Banana Bonds powers White Sox past Rangers, 10-4
Boy, oh, boy, do these guys need Thursday’s off-day. Chicago’s (70-63) arms are cooked. Sean Burke lost the strike zone, and the Rangers took 10 free passes. Not that it mattered. The South Siders just kept swinging, Tristan Peters kept launching balls into orbit and somehow the Good Guys walked away with a 10-4 win […]
White Sox Minor League Update: August 26, 2026
Memphis Redbirds 2, Charlotte Knights 0 (6 innings)The Knights (68-60) could not get anything going on offense during a rain-shortened, low-scoring loss at home against the Redbirds (70-58). Noah Schultz, 23, had a decent outing, only allowing two runs on five hits in five innings. Schultz only needed 65 pitches (13 per inning), so he […]
Game Thread: Rangers (66-67) at White Sox (69-63)
After a much-needed offensive outburst on Tuesday, the White Sox are back at it, looking to capture their second straight series with another victory tonight. Last night’s win kept the South Siders clinging to a 2 1/2-game edge in the AL Central, with the Guardians refusing to go away after stealing one in extra innings […]
Today in White Sox History: August 26
1920 During a robbery attempt at the Illinois Vinegar Manufacturing Company on August 3, three armed bandits gunned down highly-respected detective sergeant Frank McGurk, a veteran of the Chicago police department. His fellow officers were able to start arresting the individuals who committed the crime, after getting tips from individuals. On August 26 and thanks […]
White Sox outlast Rangers in South Side slugfest, 11-7
Both teams came out swinging tonight, combining for 25 hits and 18 runs, but the White Sox (69-63) beat up on Jacob deGrom and outlasted the Rangers (66-67), 11-7. I’d be lying if I said I wasn’t nervous getting through this one, but this was a huge win for the South Siders coming off a […]
White Sox Minor League Update: August 25, 2026
Charlotte Knights 8, Memphis Redbirds 2Drew Thorpe took the mound for his seventh start, with Sox fans crossing their fingers that he might someday soon bail out the big league club’s rotation mess. He tiptoed through trouble, scattering six hits and a walk for two runs in 4 2/3 innings while fanning three. Kyle Teel […]
Game Thread: Rangers (66-66) at White Sox (68-63)
A blowout loss is a tough way to start a series at home in a playoff race, but the South Siders hope to flush Monday’s game and come out strong behind Anthony Kay today. After defeating the Sox yesterday, the Rangers now hold a half-game lead over the Houston Astros in the AL West, while […]
South Side Sox Reacts: Race to the finish
Welcome to SB Nation Reacts, a survey of fans across the MLB. Throughout the year we ask questions of the most plugged-in White Sox fans and fans across the country. It might not be the best time to ask this, as the White Sox have been just a 50/50 team so far in the second […]
Today in White Sox History: August 25
1913 The White Sox purchased the contract of a future Hall-of-Famer, pitcher Urban “Red” Faber, from Des Moines for $3,500. Faber would go on to win 254 games, with four seasons of 20 or more wins with Chicago. In the 1917 World Series win over the Giants Faber went 3-1, throwing 27 innings, with two complete games and a […]
Ice-cold offense and terrible pitching handed the White Sox a terrible loss
The White Sox got steamrolled, 11-2, by a team that entered the game worse than .500. The pitching was terrible, the bats were ice-cold, and the Rangers took advantage of the long ball on several occasions. José Urquidy did not have a great start, tossing 39 pitches in his first frame. He walked the leadoff […]
Game Thread: Rangers (65-66) at White Sox (68-62)
In a tale of two weak divisions, the White Sox will get another look at the Rangers, this time in Chicago. The Rangers are tied with the Astros atop the American League West. Neither team has a winning record (.496) in the AL West, and any meaningful baseball in October will likely be short-lived. José […]
White Sox Weekly: August 17-23, 2026
The White Sox week started by getting walked off on back-to-back nights, there was a midweek goose egg to lose a makeup game to Atlanta, and then the pitching gave up 10 runs to a Mets team that is well worse than .500. Oh, and not to mention, it’s the middle of a 16-game stretch, […]
Unsung hero of the White Sox? Walk-off whiz Tristan Peters
The Chicago White Sox have been the most fun team to watch in Major League Baseball this season, with their 11th walk-off win of the season on Sunday afternoon thanks to a Tristan Peters solo homer in the bottom of the ninth. It also helped move Chicago’s record to 27-19 in one run games. This was […]
Today in White Sox History: August 24
1901 The White Sox signed Wiley Piatt, who had been released by the Philadelphia A’s in July. The left-handed starter pitched well down the stretch for the first-place White Sox, going 4-2 with a 2.79 ERA and 1.084 WHIP, good for 0.4 WAR over seven games (six starts). The 1902 season was more of a […]

