Latest news and updates about the White Sox
It didn’t take long — especially when watching Birmingham’s box scores — to see that something had changed with the run-scoring environment in Minor League Baseball in 2026. As the season winds down, Baseball America’s J.J. Cooper put it all in context, and came away calling it “the greatest offensive explosion the minors have seen… The post White Sox Minor Keys: Sept. 2, 2026 appeared first on Sox Machine .
For some time now, the Chicago White Sox have held the No. 2 seed in the American League playoff picture. Despite having the league’s fourth-best overall record, Chicago has maintained that position because the three teams ahead of them all come from the American League East. With the White Sox owning the best record in [...] The post White Sox lose tiebreaker over Astros in quest for No. 2 seed appeared first on ChiCitySports .
Here's a Twins news roundup as Minnesota prepares for a three-game series against the Chicago White Sox.
There are frustrating losses, and then there is whatever the White Sox subjected us to on Wednesday night. Chicago wasted nearly every opportunity it received, went 1-for-7 with runners in scoring position and handed Houston the only two runs it needed in a maddening 2-0 defeat. The lone silver lining came elsewhere, as Cleveland also […]
Thank goodness for the Blue Jays. Their 11-0 blanking of the Cleveland Guardians was in the books halfway through this one, which will make it a little easier for the White Sox to sleep tonight after suffering vapor lock in both halves of the eighth inning. In the top of it, they had runners on the corners with nobody out, and bases loaded with one out, and couldn't convert on either. In the bottom half, a Chase Meidroth error-turned-hometown-single forced Sean Newcomb to record four outs, a...
At this rate, Nelson Velazquez might just become “Mr. September”. For the second time this week, he’d come through in a major way. Astros 2 White Sox 0. Wednesday Night was a scoreless affair until the 8th inning. Hayden Wesneski was nothing short of sensational. Seven innings, and only a single hit allowed. […]
The Chicago White Sox head into Game 3 of a four-game series against the Houston Astros on Wednesday night at 73-65, leading the AL Central by three games over the Cleveland Guardians. Their three-year climb from consecutive 100-loss seasons has produced a potent offense, 660 runs scored, and a plus-45 run differential. Yet one structural […] The post Fatal flaw that will doom White Sox’s chances of winning AL Central appeared first on ClutchPoints .
Tanner McDougal’s return to the White Sox didn’t result in a second chance. He was recalled when rosters expanded on Sept. 1, and optioned back to Charlotte on Sept. 2 in order to make room for Davis Martin, who is returning from the injured list for his right middle finger blister. The last time Martin… The post Pregame notes: Davis Martin rejoins White Sox for final push appeared first on Sox Machine .
TONIGHT’S GAME: The first-place Houston Astros (70-69), who hold a slim 1.0-game lead in the AL West, will play the third game of their four-game series with the Chicago White Sox (73-65) tonight at Daikin Park. RHP Hayden Wesneski (4-1, 3.86 ERA), who’s won his last two starts, will get the start for the Astros […]
The first two contests in Houston have produced a split, with the Astros taking Monday’s opener and the White Sox bouncing back for a 5-1 victory on Tuesday. Now, with two games left in the series, both clubs have an opportunity to gain ground in a race that carries major implications for American League playoff […]

The Houston Astros and Chicago White Sox already had plenty happening on the field, but one awkward broadcast moment quickly stole the spotlight. During the latest American League matchup, Chicago announcer John Schriffen appeared to say something that sounded like “Altuve is r******” while discussing the nine-time All-Star. The clip spread fast, with Astros fans […] The post White Sox announcer’s awkward slip has Astros fans asking ‘Jose Altuve is what?’ appeared first on ClutchPoints .
Even if the eventual return of Kyle Teel forces Jake Rogers out of the White Sox’s catching mix at some point this month, he’ll have made his mark on the season in two ways: A bunch of White Sox sported mustaches and goatees with varying levels of success on Tuesday to mark the start of… The post Spare Parts: For better or worse, it’s mustache month for the White Sox appeared first on Sox Machine .
The Minnesota Twins were interested in acquiring an outfielder from the Phillies before he was traded to the White Sox.
The final day of August was steamy in Chicago: a stormy morning that gave way to rain interspersed with muggy stillness and a hot evening made noisy by the mournful lust of the last cicadas. We tick into September, and toward the fall, with summer heat. This has never been unusual; September is mostly summer, […]
Chicago White Sox announcer John Schriffen made a regrettable error on Tuesday night while calling a routine play between the Sox and Houston Astros. As Jose Altuve popped out to center field, Schriffen was on the call. While he meant to say that Altuve had been “retired,” he instead used an outdated word for people…
The White Sox designated Tyler Gilbert for assignment in order to open up a spot on the 40-man roster for Tommy Pham, which reminded me to look into how Aaron Combs is faring. The White Sox traded Combs, their eighth-round pick in 2024, to Philadelphia for Gilbert on Jan. 1, 2025. It was their second… The post White Sox Minor Keys: Sept. 1, 2026 appeared first on Sox Machine .
Chicago does not usually get a month like this. The city’s sports calendar tends to run in shifts. Baseball fades, football takes over, hockey and basketball arrive once the leaves turn. Somebody is always rebuilding. Somebody is always already eliminated. The idea of four or five Chicago teams mattering in the same three-week window has [...] The post Chicago’s Crowded September: What the Bears, Cubs, White Sox and Sky Are All Playing For at Once appeared first on ChiCitySports .
The White Sox (73-65) rebounded from Monday’s rough loss to the Astros (70-69), defeating Houston behind South Side ace Sean Burke. The righthander earned his eighth win of the season. Despite getting off to a rocky start in the bottom of the first, Burke battled through his 5 2/3 innings, allowing just one hit while […]
ARLINGTON, Texas — Brandon Nimmo drove in 5 runs, MacKenzie Gore allowed 1 run over 5 1/3 innings, and the Texas Rangers beat the Athletics 8-5 on Tuesday night at Globe Life Field. Texas improved to 69-70 and moved within one game of the first-place Houston Astros, who lost 5-1 to the Chicago White Sox. […]
Two major qualms people have about the Chicago White Sox lately: Starting pitchers needing to find a way to go deeper into games and the offense needing to capitalize with runners in scoring position. Last night’s loss was a mix of both when Anthony Kay was knocked out in the fifth inning, and the offense left 14 runners on base. Tonight, thanks to two-out base hits from Andrew Benintendi, Colson Montgomery, and Randal Grichuk, the White Sox offense found a way to score five runs. That was ...
Charlotte Knights 3, Gwinnett Stripers 1 (10 innings) Noah Schultz took the hill for the Knights (72-61) and breezed through four innings. Then came the fifth: a leadoff single, an airmailed throw by Schultz and a sacrifice fly, and suddenly the Stripers were on the board. Schultz’s night ended after 4 2/3 innings. He allowed […]
