Chicago White Sox amateur scouting director Mike Shirley resigned on Saturday amid an internal investigation into allegations of verbal harassment.

First Pitch: White Sox vs. Cardinals

In their last 13 games, the Chicago White Sox are batting .192/.295/.335 and have scored just 40 runs. For an offense that is sputtering and seeking a spark somewhere in the lineup, manager Will Venable made a significant shuffle for tonight's game in St. Louis. Colson Montgomery is batting eighth for the first time this season, and Kyle Teel is batting second behind Sam Antonacci. While there will be plenty of attention on how the offense fares against St. Louis starter Kyle Leahy, tonight ...

Jose Ramirez and 2 others who will define Guardians’ playoff fate

The Cleveland Guardians are currently competing for a spot in the 2026 MLB postseason. Cleveland holds the third and final American League Wild Card spot as of this story’s writing, but the ball club also narrowly trails the Chicago White Sox for the division lead in the AL Central. In all reality, Cleveland will need […] The post Jose Ramirez and 2 others who will define Guardians’ playoff fate appeared first on ClutchPoints .

St. Louis Cardinals vs Chicago White Sox Game Discussion Saturday

After a rousing St. Louis Cardinals Hall of Fame ceremony where Albert Pujols, Yadier Molina and Bill Sherdel were immortalized, the team will take the field and do battle with the Chicago White Sox Saturday night. Kyle Leahy will get the start (for a couple innings at least) while Chicago sends Luis Castillo to the […]

Today in White Sox History: September 12

1900 The White Sox beat the Cleveland Blues, 12-4, in Chicago to clinch the franchise’s first pennant. (The American League would not be recognized as an official major league until 1901, however.) Roy Patterson got the win in the game. The season seemed to set the tone for the franchise, with exceptional pitching and defense — and […]

Sporcle Saturday: 100 innings in relief

Good morning! It's been a rough go of it for the White Sox lately, what with the offense sputtering in a sweep at home by the Pirates . So, no offensively-oriented Sporcle this week as there hasn't been very much to celebrate about since Sunday's victory over the Twins. On the pitching side, however, something which I found interesting is the innings total that Sean Newcomb is approaching. Entering Friday evening's game against the Cardinals, Newcomb has 83 innings pitched as a reliever. I...

Sox Machine Live: White Sox feeling the heat

Live Show Summary Stream Time: 11:30 AM CT. The new live stream will recap the 7-3 loss at St. Louis, as it was more of the same struggles. The White Sox offense was led by Chase Meidroth, who hit two home runs, but struggles to find the big hit with RISP remain. Anthony Kay once again can’t get through 5 innings. Hosts: Josh Nelson and Courtney Finnicum. Note: Jim Margalus is on his way to Birmingham to catch up with the Barons. Presented by Ankin Law - Injury Law Made Personal Th...

White Sox Minor Keys: Sept. 11, 2026

Two open postseason questions for the White Sox farm system were resolved on Friday, for better or for worse. For better: Greensboro rallied with a three-run eighth to beat the Frederick, 7-5, so the Winston-Salem Dash will face the Grasshoppers in the latest installment of the Battle of I-40: The South Atlantic League Championship Series.… The post White Sox Minor Keys: Sept. 11, 2026 appeared first on Sox Machine .

Mason Adams is giving the Rockies something to watch

Mason Adams did not come to the Rockies with the pedigree of a top pitching prospect. Acquired from the White Sox along with Carlos Vielma in exchange for Brenton Doyle, Adams arrived as an older arm with an injury history rather than a marquee prospect. At 26, he is pitching in the big leagues for […]

AL wild-card roundup: Guardians pull away from Blue Jays, Rangers

The Cleveland Guardians are surging while their playoff rivals are falling away. The Guardians defeated the Minnesota Twins for their third win in five games. Meanwhile, the Toronto Blue Jays, Texas Rangers and Chicago White Sox all extended their losing streaks. With the win, the Guardians moved to within half a game of the White Sox for the AL Central lead, and two games clear of all challengers in the wild-card race. The Baltimore Orioles, who beat the Blue Jays, were the only other team in...

White Sox Drop Fourth Straight; AL Central Lead Narrowed to Half-Game

ST. LOUIS – The following question was posed to White Sox third baseman Colson Montgomery prior to his team’s 7-3 loss to the Cardinals on Friday night at Busch Stadium, in a game delayed one hour and 10 minutes by rain. Is there something acceptable regarding just making the playoffs as a Wild Card, or does this team want the American League Central title? White Sox Irish Quarter Zip Giveaway is Sept. 19 “Yeah, we want to win the division because we feel like we are the best team in the divis...

Cardinals 7, White Sox 3: Down to half a game

Down four with the bases loaded in the six inning, Miguel Vargas briefly looked like he had produced The Swing that might unclog the White Sox offense. Luis Gastelum left an 0-1 sweeper above the knees on the outer half of the plate, and Vargas put good wood on it, launching to left center field. Statcast says it left the bat at 104.3 mph and traveled some 397 feet, and would have left 12 of 30 MLB parks, including Rate Field. Alas, the White Sox departed home yesterday, and Busch Stadium ...

A win not in the Cards; White Sox fall again

This may come as somewhat of a shock, but the White Sox lost again Friday night. I know, who could’ve seen it coming that the team that has looked like a dumpster fire since late August would once again do everything possible to lose a game. I don’t even know how to feel, but I […]

St. Louis Cardinals vs Chicago White Sox Game Discussion Friday

The St. Louis Cardinals begin a weekend homestand against the Chicago White Sox Friday night as Matthew Liberatore will get the start for St. Louis while the White Sox will send Anthony Kay to the mound. First pitch is scheduled for 7:15pm with the game broadcast available via Cardinals.tv.

First Pitch: White Sox at Cardinals

At 5-14, Matthew Liberatore is the National League leader in losses. Facing a lineup featuring Edgar Quero at DH, Brenton Doyle in center field and Luisangel Acuña at short, he’s getting the best opportunity possible to avoid a 15th loss, which would put him in a tie for the major league lead. There’s a real… The post First Pitch: White Sox at Cardinals appeared first on Sox Machine .

Four White Sox to watch over the final 16 games, even if through your fingers

A few days ago in the August Month in a Box , we talked about the White Sox's month-to-month decreases in run differential, and whether they signaled a team that's adept at managing a schedule's degrees of difficulty, or a team that's gradually running out of juice. Being held to five runs over a three - game sweep at home by the Pittsburgh Pirates, a series during which the White Sox never held a lead at any point, makes it easier to indulge the pessimistic perspective. They're hitting .200...

Chicago White Sox won’t stay down after Pirates gut punch

The Chicago White Sox were knocked down by the Pirates Pirates, getting swept over their three-game series. But with the playoffs in sight, the franchise plans to get right back up.