White Sox Minor League Update: August 23, 2026
Before we break down Sunday’s affiliate games, it was announced Saturday by the White Sox that two top-rated White Sox prospects — Roch Cholowsky and Billy Carlson — will both be shut down for the remainder of the minor league seasons, as reported by MLB’s Scott Merkin. Cholowsky was the top pick for Chicago in […]
Clutch Peters, stud pitching deliver White Sox key series win against Mets
With any luck, Hagen Smith’s best days in a White Sox uniform are yet to come. And if today’s clutch performance was any indication, that could mean some pretty special things. Smith was dialed in for undoubtedly the finest performance of his young career, entering a 0-0 ballgame with two on and none out in […]
Game Thread: Mets (59-71) at White Sox (67-62)
OK, we got the Luis Robert Jr. revenge game out of the way. Phew. Nothing more to say, except for perhaps the hope that today may be Luisangel Acuña’s turn. I’m not holding my breath. If I was holding my breath, I would probably lose my life, because Acuña isn’t even in the starting lineup […]
Robert’s revenge
The White Sox (67-62) failed to build on their come-from-behind victory on Friday night, as the Mets (59-71) picked up a 10-5 victory against a pitching staff that struggled from start to finish. Luis Castillo, 33, started on the mound for the South Siders, and things did not go as planned. In the first, A.J. […]

Charlotte Knights 9, Scranton/Wilkes-Barre RailRiders 6The 13 hits that the Knights (67-58) mashed against the RailRiders (64-57) helped propel Charlotte to their third win of the series, securing the second win of the year for David Sandlin.

Three things Will Venable must do to win AL Manager of the Year
The White Sox are one of the few AL teams to beat as the home stretch of baseball approaches, and a lot of the credit goes to Will Venable. The sophomore skipper has led Chicago to first in the division with a 67-61 record, giving him a huge leg up in this year’s AL Manager […]
Today in White Sox History: August 22
1923 In a game at Comiskey Park, White Sox pitcher Hollis “Sloppy” Thurston threw an immaculate inning of relief (striking out the side on only nine pitches) versus the Philadelphia Athletics. Thurston’s Immaculate Inning came in the 12th, mowing down Frank “Beauty” McGowan, Clarence “Chick” Galloway and Sam Hale. Thurston became the first White Sox and just […]
White Sox Minor League Update: August 21, 2026
Scranton/Wilkes-Barre RailRiders 5, Charlotte Knights 3 Playing against two rehabbing Yankees and their 4A team was too tall an order for the Knights, but this time the loss was on the arms. Jonathan Cannon did a fair job stretching his start as long as possible. Although he gave up two home runs, his six innings […]
Back-to-back-to-back ties it, Jake Rogers jack wins it for White Sox
For a young team like the Chicago White Sox, where most of the players haven’t experienced a playoff race much less a wining season, the dog days can be too much for some teams to handle. With plenty of time left in August, no one game gives reason to push the panic button, but the […]
