Hot Rods stall as Dash race into the finals with a 4-1 win
The Winston-Salem Dash are headed to the South Atlantic League Championship Series! Facing a Bowling Green club that finished with the fourth-best record among all 120 full-season minor league teams, the Dash completed a stunning two-game sweep with a 4-1 victory to capture the South Atlantic League Southern Division championship. The Hot Rods, a Tampa […]
White Sox Minor League Update: September 10, 2026
Buffalo Bisons 11, Charlotte Knights 4The Charlotte Knights stumbled to an 11-4 loss to the Buffalo Bisons in a game that remained competitive for five innings before spiraling wildly out of control. Adisyn Coffey took the mound as an opener for Charlotte, making just his third start of the season. It quickly became the Lenyn […]
White Sox get swept at home, in a September series meaningful for all the wrong reasons
The Pirates knocked the White Sox down a peg, as Chicago’s division lead is down to 1 1/2 after a brutal, 2-0 loss and series sweep in Chicago. With only two hits in nine innings and five runs in total this series and never once leading a game, it’s time to shave the September ’staches, […]
Game Thread: Pirates (73-73) at White Sox (75-70)
With a sweep on the line, the White Sox need to lock in, with both pitching and the lack of hits over the last two games against the pesky Pirates. While the South Siders are still atop the American League Central, Cleveland is hanging around, and another loss tonight could be detrimental. Hagen Smith, who […]
The biggest decision of the year for White Sox management is coming right up
Anybody in sports management has to make a lot of decisions that may or may not pan out. GM Chris Getz made some last offseason that went well, and some at the trade deadline that have proven dismal. Manager Will Venable has to make decisions in-game that may or may not work that particular day, […]
Today in White Sox History: September 10
1927 With a 11-1 loss in the nightcap of a doubleheader in Washington, the White Sox began a 12-game losing streak, which remains tied for the fifth-longest in franchise history. The South Siders came into the game at a respectable 65-68, but losing 15 of 20 to end the season dumped them down from 30 […]
Clutch hits remain buried treasure for White Sox
The bats have vanished at the worst possible moment. Chicago squandered scoring opportunities in consecutive innings, went 1-for-8 with runners in scoring position and fell to the Pirates, 4-2, on Wednesday night. Pittsburgh takes the series, but at least the Guardians did us a favor by losing to Baltimore, so the AL Central gap holds […]
White Sox Minor League Update: September 9, 2026
Charlotte Knights 5, Buffalo Bisons 4The Knights (76-64) found a way to rally after a tough top of the eighth for the bullpen against the Bisons (65-73). As a result, Charlotte won a game with plenty of ups and downs. Knights starter Jonathan Cannon, 26, built on his last start, when he pitched 5 1/3 […]
Game Thread: Pirates (72-73) at White Sox (75-69)
A bit of housekeeping before tonight’s game: The White Sox placed righthander Tyler Davis on the Bereavement/Family Medical Emergency List and recalled lefthander Chris Murphy from Triple-A Charlotte. After getting shellacked, 9-3, last night, the South Siders could use a convincing win tonight. Davis Martin gets the ball for Chicago as it attempts to protect […]
Today in White Sox History: September 9
1913 With a solo homer leading off the top of the second inning, Ping Bodie snapped a 26 ⅓-inning scoring drought for the White Sox. The streak began during a 1-0 win over the St. Louis Browns on September 5 and lasted through 4-0 and 1-0 whitewashes to the Browns the next two days and […]
Pirates plunder the White Sox in series opener, 9-3
It was a one-sided slugfest on the South Side as the Pirates (72-73) teed off on the White Sox (75-69), mashing 18 hits and scoring nine to defeat the South Siders in Tuesday’s series opener, 9-3. Sean Burke relinquished a career-high seven runs in tonight’s start, and only lasted 1 1/3 frames before surrendering the […]
Dash of the Titans
The Dash spent most of Tuesday night trying to dig out of an early six-run hole. With one swing in the ninth and one more big hit in the 10th, they completed the comeback. Winston-Salem erased a three-run deficit on Javier Mogollón’s two-out homer in the bottom of the ninth before Nick McLain delivered a […]
