White Sox cruise past Astros, 5-1
The White Sox (73-65) rebounded from Monday’s rough loss to the Astros (70-69), defeating Houston behind South Side ace Sean Burke. The righthander earned his eighth win of the season. Despite getting off to a rocky start in the bottom of the first, Burke battled through his 5 2/3 innings, allowing just one hit while […]
White Sox Minor League Update: September 1, 2026
Charlotte Knights 3, Gwinnett Stripers 1 (10 innings) Noah Schultz took the hill for the Knights (72-61) and breezed through four innings. Then came the fifth: a leadoff single, an airmailed throw by Schultz and a sacrifice fly, and suddenly the Stripers were on the board. Schultz’s night ended after 4 2/3 innings. He allowed […]
Game Thread: White Sox (72-65) at Astros (70-68)
After falling flat in Monday night’s series opener, the White Sox will aim to improve their situational hitting in an effort to provide run support for their ace Sean Burke. With yesterday’s loss, the Good Guys still hold a three-game lead in the AL Central, but Chicago needs to take care of business in Houston […]

Get the best of South Side Sox on the new SB Nation app
With the White Sox stunning baseball — and most of us fans — with their stranglehold on first place throughout the second half, life has been pretty good on the South Side this summer. And, believe it or not, our fan experience now has gotten even better. It’s a big day for South Side Sox. […]
South Side Sox Reacts: Final season record, one more time
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. Here’s a sign of a fabulous season: We run several “wins prediction” surveys over the course of a season … and each time, the options […]
Today in White Sox History: September 1
1905 Five years into their time as an official MLB team, the White Sox made their first-ever Rule 5 draft picks: catcher Branch Rickey and middle infielder George Andreas from the unaffiliated Dallas Giants. Rickey was sold to the Milwaukee Brewers of the American Association before the 1906 season, but made his MLB debut in […]
Sloppy defense and soft offense hand the White Sox a hard loss in Houston
The White Sox disappointed in the first game of this four-game series in Houston, falling 6-3 to the Astros. Things were calm until the third inning, when Anthony Kay saw a little base path trouble after a throwing error and a walk put two runners on. Yordan Alvarez sent Nick Allen in to score with […]
Game Thread: White Sox (72-64) at Astros (69-68)
The White Sox continue their road trip with a stop in Houston to see the Astros, before they come back home to see another division rival. With the Guardians trying to steal first, a series win is needed as we enter September. First, a few White Sox announcements: Prior to tonight’s series opener at Houston, […]

1926 In a twin bill at Detroit, White Sox infielder Ray Morehart tied a major-league record in cranking out nine hits in 10 at-bats! Morehart went 5-for-6 in the opener, and then capped it off with a 4-for-4 performance in the nightcap. Two of his nine hits were doubles. Morehead’s five hits fueled a 19-2 win in the opener, […]
White Sox Minor League Update: August 30, 2026
Let’s lead off with some potentially exciting news, and news that could possibly eliminate the pesky bullpen games that have been plaguing the White Sox all season (including in Sunday’s loss at the Twins): Drew Thorpe was scratched from his Sunday start for Charlotte. Now, for a pitcher coming back from two years off and […]
Zebby Matthews didn’t Maddux the White Sox, but Chicago falls to Twins, 5-1
Other than the first inning Friday night, the White Sox had mostly been dependent on big help from the Twins to score runs this series, and this time the Twins forgot to help. Particularly unhelpful was Zebby Matthews, who retired the first 17 Sox and only needed 89 pitches to get through the first eight […]
Game Thread: White Sox (72-63) at Twins (64-72)
The White Sox will be going for a series sweep and fifth straight victory this afternoon against a Twins team that has lost four in a row and has been very generous in the first two games. Jordan Hicks will be playing the role of opener for the Sox for only the second time, his […]
South Side Sox Reacts: Confidence brims
It was a heady question to ask, with the Cleveland Guardians winding up the easiest stretch of schedule ever known, and riding it to a seven-game winning streak. But as we did, even as the White Sox lead in the AL Central was getting nibbled by the minnows: Would Chicago hold on and finish tall […]

1931 Forty years after the Rule 5 draft had began, the White Sox made their first Rule 5 pick from another MLB team: second baseman Carey Selph, hitting .322 for the Houston Buffaloes in the St. Louis Cardinals organization. Given that only injury had prevented Selph from ascending permanently to the majors, the perception was […]
White Sox Minor League Update: August 29, 2026
Charlotte Knights 5, Memphis Redbirds 4 (Opener — 9 innings)The Knights (69-61) opened up Saturday’s doubleheader with a bang, forcing a pair of extra innings before walking off the Redbirds (71-59) in nine innings. Because it was a seven-inning game, it was key that the Charlotte took an early three-run lead in the bottom of […]
White Sox accept gift from Twins, 3-2
Andrew Benintendi had three hits and was involved all three White Sox runs. The rest of the team had zilch. Didn’t matter, because the Twins are really bad, resulting in a 3-2 game and series win for the White Sox. Benintendi’s first hit was an RBI single in the first, a 78 mph squib through […]
Game Thread: White Sox (71-63) at Twins (64-71)
One of Ken Harrelson’s favorite sayings was, “It’s not who you play, it’s when you play ’em.” Like many a Hawkism, that’s partially true — both matter, after all — and the White Sox are again in good position when it comes to timing. That’s because Sox killer Byron Buxton — .916 career OPS, 24 […]

1915 White Sox pitcher Jim Scott fired a 5-0 shutout over the Philadelphia A’s … and he did it in only 68 minutes! It’s the fastest game ever played in team annals. He allowed three hits and struck out six. Scott won 24 games that year. 1930 In one of the most brilliant starts in White Sox history, Pat Caraway […]
Luis Castillo disappoints again, but the White Sox pen and bats don’t
This metaphor is probably only one that only the older siblings will understand but here goes: You know when you’re playing Mario Kart with your sibling and for one reason or another you try to let them win to make them feel better? Well that is exactly what happened on Friday night between the Chicago […]

Memphis Redbirds vs Charlotte Knights (Postponed due to rain)Charlotte’s date with the International League East leader has been postponed due to rain. The Knights and Redbirds will play a doubleheader on August 29. Birmingham Barons 3, Rocket City Trash Pandas 2 Thanks for coming out of hiding, Barons pitchers, we’ve missed you all season! It’s […]
Game Thread: White Sox (70-63) at Twins (64-70)
Just a few weeks ago, this series looked like it would all but determine the AL Central. While it still will go a long way towards that for the White Sox, a seven-game winning streak by the Cleveland Guardians that has seen them make their case as the only other “contender” in the division. With […]

1909 In the second inning of the opener of a doubleheader at South Side Park, Washington’s Dolly Gray set two major league records against the White Sox: He walked eight batters in the inning, and seven of them consecutive. Patsy Dougherty led off the inning with a single, and No. 5 hitter Frank Isbell either […]
White Sox Minor League Update: August 27, 2026
Memphis Redbirds 3, Charlotte Knights 2 (10 innings) Davis Martin looked terrific in his first rehab start, tossing five scoreless innings while allowing just one hit and one walk with five strikeouts. Here’s hoping it was a preview of what he can provide when he returns to Chicago. The Knights (68-61) gave Martin a little […]
