Game Thread: White Sox (53-47) at Rangers (51-50)
After taking an old-fashioned Texas whoopin’ on Tuesday night, the White Sox will try to bounce back this evening and secure their 18th series win of the season. Even with last night’s 10-0 drubbing, Chicago still enters play in the thick of the AL Central race, though the Guardians’ win over the Twins means the […]
Today in White Sox History: July 22
1928 Hall-of-Famer Red Faber could do it all — and on occasion, he could hit. Up to bat in the top of the eighth at Yankee Stadium, with two outs and runners at second and third and the game tied, 4-4, Faber was down two strikes. The righty Faber then jumped across the plate to […]
Texas Baseball Massacre: Rangers blow out White Sox, 10-0
When all was said and done, it was simply not the South Siders’ night. The Rangers’ (51-50) offense blasted 18 hits to shut out the White Sox (53-47), 10-0. Their bats were seemingly in hibernation while the pitchers were dishing out hits and runs left and right like it was an Oprah episode. Before Tuesday’s […]
White Sox Minor League Update: July 20-21
Charlotte Knights 7, Norfolk Tides 6Charlotte (51-46) had to battle from behind, but a pair of rehabbing big leaguers helped spark the comeback. The Tides grabbed an early 1-0 lead after the dreaded leadoff walk surrendered by David Sandlin came around to score in the first. However, the Knights’ cavalry broke through in the fourth […]
Game Thread: White Sox (53-46) at Rangers (50-50)
The Chicago offense exploded in its 10-3 series-opening win on Monday, knocking veteran Jacob deGrom around for five runs in the process. Which means the White Sox pitching needs to be extra good today, since their bats will probably only scrape up a couple runs on somewhere between three and six hits, as that seems […]

Today in White Sox History: July 21
1917 After splitting the first two of a five-game series at Comiskey Park, the AL-leading White Sox battled the second-place Red Sox over 15 innings, with the game declared a 5-5 tie on account of darkness. The game was so close, that aside from a 1-0 Boston lead in the second and third innings, no […]
Bigger in Texas, Sox offense slugs way to 10-3 win
The hot-and-cold nature of the Sox offense as of late gave a fizzled first-inning rally an ominous feeling. Sam Antonacci drew a rare leadoff walk against Jacob deGrom, and just a few pitches later a Munetaka Murakami double had him standing 90 feet from home. Yet some baserunning butchery saw the game remain scoreless into […]
Game Thread: White Sox (52-46) at Rangers (50-49)
Another series win is in the books, and there’s no doubt the AL Central leaders would like to notch another one before heading into a soon-to-be-rare off day later this week. Tonight, there’s just one problem with that. His name is Jacob deGrom. deGrom is still an elite pitcher, but at age 38 he’s not […]
White Sox Weekly July 6-19, 2026
Before the White Sox could get to a well-deserved All-Star break, there were two home series left to tackle. The Boston Red Sox came to Chicago after sweeping the Angels on the road, with a record of 40-48. As of Sunday, July 19, the East Coast squad has won 13 games in a row and […]
White Sox Minor League Update: July 19, 2026
Durham Bulls 3, Charlotte Knights 2Despite outhitting the Bulls (43-51), 11-5, the Knights (50-46) couldn’t muster up more than two runs, dropping their first series back out of the break. Lefthander Shane Murphy made his 15th start of the season and ended up with two runs allowed (one earned), struggling with three walks throughout his […]
The Young and the Relentless: Burke and the Montgomerys stifle Jays, 3-0
In his postgame interview on Peacock today, Colson Montgomery was asked how the White Sox withstood a nine-K start from Toronto star Trey Yesavage to eventually break through and bounce him from the game: “Just be relentless.” As is the wont of a rare national interviewer, that chat quickly came around to asking about the […]
Game Thread: White Sox(51-46) at Blue Jays (46-52)
Who would’ve thunk last fall watching Trey Yeasavage mow through AL hitters that just a few long months later, we’d be saying things like “Yeah he’s good, but Sean Burke might wind up getting some Cy Young votes, has the advantage.” Obviously I’m being rather liberal with the royal “we” there, because I might really […]
South Side Sox Reacts: Roch’s our lock, but all the picks proved popular
In retrospect, who issues a poll asking whether the No. 1 overall choice in a draft is a team’s most popular pick? Well, South Side Sox does, that’s who. And while Roch Cholowsky ran away with the poll win, in a year where a team did a lesser job of crushing the draft, Roch’s win […]
White Sox Minor League Update: July 18, 2026
What a fun way to kick off tonight’s update! With 20 of 21 players from the draft now having signed, the White Sox released footage of the 2026 draft class working out during Draft Camp in Charlotte: Your browser does not support the video tag. With the future looking solid, let’s take our usual biweekly […]
Chicago White Sox 2026 draft pick signing tracker
July 18 updateWith a last flurry of bonus amounts via Baseball America and Future Sox, we now has a complete class of signings, as Draft Camp in Charlotte gets underway. Round 20 pick Connor Fennell will not be signing with the White Sox. The club apparently did push $643,200 past their bonus pool, meaning it […]
Blue Jays fly over White Sox, 1-0
When you have a game featuring one pitcher who was once a superstar but has been awful all year facing another who was a big star earlier in the season but hadn’t been for weeks, it could go either way — slugfest or pitchers’ duel. Duel it was, and a good one. Fast one, too […]
Game Thread: White Sox (51-45) at Blue Jays (45-52)
Given how much the White Sox have crushed right handed starters recently, Sox fans seeing another righty on the schedule may well go, “Oh, yesss!!” Then when they see who it is, they may well go, “Oh, noooo!!!” And then, when they look at recent stats, they’ll be back to, “Oh, yesss!!” again. That’s because […]
White Sox Minor League Update: July 16-17, 2026
Durham Bulls 8, Charlotte Knights 2Coming out of the midseason break, Charlotte looked sluggish in its 8-2 loss to Durham. The only two runs came from a two-out Bulls throwing error in the top of the first and Ryan Galanie’s RBI single in the fourth. In the end, Charlotte put more men on base with […]
White Sox continue dominance of Blue Jays, win in 12-4 rout
The season may be 162 games long, but there are certain games that hold more weight than others. In the case of the White Sox, there are few that will hold as much weight as tonight’s game being the first after the All-Star break. It set the tone for the second half, which will be […]

Game Thread: White Sox (50-45) at Blue Jays (45-51)
With the All-Star break now behind us, it’s back to the grind of the MLB season. In what can only be described as the shock of the season, the Chicago White Sox enter the second half of the season tied for first atop the AL Central. With 67 games left, the final push for the […]
Three starting pitcher rental targets for the White Sox
At the midseason break, the 50-45 White Sox find themselves in the most ideal place one could ask for: Tied for first with Guardians, in one of the weakest MLB divisions — second to only the AL West by a couple of games, and with their starters all healthy. For a team seeking to finish […]
From fan to credentialed media: My unforgettable weekend covering the 2026 MLB draft
There are moments in life when you have to stop and ask yourself, “How in the world did I get here?” Walking into the Pennsylvania Convention Center last Saturday morning with an official MLB media credential hanging around my neck was one of those moments. Four years ago, I wasn’t writing about baseball. I wasn’t […]
Today in White Sox History: July 17
1917 In the opener of an eventual doubleheader sweep over the Senators, Eddie Cicotte spun a one-hitter for his 15th win of the season. Chick Gandil had the big offensive game for Chicago, going 3-for-4 with an RBI double. The win pushed the White Sox to 21 games better than .500, at 52-31. They made […]
