Clutch hits remain buried treasure for White Sox
The bats have vanished at the worst possible moment. Chicago squandered scoring opportunities in consecutive innings, went 1-for-8 with runners in scoring position and fell to the Pirates, 4-2, on Wednesday night. Pittsburgh takes the series, but at least the Guardians did us a favor by losing to Baltimore, so the AL Central gap holds […]
White Sox Minor League Update: September 9, 2026
Charlotte Knights 5, Buffalo Bisons 4The Knights (76-64) found a way to rally after a tough top of the eighth for the bullpen against the Bisons (65-73). As a result, Charlotte won a game with plenty of ups and downs. Knights starter Jonathan Cannon, 26, built on his last start, when he pitched 5 1/3 […]
Game Thread: Pirates (72-73) at White Sox (75-69)
A bit of housekeeping before tonight’s game: The White Sox placed righthander Tyler Davis on the Bereavement/Family Medical Emergency List and recalled lefthander Chris Murphy from Triple-A Charlotte. After getting shellacked, 9-3, last night, the South Siders could use a convincing win tonight. Davis Martin gets the ball for Chicago as it attempts to protect […]
Today in White Sox History: September 9
1913 With a solo homer leading off the top of the second inning, Ping Bodie snapped a 26 ⅓-inning scoring drought for the White Sox. The streak began during a 1-0 win over the St. Louis Browns on September 5 and lasted through 4-0 and 1-0 whitewashes to the Browns the next two days and […]
Pirates plunder the White Sox in series opener, 9-3
It was a one-sided slugfest on the South Side as the Pirates (72-73) teed off on the White Sox (75-69), mashing 18 hits and scoring nine to defeat the South Siders in Tuesday’s series opener, 9-3. Sean Burke relinquished a career-high seven runs in tonight’s start, and only lasted 1 1/3 frames before surrendering the […]
Dash of the Titans
The Dash spent most of Tuesday night trying to dig out of an early six-run hole. With one swing in the ninth and one more big hit in the 10th, they completed the comeback. Winston-Salem erased a three-run deficit on Javier Mogollón’s two-out homer in the bottom of the ninth before Nick McLain delivered a […]
White Sox Minor League Update: September 8, 2026
Charlotte Knights 4, Buffalo Bisons 1The Knights (75-64) used the long ball and a dominant outing from Drew Thorpe to cruise to a 4-1 victory. Tim Elko kicked off the scoring with a solo shot in the bottom of the second, giving Charlotte an early 1-0 lead. Junior Perez gave Charlotte some breathing room in […]
Game Thread: Pirates (71-73) at White Sox (75-68)
After a much-needed series win at home against the Minnesota Twins, the White Sox face the Pittsburgh Pirates for the only time this season, a three-game set before the Good Guys head down to St. Louis over the weekend. The White Sox flexed Sunday into a bullpen game, because of course, and shifted righthander Sean […]
South Side Sox Reacts: Who do you want to avoid?
