2026 Chicago White Sox draft
Here’s our collection spot for all the White Sox draft picks in the 2026 class, including the No. 1 overall pick!
Wrong Sox complete sweep, edge White Sox 2-1
As a rule, only scoring two runs in a three-game series isn’t a successful strategy, and this series wasn’t the exception that proved that rule. The White Sox fell behind 2-0 in the fourth when starter Anthony Kay issued a dreaded leadoff walk, followed by a 379-foot shot into the left-field stands by Caleb Durbin. […]
Game Thread: Red Sox (42-48) at White Sox (47-44)
With Garrett Crochet still on the 60-day IL and 10-1 Sonny Gray being saved for the Yankees tomorrow, the White Sox have had the benefit of only facing three back-of-the-rotation lefties this series. Unfortunately, they managed just one run in the first two games, but maybe the third can be the proverbial charm. Today’s Red […]

1910 Near the start of an arduous, 22-game road trip that took them to every American League city but St. Louis, the White Sox dropped a doubleheader nightcap at Yankee Stadium, 3-2, in 11 innings. While that loss in itself wasn’t notable, what came after sure was. The 31-37 Pale Hose proceeded to drop a […]
White Sox Minor League Update: July 8, 2026
Nashville Sounds 6, Charlotte Knights 3After a one-sided victory on Tuesday, the Knights (47-42) dropped a game against the red-hot Sounds (51-38), who managed to even up the series in Charlotte. Rikuu Nishida led off the bottom of the first with a single, and Munetaka Murakami drove a double to deep center that put the […]
White Sox offense takes another night off in 5-0 loss
The White Sox bats have gone comatose. Four singles. That was it. Chicago never seriously threatened a rally in a 5-0 snoozer against Boston, snapping its winning streak of 10 straight home series. The offense has seemingly vanished, producing just one run in 21 innings dating back to the Cleveland series. (Thankfully, the Guardians bailed […]
Game Thread: Red Sox (41-48) at White Sox (47-43)
After getting thumped, 8-1, in Tuesday’s series opener, the White Sox will get a shot at redemption and even the series against the Red Sox. Fortunately for the South Siders, Cleveland also lost, allowing Chicago to maintain its one-game lead atop the American League Central despite the lopsided defeat. It was an ugly loss, but […]
Today in White Sox History: July 8
1928 The White Sox pounded out 20 hits in a 13-7 win at Washington, which remains tied for 71st-most in club history. Everyone in the lineup had at least one safety except for catcher Buck Crouse, who at least walked once in the game. Leadoff man Bill Hunnefield led the way with four hits, going […]
White Sox Minor League Update: July 6-7, 2026
Charlotte Knights 8, Nashville Sounds 2Munetaka Murakami kicked off his Charlotte (47-41) rehab with a single in his first trip, putting two on with nobody out. That set up a first-inning run, courtesy of a Ryan Galanie fly out and a Caden Connor sac fly. Mune stuck around for five innings at first, finishing 1-for-3 […]
Fair or foul? White Sox drop series opener to Red Sox, 8-1
The White Sox (47-43) took one on the chin to open the six-game homestand with the Red Sox (41-48), getting outhit, 11-4, and blown out, 8-1. Only two batters actually got a hit for the Good Guys, with Sam Antonacci snagging three hits, and Kyle Teel driving in the sole run for the South Siders. […]
Game Thread: Red Sox (40-48) at White Sox (47-42)
After splitting a four-game series in Cleveland, the White Sox return to Chicago to wrap up the first half while hopefully maintaining sole possession of first place in the AL Central. Boston comes to town with a three-game win streak after sweeping the Los Angeles Angels, and is playing much better as a whole as […]

White Sox Weekly June 22 – July 5, 2026
In baseball, if you take your eye off the ball for just a split second, you risk swinging right past a pitch down the middle. When spectating, it is just as easy to miss a series or two and have no idea what caused your team to remain atop the division after playing the last […]

1931 In a 12-inning game in St. Louis won by the White Sox over the Browns, 10-8, neither team struck out. It remains the longest game ever played in the majors without a K. Tommy Thomas pitched a sloppy start but left in line for the win, leading 8-7 going into the ninth inning. But […]

1933 The first-ever All-Star Game was played at Comiskey Park. The White Sox won a coin flip with the Cubs for the right to host the game that was the idea of Chicago Tribune sports editor Arch Ward, and was played in connection with the Chicago World’s Fair that started in May along the lakefront. The […]
Southpaws take South Siders to series split with 7-6 nailbiter
The Sox needed length from Erick Fedde today, and he delivered. The Sox needed a lot of big outs from their bullpen, and it delivered. The Sox needed their defense to buckle up and make plays when it counted, and they did. If it felt like they rather deserved to lose last Thursday and Friday’s […]
White Sox Minor League Update: July 5, 2026
Memphis Redbirds 2, Charlotte Knights 1Mason Adams was the bright spot and kept things on lockdown for five, scattering two hits, no walks, and a couple of punchouts. Then Wikelman González took the wheel and promptly got dinged for a run on two singles, a wild pitch, a sac fly, and Memphis was on the […]
Game Thread: White Sox (46-42) at Guardians (47-43) (first pitch delayed by rain)
I don’t have a lot of money, and I’m on a payment plan for my taxes this year. It’s almost done, and not particularly bad — just another bill at the end of the month. Except for several months now, I’ve been paying a different kind of bill at the end of each week, one […]

1910 In the seventh game ever played there, Comiskey Park saw its first wild pitch and first extra-inning game. The White Sox lost, 6-5, in 10 innings. Joe Lake of the Browns and Chicago’s Jim Scott both threw wild pitches in the game. A total of 5,200 fans showed up on a Tuesday makeup game […]
White Sox Minor League Update: July 4, 2026
We never really did a rundown of the first-half finishes for the full-season affiliates, so while we’re about 10 games into the second half, a quick look at how things ended up in the first half: Charlotte Knights 8, Memphis Redbirds 6As they say, you can’t stop the Charlotte Knights (46-40), you can only hope […]
White Sox pick up a big win in Cleveland to get back to a tie for first
After two nights of being walked off, the White Sox reversed course, pushing to a 3-1 lead late and then locking the win up with zero drama. In the process, Sean Burke dazzled through six with a career-high strikeout night, Colson Montgomery celebrated a year since his debut by putting two of the three runs […]
Game Thread: White Sox (45-42) at Guardians (47-42)
When, in the course of human events, it becomes necessary for one fan base to dissolve the contractual bands which have connected them with their bullpen, and to assume, among the powers of baseball, the separate and equal station to which the laws of nature and of nature’s commissioner entitle them — first place in […]

1911Ty Cobb brought a 40-game hit streak into a game facing Ed Walsh, and the White Sox sace shut him down at 0-for-4 in a 7-3 win over the Tigers. Walsh earned his 14th win and chiseled his ERA down to 0.55 (!). Interestingly, he gave up 10 hits in his complete-game win — just […]
Weather delay, Seranthony Domínguez doom White Sox
After both the Cleveland Guardians and Chicago White Sox had no issues scoring last night, there was no doubt that this game would be much more likely to end as a pitcher’s duel. True to form, the game ended up being exactly what most fans expected — until a rain delay changed the fortunes of […]
