The White Sox offense is a beautiful balance of the classic and modern
Inside the Chicago White Sox, there are two wolves. The first is the three true outcome wolf. The South Side Smashing Machine is currently fifth in team slugging, ninth in on-base percentage and fourth in strikeouts. The latter is frustrating at times, as evidenced when Ozzie Guillén’s frustrations boiled over with Colson Montgomery after Wednesday’s […]
White Sox Minor League Update: June 5, 2026
Charlotte Knights 4, Durham Bulls 3Eager to post double-digit runs for the third straight night, Dru Baker got the night started with his sixth bomb this season against his former team to break open the game in the third: Your browser does not support the video tag. Charlotte and Durham traded three runs apiece over […]
Anthony Kay, White Sox defense struggle in loss to Phillies
The game was played on Friday, but the Chicago White Sox certainly made it look like a “Throwback Thursday” in an 8-6 loss in the opening game of their series with the Philadelphia Phillies. It started out well for the White Sox, as they struck first in the second inning thanks to a two-out rally. […]
Game Thread: White Sox (33-29) at Phillies (33-29)
Unfortunately for the Chicago White Sox, the month of June did not start off as well as May ended. Now is where the real dog days of the MLB season may or may not catch up with the South Siders. The next 12 games for the White Sox come against four clubs with a combined […]
Today in White Sox History: June 5
1919 With the score tied, 1-1, deep into a game at the Polo Grounds facing the Yankees, Eddie Collins belted an inside-the-park grand slam that rolled into the very deep reaches of right-center field. Eddie Cicotte completed the win, improving to 10-1 on the season. The White Sox went three games up in the American […]
White Sox Minor League Update: June 4, 2026
Charlotte Knights 11, Durham Bulls 6Another night, another double-digit outburst for Charlotte (32-28). The Knights wasted zero time as Braden Montgomery and Caden Connor drew back-to-back walks to open the first, Korey Lee watched strike three, and Dustin Harris promptly laced a single to plate Montgomery. 1-0, Knights. Durham answered in the bottom half, but […]
May 2026 White Sox check-up: The South Siders are finally gaining respect
The vibes couldn’t have been higher for the White Sox in May, which sets the stage for Chris Getz to do almost anything he wants without upsetting fans. The crew went 18-10 and came out of the month with a positive run differential for the first time since last July, when Chicago went on a […]
Munetaka Murakami’s monster May earns AL Rookie of the Month honors
When the White Sox signed Munetaka Murakami, there was hope. There was optimism. There was even a healthy amount of “what if?” What there probably wasn’t was “first rookie since 1901 to hit 20 home runs before June.” Yet here we are. The American League announced Wednesday that Murakami has been named AL Rookie of […]
Today in White Sox History: June 4
1959 The 1959 season was filled with extra-inning games for the White Sox, including SIX against Baltimore. There were also three true marathon games, of 17, 17, and 18 innings — ALL against the Orioles. This was the first one that went at least 17 innings. In this game, Earl Torgeson’s solo home run off of Jerry […]
White Sox Minor League Update: June 3, 2026
Charlotte Knights 18, Durham Bulls 7 (11 innings)I can assure you that the score is not a typo. The Knights (31-28) really scored 11 runs in the 11th inning to pull away with a victory by a double-digit margin in extras. As a result, the Knights have a 2-0 series lead in Durham against the […]
Erick Fedde, White Sox blank Twins to salvage series finale
After two frustrating losses to begin the series, the White Sox responded exactly how good teams are supposed to: They punched back. Erick Fedde spun five shutout innings, the offense piled on 12 hits and eight walks, and the Sox steamrolled the Twins. Sure, they lost the series, but they leave Minnesota with a +11 […]
Game Thread: White Sox (32-29) at Twins (29-33)
The White Sox limp into the finale of this three-game set looking to avoid a sweep before finally getting a much-needed off-day. The timing couldn’t be better, because after Minnesota, the schedule turns downright cruel. Chicago’s next 12 games come against the Phillies, Braves, Dodgers, and Yankees. Every one of those clubs is above .500, […]
White Sox? Where did these guys come from?
When James Russell Lowell wrote the opening line, “What is so rare as a day in June?” it was well before big league baseball existed — he and Abner Doubleday were both born in 1819. If Lowell were to pen “The Vision of Sir Launfal” today, the first line would probably stretch to “What is […]
Today in White Sox History: June 3
1943 Holding a slim 5-4 lead in the top of the ninth at Fenway Park, the White Sox rallied to load the bases with two outs. With Mike Tresh at the plate, Don Kolloway broke from third base and scored before Red Sox pitcher Oscar Judd could deliver the ball home, with Luke Appling stealing […]
White Sox Minor League Update: June 2, 2026
Charlotte Knights 6, Durham Bulls 1The Knights (30-28) spotted Durham a freebie in the early going, then unloaded a five-double assault and let the arms take it from there. Durham pushed across its only run in the third off Hagen Smith, who plunked the leadoff man, served up a double, and then watched old friend […]
Davis Martin’s struggles led to another White Sox loss in Minnesota
The White Sox have lost back-to-back games to the Twins, falling 6-4 tonight. Davis Martin fought with his command all night, unable to make it through five innings. While the offense didn’t provide, the poor pitching performance certainly was a catalyst for a tough loss. The bullpen took control in the late innings, but loading […]
Game Thread: White Sox (32-28) at Twins (28-33)
After a five-game winning streak to end the month of May, the Chicago White Sox found themselves on the wrong end of the result yesterday as they lost the first of three games in Minnesota. Monday night was an outlier compared to recent results, as it was the first time in a week they surrendered […]
Mark my words: White Sox won’t let the June gauntlet interfere with their magic
White Sox fans, you’ve been hurt, and don’t I know it. You hesitate to recognize the 2026 White Sox as postseason contenders, which, based on the trauma of the 2024 season alone, is valid. You don’t trust the front office or the organization as a whole, and may harbor anger towards the team. You’re exhausted […]

Today in White Sox History: June 2
1925 The White Sox scored 15 runs vs. Detroit — and lost. Ty Cobb was a villain, lining a one-out, full-count pitch from Ted Blankenship out of Tiger Stadium in the bottom of the ninth for the walk-off win. It was the second straight walk-off win for the Tigers over the White Sox, losing on […]
Four runs, then four more: Twins flatten White Sox 9-6
The White Sox had their shot early, but two brutal four-run frames from the Twins turned this one into a slog. The Good Guys wasted a golden chance right away. Sam Antonacci reached on a boot, Miguel Vargas doubled, and suddenly it was second and third, nobody out in the top of the first. Then […]
Game Thread: White Sox (32-27) at Twins (27-33)
The vibes on the South Side have shifted in a hurry. The White Sox enter tonight’s matchup with the Twins riding a 6-1 week that included a statement sweep of the Tigers. Now comes another test against an AL Central rival, as Chicago heads to Minnesota looking to keep the momentum rolling. The challenge won’t […]
Canseco, Pods, Palka and friends: The White Sox Alumni Home Run Derby is delightfully unhinged
The White Sox revealed the lineup for their Postgame Alumni Home Run Derby, set to follow the July 11 contest with the A’s at Rate Field. Six familiar names, all ready to take their hacks. The group features a grab bag of franchise favorites and power hitters from across several eras of White Sox baseball: […]
White Sox Weekly: May 25-31, 2026
It may have been a short week for some with Memorial Day, but for the White Sox it was a full week without an off-day. And that busy week proved fruitful: For the first time since May 2023, the Chicago club enjoyed a winning month — a month that was capped with a 6-1 week. […]
