White Sox 3, Blue Jays 0: Burke remains boffo after break
As the pregame notes teased, two White Sox pitching trends entered Sunday's rubber match north of the border: Sean Burke dominating over his last five starts (32 IP, 1.69 ERA, 42 K, 5 BB) Baffling home (3.18 ERA) and road (5.05 ERA) splits for Sox pitching The post White Sox 3, Blue Jays 0: Burke remains boffo after break appeared first on Sox Machine .
First pitch: White Sox at Blue Jays
The White Sox have won one of their last nine road series (the Cleveland split counts as a draw) and are trying not to make it one of 10. Part of the reason for the home-road disparity is Sox pitching running a 5.05 ERA on the road, compared to a 3.18 ERA at home.

Jordan Hicks is raising up to a new level, just in time for a White Sox bullpen that needs a boost
Even when his walks dwarfed his strikeout totals, even as his ERA ballooned over 5.00 earlier in the year, even when he went on the injured list with a lat strain, Jordan Hicks maintained at least one steadfast supporter in his bullpen colleague Sean Newcomb. "I've been excited since spring to see how that would go, getting back to his old role," Newcomb said. "There's not many guys in the game with that kind of electric stuff. Obviously when he was in San Francisco he was in a different rol...
White Sox Minor Keys: July 18, 2026
BOWLING GREEN, Ky. — The Winston-Salem Dash are in between rosters right now, having graduated nearly all of their highest-ranked prospects to Birmingham, but without commensurate reinforcements coming up from Kannapolis. In other words, they could really use Roch Cholowsky. That said, I was interested in seeing James Taussig, who came into Saturday hitting .265/.371/.615… The post White Sox Minor Keys: July 18, 2026 appeared first on Sox Machine .

First pitch: White Sox at Blue Jays
A victory on Saturday would give the White Sox a season-high four consecutive road victories, and would match a franchise record for six-straight wins over the Blue Jays, which they haven’t pulled off since 2016. Everson Pereira and Drew Thorpe begin rehab assignments with the ACL White Sox on Saturday, while Austin Hays began his rehab assignment with Triple-A Charlotte on Friday night.

Sporcle Saturday: All-Stars back to 1950
Good morning! The All-Star game is officially in the books, and Miguel Vargas acquitted himself well . The White Sox for the first time since 2021 sent three (or more) all-stars to the game, and for the first time since 2008 that included the third base position.

White Sox Minor Keys: July 17, 2026
With their signings made official on Thursday, 20 of the 21 White Sox draft picks taken earlier this week are officially White Sox prospects, but that step wasn’t necessary for Baseball America to begin slotting the recently selected players into its revised top 100 prospects list. As you might expect from a No. 1 overall… The post White Sox Minor Keys: July 17, 2026 appeared first on Sox Machine .
White Sox 12, Blue Jays 4: Picking up where they left off
Last season, the White Sox came out of the All-Star break with a 10-1 pasting of the Pittsburgh Pirates , the first of three convincing victories in front of many Sox Machine subscribers at PNC Park. It set the tone for a respectable second-half showing that they rolled into a surprising first-place showing during the first half of the 2026 season. This time, the Sox came out of the break by sending waves of offense against the Toronto Blue Jays. They blitzed Spencer Miles for five runs in t...

White Sox announce signings of the 2026 draft picks they’re going to sign
The White Sox signaled that their recent draft picks were likely to sign and sign soon by establishing a draft camp in Charlotte that started Thursday.

