White Sox recalled C Drew Romo from Triple-A Charlotte.

Romo returns to the big leagues for the first time in nearly a month with veteran Jake Rogers away from the club on paternity leave. The 25-year-old backstop hit .141 (25-for-177) with seven homers and one steal in 60 games for the White Sox earlier this season.
Jake Rogers

CWS Catcher #28

White Sox placed C Jake Rogers on the paternity list.

Rogers will miss Chicago’s final two regular-season contests while on paternity leave. He should make it back in time for the start of the postseason next week.
Munetaka Murakami

CWS 1st Baseman #5

Munetaka Murakami went 3-for-4 with two homers and three RBI in Friday’s win over the Rockies.

Murakami blasted a 403-foot homer off of Tomoyuki Sugano in the bottom of the first inning to put the White Sox up 2-0, and would get the best of Sugano again in the seventh inning on another solo homer to extend Chicago’s lead to 4-1. In the bottom of the eighth inning, Murakami would single to drive home Sam Antonacci, pushing his RBI total to 77 on the season. Murakami is now sitting on 35 homers with two games left to go in the regular season for the White Sox.
Sean Burke

CWS Starting Pitcher #59

Sean Burke allowed one earned run over 5 1/3 innings and struck out seven to earn the win on Friday over the Rockies.

Burke was taken deep by TJ Rumfield in the top of the second inning to cut the White Sox’s lead to 2-1, but he would settle in after that to turn in a solid outing, allowing just three runners to reach base until the sixth inning, when he would be pulled after giving up a one-out double to Hunter Goodman. Burke ends the regular season with an 11-7 record and a 3.34 ERA. Burke has pitched well as the White Sox prepare for the postseason, allowing just three earned runs over his last 16 1/3 innings of work while striking out 16 batters.
Chase Meidroth

CWS 2nd Baseman #10

Chase Meidroth was held out of the White Sox’ starting lineup on Friday due to left hamstring discomfort.

White Sox’ skipper Will Venable noted that Meidroth has been playing through several minor injuries, with the hamstring issue ranking at the top of the list. He’s expected to be available off the bench on Friday and should return to the starting lineup on Saturday. Sam Antonacci will cover second base in his absence while Randal Grichuk will draw a start in left field and will bat seventh against Rockies’ right-hander Tomoyuki Sugano.
Kyle Teel

CWS Catcher #8

Kyle Teel went 2-for-2 with a homer, two HBPs, a walk and three runs scored as the White Sox routed the Royals 9-1 on Thursday to clinch a postseason spot.

The AL Central is still up for grabs with the White Sox 82-77 and the Guardians 82-76 ahead of Thursday night’s game, but both teams are in. Teel’s homer today was his fifth. He’s batting just .196 in 136 plate appearances, but his OBP is a solid .333 with his 19 walks and four HBPs.
David Sandlin

CWS Starting Pitcher #54

David Sandlin defeated the Royals by pitching six innings of one-run ball on Thursday.

The White Sox prevailed 9-1 today, making this the most competitive of Sandlin’s three wins; the previous victories were 15-2 against the Twins in May and 22-1 against the Royals in June. It’s left a rather odd situation in which the White Sox have gone 3-5 in Sandlin’s outings despite outscoring the opposition 68-44. Sandlin ends the year with a 5.58 ERA, though his 40/13 K/BB in 40 1/3 innings isn’t too bad. He should have a chance to compete for a rotation spot next spring, but he’ll probably end up back in Triple-A for a spell.
Colson Montgomery

CWS Shortstop #12

Colson Montgomery went 0-for-4 and tied the major league record with his 223rd strikeout Thursday against the Royals.

Montgomery’s strikeout today moved him past Adam Dunn’s White Sox record, set in 2012, and into a tie with Mark Reynolds’s 2009 major league record. The White Sox have clinched a postseason spot, so Montgomery could do some sitting this weekend. However, there’s no way he’ll sit out all three games in an attempt to avoid breaking the record. It’s just not that big of a deal, especially for a 24-year-old with 31 homers and 87 RBI as a shortstop and third baseman for a playoff team,
Luis Castillo

CWS Starting Pitcher #58

White Sox placed RHP Luis Castillo on the 15-day injured list with right shoulder impingement.

Castillo’s velocity issues suggest he’s been dealing with this for a spell, but it probably didn’t help decided to suddenly turn him into a reliever and use him on one day of a rest Tuesday. He still could potentially see some postseason time, but he ends the regular season 4-11 with a 5.85 ERA in 130 2/3 innings. He’s owed $22.75 million next year in the final season of a five-year contract.
Tyler Davis

CWS Relief Pitcher

White Sox recalled RHP Tyler Davis from Triple-A Charlotte.

Davis was sent down just nine days ago, but now he’ll apparently get to finish the year in the White Sox pen. He has a 3.52 ERA in 29 appearances this season.
