Chase Meidroth

CWS 2nd Baseman #10

Chase Meidroth went 1-for-4 and swatted a two-run homer on Thursday evening, but it wasn’t enough to power the White Sox to victory over the Guardians in Cleveland.

Meidroth victimized Guardians’ right-hander Slade Cecconi for a 349-foot (100.6-mph EV) two-run shot in the sixth inning that extended the White Sox’ lead to 5-2. That would be the extent of their offense though. The 24-year-old infielder is now slashing .272/.343/.387 on the season to go along with seven long balls, 29 RBI and two stolen bases (in four attempts) over 355 plate appearances for the White Sox.
Grant Taylor

CWS Relief Pitcher #31

Grant Taylor suffered a blown save on Thursday night against the Guardians, giving up a walk-off two-run homer Brayan Rocchio.

Taylor was called upon in the eighth inning with the White Sox clinging to a one-run advantage. He issued a one-out walk to Steven Kwan but escaped any damage and recorded a pair of strikeouts. He was then sent back out for the ninth when trouble ensued. He issued a leadoff walk to Rhys Hoskins, then after retiring Kahlil Watson on a fly ball, served up Rocchio’s game-winning blast. It’s Taylor’s first loss on the season. Hopefully it won’t cost him save chances going forward, as he still seems to be the most capable option at the back of the White Sox’ bullpen.
Davis Martin

CWS Starting Pitcher #65

Davis Martin struggled mightily during a no-decision against the Guardians on Thursday evening, allowing two runs on six hits over 3 1/3 innings of work.

Martin just could not command the baseball in this one, issuing five free passes in his abbreviated outing. It’s also the first time in 61 career starts that he failed to record a single strikeout. All of the damage done against him came in the third inning as Travis Bazzana smacked an RBI double and Brayan Rocchio worked a bases-loaded walk. Martin threw just 37 of his 73 pitches for strikes, generating just three whiffs and posting a miserable CSW of just 14 percent. He’ll look to bounce back and finish the first half strong as he carries a 9-3 record, 3.08 ERA, 1.26 WHIP and a 90/29 K/BB ratio (96 1/3 innings) into Wednesday’s matchup against the Red Sox.
Noah Schultz

CWS Starting Pitcher #76

Noah Schultz took the loss on Wednesday in Baltimore, allowing three earned runs on two hits and four walks in 4 1/3 innings pitched.

Schultz struck out seven and looked fantastic through four innings, but things unraveled in the fifth, and multiple inherited runners scored. This was the rookie’s first start since May 24 as he missed over a month due to a knee injury. Walks remain a problem for the left-hander, and he’ll look for better results next time out against the Red Sox.
Sam Antonacci

CWS 2nd Baseman

Sam Antonacci went 2-for-4 with a solo home run as the White Sox fell to the Orioles 6-1 on Wednesday afternoon.

Antonacci took Dean Kremer deep on the second pitch of the game, but it was the only run Chicago could muster. The rookie hit just one homer from April 15 through June 13, but he’s left the yard four times since then. He was already profiling as a strong fantasy asset with batting average, runs scored, and stolen-base upside, but the recent power uptick is surely welcomed. He’ll remain a must-start fantasy option as the White Sox head to Cleveland for a four-game set beginning Thursday.
Tyler Schweitzer

CWS Relief Pitcher

White Sox optioned LHP Tyler Schweitzer to Triple-A Charlotte

Schweitzer was just called up last week and threw four shutout innings on Tuesday, allowing four hits and striking out three. He’ll be sent down to make room for Noah Schultz’s return, but Schweitzer should get another shot over the summer.
Noah Schultz

CWS Starting Pitcher #76

White Sox activated LHP Noah Schultz (knee) from the 15-day injured list.

Schultz will take the mound on Wednesday against the Orioles. His last rehab outing was 74 pitches, so we should expect to see a pitch count somewhere in the mid-80s in this one. The 22-year-old has plenty of strikeout upside, but has also battled some command issues throughout the season, so that pitch count may not allow him to complete five innings and be qualified for the win. We have no problem adding him if he was dropped in your league, but we may not start him right off the IL.
Jacob Gonzalez

CWS Shortstop

Jacob Gonzalez went 3-for-5 with two doubles and three RBI as the White Sox took down the Orioles 9-3 on Tuesday.

A week ago, Gonzalez was hitting .163 and seemed like a lock to be sent down to the minors once Munetaka Murakami came off the IL, if not before. However, his last six games have seen him go 11-for-24 with four doubles, a homer and 12 RBI, putting him at .260/.340/.397 in 82 plate appearances overall. He’s still not promised anything, but given that he can play anywhere in the infield, he now certainly has a chance of sticking around once Murakami comes back.
Erick Fedde

CWS Starting Pitcher #47

Erick Fedde yielded three runs in five innings Tuesday in a victory over the Orioles.

Fedde won for the second time in nine starts and third time overall in 17 appearances for the White Sox this season. He’s been adequate in posting a 4.41 ERA in spite of a 53/33 K/BB through 79 2/3 innings. The White Sox might be able to do better at some point, but they’ll stick with him for now and have him face the Guardians, perhaps behind a left-handed opener, on Sunday.
Tyler Schweitzer

CWS Relief Pitcher

Tyler Schweitzer threw four scoreless innings in relief to pick up a save in a 9-3 game against the Orioles on Tuesday.

Schweitzer’s first outing since being recalled on Saturday was his longest in five major league appearances and 19 outings in Triple-A this season. He gave up four hits, walked none and struck out three while throwing 46 pitches, 36 of which were strikes. His reward is probably going to be a demotion, since the White Sox need to activate Noah Schultz from the IL on Wednesday, but at least he helped his stock some tonight.
