White Sox Minor League Update: June 16, 2026

Buffalo Bisons 9, Charlotte Knights 5Another night, more pitching troubles for Charlotte (38-32). At least Kyle Teel showed up with some fireworks, launching a two-run shot in his first rehab at-bat and finishing 2-for-3 with two runs and two RBIs. That early jolt? Gone in a flash, as Noah Schultz walked his first batter and […]

Yankees clobber White Sox in series opener, 12-2

Well, that’s not how you want to start a road trip after going against two of the best teams in all of baseball. There’s no good way to slice it: the White Sox (38-33) got whooped by the Yankees (44-27) in the series opener, 12-2. Though they scored 12, the Yanks somehow still left 10 […]

Game Thread: White Sox (38-32) at Yankees (43-27)

After going 4-1 against two of the top teams in MLB — the Atlanta Braves and Los Angeles Dodgers — the Chicago White Sox are looking to continue their hot streak on the road as they begin a three-game set with the New York Yankees. The Yanks are the best team in the American League […]

White Sox Weekly: June 9-14, 2026

This stretch of games had it all. A long-awaited MLB debut, a thrilling walk-off win against the best team in baseball, and almost having a perfect game thrown against them. This week, the White Sox made a statement to the entire league that they can compete in big ways. The week started with the National […]

1908 The number 13 proved lucky for the White Sox, as a 3-2 win over the New York Highlanders ran their winning streak to 13 games. Ed Walsh went the distance to improve to 14-3 on the season, while the Sox offense buffeted just five singles in the game with eight walks and five stolen […]

White Sox Minor League Update: June 14, 2026

Charlotte Knights 4, Oklahoma City Comets 3The Charlotte Knights (38-31) squeaked out a victory, making the most of their three hits. They had just enough offense and got another shutdown appearance from one of the organization’s most overlooked relievers. Ryan Galanie got things rolling in the first with a solo shot, but that joy was […]

Survivin’ Sox eke out dramatic win to take series from L.A.

Another Sunday, another opener against a lineup that I do not like the White Sox facing. In tense but rewarding fashion, my worries went for naught, as an explosive six-run sixth inning broke the spell of Dodgers pitching on the Sox offense, leading them to a 6-4 comeback win that pushes the Sox back to […]

Game Thread: Dodgers (45-26) at White Sox (37-32)

The White Sox finally popped a tire on their road to redemption last night, but AAA just showed up with Erick Fedde and a spare. The metaphor comes from the fact that yesterday’s resounding loss to the Dodgers felt like one of the very few games over the last month and change of unadulterated highway […]

1905 George Davis stole four bases in a 5-3 win at Washington, a mark that has stood for 121 years now (though tied nine different times). Davis led an onslaught that saw the speedy Sox swipe seven sacks on the afternoon without once being caught. Woe was Senators catcher Malachi Kittridge. It was truly a […]

White Sox Minor League Update: June 13, 2026

Oklahoma City Comets 11, Charlotte Knights 7It was a tough start for lefthander Hagen Smith, who gave up eight runs (seven earned) in Saturday’s start against the Comets (38-29), leading to his fifth loss of the season for the Knights (37-31). Charlotte posted five runs in the first inning to give Smith a huge cushion, […]

Game Thread: Dodgers (44-26) at White Sox (37-31!)

No, you’re not dreaming. At least not about what the White Sox have been doing lately. Last night’s 8-2 bashing of the mighty Dodgers continued a streak of terrific performances against top teams in the tough stretch of schedule — and ran Chicago’s home winning streak to eight. It will be Sean Burke trying to […]

Catching Up With: Angelina Victoria, anthem singer

Angelina Victoria is a well-known and established Mexican-American artist hailing from Chicago, who sang the national anthem for her hometown Chicago White Sox on June 12, kicking off the first home game of a huge weekend series between the first-place White Sox and defending World Series champion Los Angeles Dodgers. For City Connect and Homies […]

Today in White Sox History: June 13

1908 Not to upstage the next Ed Walsh item on this day, but in a 5-1 win over the New York Highlanders (Yankees) the hurler not only tossed a complete game six-hitter, but stole home! The run was part of a double steal with Jake Atz in the seventh inning, providing the game’s fifth and […]

White Sox Minor League Update: June 12, 2026

Charlotte Knights 12, Oklahoma City Comets 7Charlotte overwhelmed the OKC with small ball and some big hits. Ryan Galanie had a big night and continues to be one of the most underrated guys on the Knights, clobbering a home run and an extra-base hit to supply five of the team’s 11 RBIs. Korey Lee and […]

White Sox smack around Sasaki in rout

Just like dealing with a moody teenager, you never know what you’re going to get with Los Angeles Dodgers starting pitcher Roki Sasaki. It seems that half the time he pitches gems, and the other half are absolute duds. Worse for the Dodgers, with Shohei Ohtani out due to knee inflammation the White Sox had […]

Game Thread: Dodgers (44-25) at White Sox (36-31)

For the first time in four years your Chicago White Sox are atop the AL Central, after two impressive wins over the Atlanta Braves. With the team getting a rainy Thursday night off, the South Siders had a breather before another big series, this one with the reigning World Series Champion Los Angeles Dodgers. This […]

South Side Sox Reacts: Feeling confident about the playoffs!

We took a while, but after a month or so off we’re back to asking you about the White Sox and baseball at large vis SB Nation Reacts surveys. This time around, with the White Sox in the catbird seat at the one-third season mark, we issued a straightforward (if unexpected, just a month ago) […]

White Sox Minor League Update: June 11, 2026

Charlotte Knights 9, Oklahoma City Comets 8The Knights (36-30) yanked a walk-off out of the chaos, toppling the Comets in a game that pinballed from the jump. Rikuu Nishida did his thing in the first — walk, swipe second, score on a Caden Connor double — then Dustin Harris with an RBI knock for a […]

Welcome to Chicago, Braden!

There hasn’t been a better White Sox debut since Wilson Álvarez kicked off his Chicago career by throwing a no-hitter at Baltimore in 1991, so BreakingT broke out the big art guns with their newest bit of Soxwear: Welcome to the Show, Kid! This design, even by the high BreakingT standards, is outstanding: Braden jogging […]

Braves-White Sox finale postponed by rain; makeup August 20

The monsoons sweeping the Chicagoland area forced the cancellation of Thursday’s finale between Chicago and Atlanta. The storms were foreboding enough — with winds rippling the on-field tarp — to quickly dash hopes of a very late game start, which would have been the most convenient option given Atlanta is not scheduled to return to […]

Game Thread: Braves (45-23) at White Sox (36-31) (late start, rain delay)

Weather permitting, tonight’s game offers the Chicago White Sox a chance to complete a sweep of the mighty Atlanta Braves and further cement their place atop the AL Central. Typing or saying that won’t get old, not after the years of misery leading up to it. But first, some news and notes. Everson Pereira has […]

Derek Hill is the first casualty of Chicago’s investment in Braden Montgomery

Chris Getz waited just two games to push the chips all in on Braden Montgomery. Unfortunately, Derek Hill, who picked the wrong poker table to plant himself at, was the casualty in an unusual barter between the White Sox and Phillies. In a wild and unpredictable world where the Sox find themselves having leverage, Chicago […]