Welcome to SB Nation Reacts, a survey of fans across MLB. Throughout the year we ask questions of the most plugged-in White Sox fans and fans across the country. Not everyone is comfortable with presumptions, but, oh well, that’s what you’re faced with this week. The White Sox are in comfortable position in terms of […]
Today in White Sox History: September 8
1901 At South Side Park, the first-place White Sox treated 19,800 fans — the largest crowd the American League (in its first year as a major league) sees all season — to a thriller. In the bottom of the ninth, down 3-2 to the Boston Americans, catcher Billy Sullivan and pinch-hitter Nixey Callahan singled, and […]
Kannapolis Cannon Ballers 2026 Season Review
It was a steady and encouraging season for the Kannapolis Cannon Ballers, who finished 2026 in third place in the Carolina League South with a 71-61 overall record. After going 33-33 and finishing fifth in the first half, the Ballers found another gear, going 38-28 and climbing to second place in the second half. Kannapolis […]

Today in White Sox History: September 7
1901 With a three-game lead in the race for the pennant, the White Sox hosted the second place Boston Americans at South Side Park in the start of a four-game set. A three-run rally in the fourth, fueled by one of Herm McFarland’s two doubles on the day, led to a 4-1 win. Nixey Callahan […]
White Sox Minor League Update: September 6, 2026
Gwinnett Stripers 5, Charlotte Knights 2Both the Knights (74-64) and Stripers (70-67) scored in the first, and came up with five hits each in the game, but Charlotte struck out 18 times as a team and were never able to get any runners in scoring position, losing in back-to-back nights to split the series. Both of […]
RISP finally leads to reward, White Sox take series from Twins
Call it a winning streak! Not for the White Sox. Taking two of three from an AL Central rival in what wound up being emphatic 10-1 fashion is always satisfying, but it wasn’t two in a row. No, folks, I’m celebrating me and my absolute heater of 10 wins in 11 recap tries. Put me […]
Game Thread: Twins (68-74) at White Sox (74-68)
The White Sox are set to conclude their season series against the Minnesota Twins under the bright lights of Sunday Night Baseball. Bryan Hudson will be the opener for the Sox, his eighth time appearing in the role this year. He’s been largely effective to this point, allowing three earned runs over eight innings leading […]
South Side Sox Reacts: High-80s wins are right on target
It was a dangerous question to ask, with the Cleveland Guardians still on Chicago’s heels. No one wants to be a curse, certainly not with a Reacts question. But we were bold, asking you to pinpoint a wins total for the White Sox with just a month remaining. So far, 60% of you are right […]
Today in White Sox History: September 6
1903 Doc White of the White Sox hurled a one-hitter in beating Cleveland, 1-0, in 10 innings in Chicago. It would be the first of five one-hitters thrown by White between 1903 and 1908 without ever throwing a no-hitter. Cleveland’s only hit was by third baseman Bill Bradley, a double. White also threw one-hitters against the Browns in 1904, […]
White Sox Minor League Update: September 5, 2026
Gwinnett Stripers 5, Charlotte Knights 3Not only did the Stripers (69-67) outhit the Knights (74-63), 8-6, but a bullpen implosion in the eighth allowed Gwinnett to take the lead and ultimately win the game, 5-3. The good news is that Charlotte is still hanging in second place, on the cusp of a playoff berth. The […]
Bullpened, again: White Sox can’t sustain early power, fall to Minny, 6-4
If you skipped the game thread text tonight, first of all, shame on you, our staff busts their knuckles prepping game previews for you. But second, I am your host tonight, channeling several of our writers who are tonight, together, at the ballgame. (Did they invite me? I’ll never tell. No, of course they did. […]
Game Thread: Twins (67-74) at White Sox (74-67)
It’s just unfortunate luck that several South Side Sox writers chose this game — BRO VEST NIGHT or some such silliness — as 2026’s game to attend. I was, in fact, scheduled to join them, but instead I am taking on coverage for tonight. Probably for the best, as our crew will have more fun […]
Justin Ishbia’s Canal Edge unveils a new White Sox ballpark: The Railyards
If there’s one thing that is clear as the lease to Rate Field winds down, it is that the the White Sox no longer want to play there. Now, after Jerry Reinsdorf’s failed attempt at relocating his White Sox to The 78, the future owner of the club has stepped up with plans for a […]
Today in White Sox History: September 5
1978 A catastrophic base-running mistake for the Twins secured a 4-3 Chicago win at Metropolitan Stadium in Minnesota, in front of 3,630 fans. With the bases loaded in the bottom of the seventh and just one out, down 4-0 to the White Sox, Twins outfielder Bombo Rivera singled to center. The hit drove in Dan […]
White Sox 2027 Spring Training schedule announced
We already had the 2027 regular season schedule announced in July, and on Friday the White Sox released the games that will lead into the regular season. There aren’t many surprises, given the same 14 opponents. And we’ve got no game times or broadcast information yet. But nonetheless, here it is: Everything starts earlier in […]
Dash win, 8-2, to qualify for the High-A playoffs
It’s been a rare occurrence, a White Sox affiliate making the playoffs this decade. And outside of the back-to-back Southern League titles by the Birmingham Barons in 2024-25, there has been scant success in those rare postseasons. Coming off a 56-74 record last year and with only Single-A and ACL talent to pull from, it […]
