Latest news and updates about the White Sox
1931 Forty years after the Rule 5 draft had began, the White Sox made their first Rule 5 pick from another MLB team: second baseman Carey Selph, hitting .322 for the Houston Buffaloes in the St. Louis Cardinals organization. Given that only injury had prevented Selph from ascending permanently to the majors, the perception was […]
The White Sox have rolled into Target Field and won what might have been described as a “must-sweep” series, the kind of outcome that you have to root for given the mathematical state of things, but that might deliver you a few side-eyes depending on how genuinely you think it’s going to happen. Today, it […]
Andrew Benintendi had three hits and was involved all three White Sox runs. The rest of the team had zilch. Didn’t matter, because the Twins are really bad, resulting in a 3-2 game and series win for the White Sox. Benintendi’s first hit was an RBI single in the first, a 78 mph squib through […]
Sox Machine regularly receives reminders about Lamar Johnson whenever he posts in the comments, but Andrew Benintendi supplied another one by joining Johnson as the second White Sox player to supply all three of his team's hits in a game. And just like Johnson's Sox back on June 19, 1977 , it was just good enough to win. The post White Sox 3, Twins 2: Andrew Benintendi is enough appeared first on Sox Machine .
After handing Dean Kremer a loss for the first time in six tries, the White Sox now turn their attention to longer-time nemesis Bailey Ober, who is 6-2 with a 3.67 ERA in 15 career starts. After hanging nine runs over 7⅓ combined innings the first two times the Sox saw him, Ober has completed… The post First Pitch: White Sox at Twins appeared first on Sox Machine .
One of Ken Harrelson’s favorite sayings was, “It’s not who you play, it’s when you play ’em.” Like many a Hawkism, that’s partially true — both matter, after all — and the White Sox are again in good position when it comes to timing. That’s because Sox killer Byron Buxton — .916 career OPS, 24 […]
First Pitch: 1:10 pm CDTTV: Twins.TVRadio: TIBN / WCCO 830 / The Wolf 102.9 FM / Audacy In the hugely anticipated sequel to last night’s game, the Twins will be facing the Chicago White Sox again this afternoon. That’s right — the Minnesota faithful were left begging for more, and you know what? The squeaky […]
Good morning! Miguel Vargas continues to be a revelation this season. Entering Friday evening's slate of games, Vargas leads the American League in runs scored with 91. Should he continue his pace (cue Josh telling you to pound on the nearest block of wood!), he'll become the first White Sox to score 100 runs in a season in twenty years.

Welcome to Today Your Love, Tomorrow the World Series, the new/old favorite from Chris McShane and Brian Salvatore. The Mets have lost their last two series, though their series against the White Sox was more a bad luck loss than truly bad play; that came against the Brewers. Brian and Chris talk about plesant surprises […]
The White Sox improved to 71-63 after Friday’s 7-4 victory over the Twins, making some unique history in the process. As per MLB.com’s Sarah Langs, the 71 wins are the most of any team in history coming off at least three consecutive 100-loss seasons. Chicago’s unlikely rise from doormat to division leader has been one […]
For those concerned that James wouldn’t be writing Sun-Times articles about prospects who hadn’t even been assigned to affiliates yet, he produced one about sixth-round pick Alex Weingartner, the New Jersey high school outfielder the White Sox signed away from a commitment to Penn State for $1,397,000. That kind of money is usually reserved for… The post White Sox Minor Keys: Aug. 28, 2026 appeared first on Sox Machine .
1915 White Sox pitcher Jim Scott fired a 5-0 shutout over the Philadelphia A’s … and he did it in only 68 minutes! It’s the fastest game ever played in team annals. He allowed three hits and struck out six. Scott won 24 games that year. 1930 In one of the most brilliant starts in White Sox history, Pat Caraway […]

This metaphor is probably only one that only the older siblings will understand but here goes: You know when you’re playing Mario Kart with your sibling and for one reason or another you try to let them win to make them feel better? Well that is exactly what happened on Friday night between the Chicago […]
Not that it was even much of a duel on paper, but the barely ballyhooed battle between Luis Castillo and Dean Kremer wasn't settled by the starters. Instead, other elements like bullpens, passed pitches and double plays -- specifically double plays started by the first baseman -- ended up creating the margin tonight. The White Sox ended up on the positive side of those ledgers, and thus the scoreboard in the opener at Target Field. The White Sox rocked Kremer for four runs in the first, Cast...

The Knights and Redbirds will play a doubleheader on August 29. Birmingham Barons 3, Rocket City Trash Pandas 2 Thanks for coming out of hiding, Barons pitchers, we’ve missed you all season! It’s […]
The White Sox showed why they’re 7.5 games ahead of the Twins. They keep coming and coming, and are willing to do what it takes to add a run here, a run there. The Twins are largely “long ball or nothing”; tonight it was long balls then nothing. And Dean Kremer stank. Inning-by-inning notes: 1: […]
Just a few weeks ago, this series looked like it would all but determine the AL Central. While it still will go a long way towards that for the White Sox, a seven-game winning streak by the Cleveland Guardians that has seen them make their case as the only other “contender” in the division. With […]
The White Sox and Twins open a three-game series at Target Field tonight, with Luis Castillo taking the mound against Dean Kremer in a pitching matchup that puts my judgment to the test. I put forth the idea of the White Sox trading for Kremer before the Minnesota swooped in, and I questioned the risk-reward… The post Pregame notes: Tristan Peters chasing White Sox history; Walker Jenkins making MLB debut for Twins appeared first on Sox Machine .

Davis Martin’s line in his rehab start for the Charlotte Knights on Thursday — 5 IP, 1 H, 0 R, 1 BB, 5 K, 40 of 59 pitches for strikes — is even more impressive when considering how it began.

1909 In the second inning of the opener of a doubleheader at South Side Park, Washington’s Dolly Gray set two major league records against the White Sox: He walked eight batters in the inning, and seven of them consecutive.
