Grant Taylor

CWS Relief Pitcher #31

Personalize your Rotoworld feed by favoriting players

MLB.com’s Scott Merkin reports Grant Taylor will open up Friday’s game against the Blue Jays.

He’ll be followed by Sean Burke. Taylor has thrown two innings in relief this year, allowing one run, and has mostly been out of the closing mix for the White Sox so far this year after saving six games in 2025. Burke should be the one with the chance at a win.
Noah Schultz

CWS Starting Pitcher #76

White Sox LHP prospect Noah Schultz allowed one run on two hits in five innings for Triple-A Charlotte on Wednesday.

Schultz also struck out five and walked one. He has now allowed just three hits in his first nine innings of the season. He sat 96.6 mph on his four-seam fastball and maintained that velocity for much of the game, even averaging 98.1 mph in his final inning of work. He struggled to command his sinker, which led him to get behind in some counts, but he was still a bit too overpowering for his Triple-A opponents. He had only two whiffs on a non-fastball in this one, so that will be something to monitor as he gets closer to a big league opportunity.
William Bergolla Jr.

CWS Shortstop

White Sox INF prospect William Bergola Jr. went 3-for-4 with an RBI and a run scored for Triple-A Charlotte on Wednesday.

Through five games, Bergolla has gone 12-for-20 (.600) with three doubles, six RBI, three walks, and two stolen bases. The 21-year-old also hit .286/.342/.333 in 125 games at Double-A last year with 40 stolen bases. There is little power to speak of here, but Bergolla is a good defender up the middle and clearly has plenty of speed. If he can continue to get on base at a high rate, he could become an interesting fantasy player.
Shane Smith

CWS Starting Pitcher #64

Shane Smith was lit up for eight runs — seven earned — in three innings by the Marlins on Wednesday.

This couldn’t be going any more differently than last year. In 2025, Smith allowed 12 runs over his first eight outings, giving him a 2.08 ERA. This year, he’s allowed 12 runs in two starts and has a 19.29 ERA. The White Sox probably won’t need a big excuse to send Smith down for a bit after he collected a full year of service time as a Rule 5 pick last season; just giving him three weeks to work things out in Triple-A would push his free agency back by a year. We’re probably not there yet, but one more bad outing might be sufficient. He’s slated to face the Orioles next Wednesday.
Everson Pereira

CWS Center Fielder #28

Everson Pereira left Wednesday’s game against the Marlins with left ankle soreness.

Consider him day-to-day. Derek Hill took over in right field. Pereira struck out in both of his at-bats before departing.
Lucas Sims

CWS Relief Pitcher #39

White Sox selected the contract of RHP Lucas Sims from Triple-A Charlotte.

Sims has thrown one scoreless inning in Triple-A this season, but the White Sox will bring the veteran up to have a spot in their bullpen. He struggled last season in Washington and has not been a high-impact reliever for a few years now.
Jedixson Paez

CWS Starting Pitcher #63

White Sox designated RHP Jedixson Paez for assignment.

This is a rough break for Paez. The 22-year-old had never pitched above High-A but was selected by the White Sox in the Rule 5 draft, so they had to keep him on the MLB roster or give him back to the Red Sox. He lasted a week on the roster and will now be available to other teams on waivers. If he clears, he’ll likely rejoin the Red Sox.
Munetaka Murakami

CWS 3rd Baseman #5

Munetaka Murakami went 1-for-4 with an RBI single during Tuesday’s loss to the Marlins.

Murakami’s run-scoring single up the middle in the – carried a 106.2 mph exit velocity. He also struck out twice in this one. The 26-year-old offseason import has pretty much come as advertised in the early portion of his White Sox debut, whiffing frequently while also making occasional hard contact. He’s recorded at least one hit in five straight contests to open his major-league career, batting .278 (5-for-18) with three homers and four RBI.
Erick Fedde

CWS Starting Pitcher #47

Erick Fedde was charged with four runs — three earned — over five innings on Tuesday in a loss to the Marlins.

Fedde posted four strikeouts and walked one batter in his season debut. He carried a shutout into the fourth inning before the metaphorical wheels came off the wagon his second time through Miami’s lineup as he coughed up four runs on five hits in the frame. He’ll take the ball on Monday against the Orioles his next time out.
Everson Pereira

CWS Center Fielder #28

Everson Pereira is not in the lineup Tuesday against the Marlins.

Pereira will get a day off after starting the season 4-for-14 (.286) with an impressive .905 OPS. He’ll get a break with Tristan Peters getting the start in right against Jason Junk and the Miami bullpen.
