1901 A 7-0 win over Detroit made it three straight shutouts for the White Sox. The Tigers were the victims of all three whitewashes: Clark Griffith’s 2-0 win on July 31, Nixey Callahan’s 4-0 one-hitter (the first in Sox history) on August 1, and Roy Patterson’s 7-0 two-hitter to end the run. Both of Patterson’s […]
It’s been a long time since the White Sox approached the trade deadline as a buyer, and thus it’s been a long time since they made a trade they needed to get right, and right away at that.

A little more than six years after they gave him the highest bonus of any second-round pick, the White Sox released Jarred Kelley. Kelley, the 47th pick back in 2020, received $3 million from the Sox as part of a top-heavy strategy for the five-round draft, but the hard-throwing righty never found professional traction, as… The post White Sox Minor Keys: Aug. 1, 2026 appeared first on Sox Machine .

Seattle did a bit of buying and selling while resolving its rotation logjam
For the second game in a row, White Sox pitchers held the more-or-less-league-average offense of the Rays to one run, but this time the hitters forgot to send missiles out of the park. Or, much of any in the park. Still despite being shut out, there were some good things to grow on. Using an […]
If you love pitching and defense, this was the perfect game for you. Then again, there was not much need for defense in this contest as Drew Rasmussen and four relievers struck out 16 White Sox while scattering five singles in this 1-0 victory. This was a tremendous and needed bounceback from last night’s contest […]
The Tampa Bay Rays had a 24-year-old rookie who was designated for assignment by his original team in February, batting cleanup for them on Saturday. And Victor Mesa Jr. isn't some crazy player development success story either, he's just...fairly serviceable. Which is to say that this Rays team with the best record in the American League makes its bones by keeping runs off the board, as demonstrated by two-time All-Star Drew Rasmussen and four relievers teaming up for a five-hitter; the seve...
