Good morning!
It's not yet the All-Star break, and the White Sox have three different hitters with 20 or more home runs on the season. You might recall that it took until September 7 of last season before a White Sox hitter reached the twenty dinger mark. Ultimately, two other players from the 2025 squad would reach 20, so this marks the first time that the Sox have had consecutive 20-home run campaigns from three or more players since 2018 and 2019.

Please bow your heads for a moment of silence to commemorate the 14-minute period where the White Sox officially had more bats than spots.

When Jacob Gonzalez was removed from his game at Triple-A Charlotte on Friday — in a rather brusque manner, pulled off the field in the middle of a seven-run third inning for the Nashville Sounds — it seemed clear that a trade was in the offing. Two hours later, word came through that the White […]

With the White Sox coming into this game on a three-game losing streak and the Athletics coming to town, it was crucial to end the first half on a high note. Chicago’s bats had been silent and their pitching had been problematic for quite some time but that was all remedied against the Athletics. In […]

The full slate of competitors for the 2026 Home Run Derby has been set.
Well it looked like this season’s magical run was made for the storybooks at the end of June. Unfortunately for the White Sox, July has had a mind of its own. After entering the month with a 45-39 record, the South Siders have won just two of their last eight games and are now tied […]
The White Sox have lost a season-high three games in a row and are the only MLB team yet to lose four consecutive games at any point this season. They're tied for first place in an AL Central where four teams, including the resurgent Detroit Tigers, are within five games of the division lead.
But Munetaka Murakami has been activated off the injured list , so pretty much every question in Will Venable's pregame media availability was at least Murakami-adjacent.

Chicago’s future will be decided this weekend in a conference room in Philadelphia, at approximately 12 p.m. CT.

If you determine the White Sox's record during Munetaka Murakami's absence by the games where he was unable to participate at all, they went 17-18 during his 35-game absence for a strained hamstring.
If you approach it like the Major League Baseball rulebook determines a pitcher's record, then you could say the White Sox went .500. The Sox trailed 2-1 when Murakami left the May 29 game against the Tigers , and didn't lead until Miguel Vargas walked it off with the final swing of the game. Fo...