White Sox release 2027 schedule, which takes back seat to rest of 2026
For the first time in forever, the release of next year’s White Sox schedule is no longer a welcome distraction from the remainder of the current one. Granted, you might be able to say the same thing even if the White Sox weren’t about to start the second half of the season tied for first… The post White Sox release 2027 schedule, which takes back seat to rest of 2026 appeared first on Sox Machine .
Following up: In review(s), White Sox capitalized on advantages in 2026 MLB draft
Amid all the fun little details in Jesse Rogers’ story from inside the White Sox’s discussions about the No. 1 draft pick, Chris Getz inadvertently laid to rest the idea that he actually believed Luisangel Acuña was a switch-hitter. Late in the piece, Rogers gets to the negotiations between Getz and Joel Wolfe, who happens… The post Following up: In review(s), White Sox capitalized on advantages in 2026 MLB draft appeared first on Sox Machine .
Miguel Vargas savors star-making moment at MLB All-Star Game: ‘I have no words’
PHILADELPHIA -- Andy Pages was Miguel Vargas' roommate throughout their rise through the Dodgers minor league system. Throughout his struggles and the nadir of the 2024 season, even as they're no longer teammates, Pages has been Vargas' steadfast confidant and supporter . But on Tuesday night in Philadelphia as they both appeared in the All-Star Game for the first time in their lives, Vargas' old friend robbed him of extra bases.

White Sox Minor Keys: July 13-14, 2026
Along with the major league club, the White Sox's four full-season affiliates are also in their All-Star break, leaving just the team's Arizona Complex League and Dominican Summer League affiliates for the first several days of the week. With less action and fewer transactions, the Minor Keys downshifts to a post whenever there's a critical mass of box scores and/or prospect news. In this case, there's a little bit of both.

All-Star Game notes: Munetaka Murakami wants to be with White Sox for the long-term
PHILADELPHIA -- You only need to hear Munetaka Murakami sing the chorus to "Strokin'" but so many times, or see him gaze lovingly at Miguel Vargas during pregame workouts in Philadelphia to glean that he is satisfied with being with the White Sox. But with a crush of national reporters in the American League clubhouse revisiting his once-surprising free agency decision, Murakami delivered an affirming status update.

Amid the best players in the world at the All-Star Game, Miguel Vargas is where he always belonged
PHILADELPHIA -- A warm smile creeps across the face of any Dodgers veteran at the mere mention of White Sox All-Star third baseman Miguel Vargas. "We're always in contact, we talk all the time," said his good friend Andy Pages via interpreter. "I know how much work he put into this. I know how much went into it."

Pregame notes: Munetaka Murakami is in the MLB Home Run Derby
PHILADELPHIA -- It was an assumption, a poor one, by this reporter, that the scrum around Miguel Vargas' table during All-Star Game media availability would be less crowded, fierce and chaotic than the furor surrounding Munetaka Murakami. Apologies to all Spanish-language sports media, I was not adequately familiar with your game. The post Pregame notes: Munetaka Murakami is in the MLB Home Run Derby appeared first on Sox Machine .
White Sox 2026 MLB Draft Day 2 recap
The White Sox hadn’t held the first overall pick in nearly 40 years, and when they selected Harold Baines at No. 1 back in 1977, he didn’t even have representation until Roland Hemond called him the night before. So it’s fair to call the 2026 draft the most anticipated one in White Sox history. And… The post White Sox 2026 MLB Draft Day 2 recap appeared first on Sox Machine .
White Sox Minor Keys: July 12, 2026
Shane Smith returned to Charlotte after completing his rehab stint at Winston-Salem, which means that he also returned to pitching in a Statcast ballpark. The improved strike-throwing he’d shown in his last start with the Dash carried over to Sunday with the Knights, and with his typical velocity. He maintained 95-96 mph over the course… The post White Sox Minor Keys: July 12, 2026 appeared first on Sox Machine .

A Futures Game chat with Caleb Bonemer, a self-scrutinizing top White Sox prospect
PHILADELPHIA -- Caleb Bonemer has always been a good interview , but especially for this site , as he's always willing to dive into the weeds discussing his swing. But that might be the wrong way to describe it. It's more like we're diving into the weeds of his swing. Bonemer simply lives there, even as he's standing at his locker before the MLB Futures Game, donning an All-Star jersey and surrounded by the most media members he's ever seen in his life.
