 of a four-game series against the Houston Astros on Wednesday night at 73-65, leading the AL Central by three games over the Cleveland Guardians. Their three-year climb from consecutive 100-loss seasons has produced a potent offense, 660 runs scored, and a plus-45 run differential. Yet one structural […] The post Fatal flaw that will doom White Sox’s chances of winning AL Central appeared first on ClutchPoints .
Tanner McDougal’s return to the White Sox didn’t result in a second chance. He was recalled when rosters expanded on Sept. 1, and optioned back to Charlotte on Sept. 2 in order to make room for Davis Martin, who is returning from the injured list for his right middle finger blister. The last time Martin… The post Pregame notes: Davis Martin rejoins White Sox for final push appeared first on Sox Machine .

The Houston Astros and Chicago White Sox already had plenty happening on the field, but one awkward broadcast moment quickly stole the spotlight.

Even if the eventual return of Kyle Teel forces Jake Rogers out of the White Sox’s catching mix at some point this month, he’ll have made his mark on the season in two ways: A bunch of White Sox sported mustaches and goatees with varying levels of success on Tuesday to mark the start of… The post Spare Parts: For better or worse, it’s mustache month for the White Sox appeared first on Sox Machine .
