As teams like the Cubs, Padres, Red Sox, Guardians and White Sox clinched their spots in the Major League Baseball playoffs on seemingly an every-day basis, the Philadelphia Phillies were seemingly stuck in quicksand. For four consecutive days, the Phillies’ magic number did not move. It was stuck on two as they kept on losing […]

CHICAGO — Houston, you might have a problem. Or maybe the Astros will be presenting the problem for the White Sox. AL Wild Card Series Game 1, presented by AbbVie: Tuesday, 5 p.m. ET/4 p.m. CT on NBC/Peacock/NBCSN Either way, the American League Wild Card matchup has been set, with the South Siders traveling to Daikin Park for a first pitch of 4 p.m. CT Tuesday against the AL West champion Astros in this best-of-three competition.

Adam Eargle, CBS Sports Design The 2026 MLB playoff bracket is officially set. With the regular season wrapped up on Sunday, all 12 teams headed into the postseason have secured their spot. The Rays held off the Yankees to win the AL East and secure the American League’s best record and a bye straight to the ALDS. The No. 4 seed Yankees will take on their division rivals, the No. 5 Red Sox, in the other Wild Card Series. Elsewhere, the Guardians squeaked past the White Sox to earn the AL Centr...
Who is ready for October baseball? Well, we won’t need to wait for the start of a new month in order to get some postseason action, since the MLB playoffs begin Tuesday. That’s when all four of the Wild Card Series presented by AbbVie will get underway. Here is what you need to know about the two official Wild Card Series matchups. Notes about each other series will be added as the bracket becomes finalized. All stats are updated through Saturday. (6) White Sox at (3) Astros Game 1: Tuesday, 5...
That’s a wrap, folks! 84 wins, 78 losses. By the end of 2025, it was at least theoretically possible to squint and see the bones of an 80-ish win team in 2026. but having actually gotten there, I almost don’t know what to say. This game was superfluous, but for some reason, 84 is a […]
The sun has set on the 2026 Colorado Rockies season. Perhaps fittingly, it came with a 4-2 loss against the playoff-bound Chicago White Sox—a team that found themselves in a similar situation to the Rockies just two years ago. With today’s loss, the Rockies finish their season at 58-104. It is their second-worst season in […]
Freed from any pressure of postseason implications for a day, the White Sox seized the stress-free day to bring a most surprising of regular seasons to a straightforward, crowd-pleasing finish.
Randal Grichuk and Brenton Doyle hit two-run homers against their former team as Anthony Kay completed five innings for the first time in seven starts as the White Sox put a bow on the 162-game schedule with an 84-78 record.
Now they'll head to Houston to face the Astros in the Wild Card Series, as ...
Maybe it’s counterintuitive, but this is the happiest game thread I’ve written all year. You’d think there would be a bit of a letdown, going from what could have been the most dramatic Game 162 in team history to what amounts to a meaningless tune-up game. That’s not the important part. My Sunday coverage meant […]
What we can say about the Wild Card Series is that the White Sox will play somewhere in Texas at 4 p.m. CT on Tuesday, Wednesday and Thursday (if necessary), and the games will be broadcast on Peacock and NBC Sports Network. The destination in Texas will be settled in a matter of hours, when…

The sun has finally risen on the last day of the last day of the 2026 Major League Baseball regular season. Today marks Game 162 of 162 an the Colorado Rockies are in the South Side of Chicago for one last game against the White Sox. The Rockies played spoiler last night, handing a loss […]
We have not one, but two (!!) playoff spots coming down to Game 162. One race that did get decided on Saturday was the AL Central. The Guardians won and the White Sox lost, clinching the division for Cleveland. 1. Phillies face win and in scenario The NL Wild Card race seemed all but over […]
Depending on what happens in what is now a completely inconsequential 162nd game, it's entirely possible that, after the White Sox left Cleveland trailing by one game, they could end up winning all three remaining series and somehow end up further behind. Such is the importance of controlling one's destiny, and the Guardians lived up to their name by protecting their margin with almost perfect baseball down the stretch.
That the White Sox were up by 4½ games as late as Aug. 29 makes the wild...

1905 Simply put, this was the craziest doubleheader in White Sox history. In the opener in Boston, the American Bill Dineen no-hit the South Siders, 2-0, at the soggy Huntington Avenue Baseball Grounds. Ironically, Dineen had sat out all of September with a sore arm. It marked the second time ever that the White Sox […]
The Detroit Tigers were supposed to be the better team on paper, and the Chicago White Sox were a compelling story all yearlong, but the Cleveland Guardians are still the kings of the American League Central. Despite ranking last in MLB with a sub-$80 million payroll, Stephen Vogt’s ballclub once again rallied late and have […]

The 2026 post-season field will need all 162 games to be settled. Entering Saturday, there was the possibility that all 12 October clubs could have punched their tickets, but only the Cleveland Guardians and San Diego Padres locked in their spots for the playoffs with victories. Combined with a Chicago White Sox loss, Cleveland locked down its third straight AL Central title with a victory over the Kansas City Royals. That means that the Guardians will also hold the No. 2 seed in the American ...
CHICAGO — The Chicago White Sox had their hopes of winning the AL Central dashed when Hunter Goodman hit his 40th and 41st homers to lift the Colorado Rockies in a 9-6 win Saturday night. The White Sox needed to beat the Rockies to stay alive in the division race after the Cleveland Guardians won 11-5 at Kansas City on Saturday to take a two-game lead on the season’s penultimate day. Chicago will be the final AL wild card and will play on the road against the AL West winner in a three-game Wil...
KANSAS CITY, Mo. — Once again, the Cleveland Guardians are division champs. Patrick Bailey and Brayan Rocchio each hit two of Cleveland’s five home runs as the Guardians beat the Kansas City Royals 11-5 on Saturday night to clinch their third straight AL Central title. Cleveland’s victory, coupled with Chicago’s 9-6 loss to Colorado, gave the Guardians (85-76) a two-game lead over the second-place White Sox (83-78) with one game remaining in the regular season on Sunday. José Ramírez and the G...
CHICAGO — Things seemed to start smoothly enough for right-hander Davis Martin and the White Sox during Saturday night’s game against the Rockies at Rate Field, as leadoff hitter Jake McCarthy bounced a routine grounder to first baseman Munetaka Murakami. Murakami made the flip, but Martin missed the toss for an error. The Rockies scored three runs in that first inning en route to a 9-6 victory. Before the inning was over, Noah Schultz was called into the game to replace Martin, who was charge...

KANSAS CITY — There was a point this summer when it felt like the walls were starting to close in on the Guardians. Cleveland entered a midseason swoon before the All-Star break, when it was trying to tread water without José Ramírez after he underwent left hamate surgery.

After the Guardians fell to one game over .500 with a fourth straight loss on July 8, catcher and team leader Austin Hedges offered some hopeful context and confidence the tide w...
Cleveland cruising past a pitcher in Kansas City’s Michael Wacha who had owned them largely winnowed any chance the White Sox would have to finish with a late kick to win the AL Central. However, the White Sox ended any chance of extending the division drama to Sunday by getting off to a rocky start […]
The Colorado Rockies came together to work through the weekend on a high note. After a bleak August and September, the fight that this team flashed throughout the season was on display again tonight. With a strong opponent in the Chicago White Sox, playing for their division title, the Rockies held their ground and came […]