White Sox Minor League Update: September 8, 2026
Charlotte Knights 4, Buffalo Bisons 1The Knights (75-64) used the long ball and a dominant outing from Drew Thorpe to cruise to a 4-1 victory. Tim Elko kicked off the scoring with a solo shot in the bottom of the second, giving Charlotte an early 1-0 lead. Junior Perez gave Charlotte some breathing room in […]
Game Thread: Pirates (71-73) at White Sox (75-68)
After a much-needed series win at home against the Minnesota Twins, the White Sox face the Pittsburgh Pirates for the only time this season, a three-game set before the Good Guys head down to St. Louis over the weekend. The White Sox flexed Sunday into a bullpen game, because of course, and shifted righthander Sean […]

Welcome to SB Nation Reacts, a survey of fans across MLB. Throughout the year we ask questions of the most plugged-in White Sox fans and fans across the country. Not everyone is comfortable with presumptions, but, oh well, that’s what you’re faced with this week. The White Sox are in comfortable position in terms of […]
Today in White Sox History: September 8
1901 At South Side Park, the first-place White Sox treated 19,800 fans — the largest crowd the American League (in its first year as a major league) sees all season — to a thriller. In the bottom of the ninth, down 3-2 to the Boston Americans, catcher Billy Sullivan and pinch-hitter Nixey Callahan singled, and […]
Kannapolis Cannon Ballers 2026 Season Review
It was a steady and encouraging season for the Kannapolis Cannon Ballers, who finished 2026 in third place in the Carolina League South with a 71-61 overall record. After going 33-33 and finishing fifth in the first half, the Ballers found another gear, going 38-28 and climbing to second place in the second half. Kannapolis […]

Today in White Sox History: September 7
1901 With a three-game lead in the race for the pennant, the White Sox hosted the second place Boston Americans at South Side Park in the start of a four-game set. A three-run rally in the fourth, fueled by one of Herm McFarland’s two doubles on the day, led to a 4-1 win. Nixey Callahan […]
White Sox Minor League Update: September 6, 2026
Gwinnett Stripers 5, Charlotte Knights 2Both the Knights (74-64) and Stripers (70-67) scored in the first, and came up with five hits each in the game, but Charlotte struck out 18 times as a team and were never able to get any runners in scoring position, losing in back-to-back nights to split the series. Both of […]
RISP finally leads to reward, White Sox take series from Twins
Call it a winning streak! Not for the White Sox. Taking two of three from an AL Central rival in what wound up being emphatic 10-1 fashion is always satisfying, but it wasn’t two in a row. No, folks, I’m celebrating me and my absolute heater of 10 wins in 11 recap tries. Put me […]
Game Thread: Twins (68-74) at White Sox (74-68)
The White Sox are set to conclude their season series against the Minnesota Twins under the bright lights of Sunday Night Baseball. Bryan Hudson will be the opener for the Sox, his eighth time appearing in the role this year. He’s been largely effective to this point, allowing three earned runs over eight innings leading […]
South Side Sox Reacts: High-80s wins are right on target
It was a dangerous question to ask, with the Cleveland Guardians still on Chicago’s heels. No one wants to be a curse, certainly not with a Reacts question. But we were bold, asking you to pinpoint a wins total for the White Sox with just a month remaining. So far, 60% of you are right […]
Today in White Sox History: September 6
1903 Doc White of the White Sox hurled a one-hitter in beating Cleveland, 1-0, in 10 innings in Chicago. It would be the first of five one-hitters thrown by White between 1903 and 1908 without ever throwing a no-hitter. Cleveland’s only hit was by third baseman Bill Bradley, a double. White also threw one-hitters against the Browns in 1904, […]
White Sox Minor League Update: September 5, 2026
Gwinnett Stripers 5, Charlotte Knights 3Not only did the Stripers (69-67) outhit the Knights (74-63), 8-6, but a bullpen implosion in the eighth allowed Gwinnett to take the lead and ultimately win the game, 5-3. The good news is that Charlotte is still hanging in second place, on the cusp of a playoff berth. The […]
