Latest news and updates about the White Sox
The Rays were hoping that this afternoon’s game would continue their five-game winning streak, and also complete the sweep against the White Sox before they headed to Pittsburgh for their weekend series against Paul Skenes and the Pirates. To get there, they’d have Steven Matz on the mound, squaring off against Jordan Leasure for the […]
The White Sox will be trying to salvage a win in a series where they’ve been pretty well thumped in the first two games, and the pitching staff may give a try at keeping the Rays to fewer than eight runs while they’re at it. This will be the first game where there’s no one […]
For the first time in 15 years, the Rays win on Jackie Robinson Day Donning the light blue Burst jerseys for the first time, Tampa Bay took the field with everyone in uniform wearing number 42, celebrating Jackie Robinson breaking the color barrier on this day in 1947. Junior Caminero would provide the offense to […]
Tonight’s game felt almost like déjà vu from Tuesday. The Rays (10-7) once again put up eight runs while a prominent Chicago prospect made their major league debut, dealing the White Sox (6-12) back-to-back losses, 8-3. Righthander Sean Burke was doing all right through four innings despite giving up a solo shot to Junior Caminero […]
Jacksonville Jumbo Shrimp 3, Charlotte Knights 2The Knights (7-9) struggled in high-leverage situations, finishing 1-for-12 with runners in scoring position. As a result, they dropped a close game against the Jumbo Shrimp (9-8). Knights starter Duncan Davitt only pitched 2 1/3 innings, but he didn’t allow much damage. Davitt allowed a walk and a pair […]
Happy Jackie Robinson Day to all who celebrate! The White Sox (6-11) dropped the first game of a three-game set with the Rays Tuesday behind Noah Schultz in his MLB debut, and righthander Sean Burke will take the mound in an effort to create any form of positive momentum for the team. As it stands, […]
1915 It was the biggest shutout in team history, as the White Sox pasted St. Louis, 16-0. The Pale Hose put up seven runs before the home Browns even got to bat, and scored in every inning but the third, seventh and eighth. It was just a 15-hit assault with no homers, so how did […]
The Kansas City Royals lose another low-scoring affair, wasting six scoreless innings from starter Cole Ragans. The Royals have scored two or fewer runs in six of their last seven games, but managed a pair of wins when starters Kris Bubic and Michael Wacha blanked the White Sox on Friday and Saturday, with seven and […]
It might not have been the perfect performance he hoped for, but Noah Schultz pushed through a rough first frame of his major league debut to finish his 4 1/3-inning outing strongly, despite the White Sox (6 -11) dropping the first game of the series to the Rays (9-7), 8-5. Schultz needed 33 pitches to […]
Jacksonville Jumbo Shrimp 3, Charlotte Knights 0’Twas the series opener against the Jacksonville Jumbo Shrimp, not a run was scored — hardly any hits! Charlotte’s lackadaisical stat line tells the whole story. Three hits, three RBIs, and a whopping 13 strikeouts sprinkled throughout the lineup. Somehow, Jarred Kelenic, who’s barely hanging onto his professional career, […]
The Rays took the first game of this series against the White Sox, with Shane McClanahan picking up his first win in well over a year while his teammates gathered twelve hits and six walks. Every player was on base at least once. This game received national attention because of the White Sox starter: Noah […]
If you told someone you were writing a script and had the White Sox at 6-10 a tenth of the way into the season, they’d reply, “Sounds about right. Extrapolates to a normal season for them.” If you then said that half the victories were against the defending AL champions, that same person would say, […]
The Chicago White Sox went 2–5 this week. In many ways, that alone could serve as the recap. But even in a rough stretch, there were a few bright spots worth noting, and a few areas that weren’t so encouraging. Those themes break down into two familiar buckets: hitting and pitching. PITCHING In the interest […]
The White Sox pulled the trigger on another early-season shuffle, packing off Lenyn Sosa to Toronto for outfielder Jordan Rich and the usual bag of mystery cash or future guy. Sosa, 26, leaves the South Side after five seasons of fits and starts. Signed as a kid out of Venezuela in 2016, up for air […]
The last instalment in the Top 40 series on this off-day is my list of prospects I was somewhat higher on and would have either had on or in the mix for the back of my list alone. As Tom noted on his list, these are deep(er) sleepers, generally low probability, but usually they’re be […]

We’ve spent plenty of time talking ourselves into hope. Convincing ourselves that this rebuild will be different, that this time the plan will actually resemble a plan, that the next good White Sox team won’t just be a two-year window duct-taped together with waiver claims and good vibes. But let’s be honest, hope is fragile […]
Michael Wacha was in control all night in a win on Saturday, writes Anne Rogers. Since joining the Royals in 2024, Wacha has recorded a quality start in all seven outings against the White Sox. He’s pitched to a 1.31 ERA in that stretch, and has tossed seven scoreless frames in four of those seven […]
It feels unbelievable to say, but we are already almost halfway through April, and what’s more, we are almost three weeks into this season. We’ve been seeing a lot of injuries, which is nothing new, and also still the case this week. We’re also seeing baseball teams having a very short leash with struggling players. […]
Charlotte Knights 13, Memphis Redbirds 4Making his first start in Triple-A upon being sent down from the big leagues, righthander Shane Smith allowed three runs on four hits in four innings of work, but thankfully the Charlotte offense was able to make up for it as the Knights (7-7) defeated the Redbirds (11-4), 13-4. Twelve […]
After a three-hour rain delay, the Kansas City Royals blew a lead, dropping the series finale to the Chicago White Sox, 6-5. The first three games all had final scores of 2-0, but this one was a fun, back and forth affair. The White Sox got on the board first, in the second inning. After […]
The Kansas City Royals have won back-to-back games by a final score of 2-0, after losing the opening game of the series, 2-0. In the series and home stand finale, can someone finally score more than two runs? Noah Cameron will go for the Royals, the lefty has had two great starts to begin his […]
Needless to say, the pitching hasn’t been the problem for the White Sox as of late. The staff has a 1.27 ERA and sub-one WHIP over the last nine games … during which time the ineptitude of the offense has led them to just a 3-6 record. The sluggishness is to be expected. We’ve seen […]
I was in Los Angeles for an MLB The Show tournament, eating dinner at my hotel with my eyes glued to the TV on the other side of the bar, when the Chicago White Sox drafted Noah Schultz, an 18-year-old left-handed reliever from Oswego East High School, for the 26th overall pick. “That’s my rival […]
Louisville Redbirds 6, Charlotte Knights 4The Redbirds have done a number on several Knights relievers this series, and this time it was Tyler Schweitzer’s turn to face the music. Schweitzer earned the loss after giving up the go-ahead, three-run homer off a changeup right down the pipe. Korey Lee attempted to rally a comeback by […]
