Lenyn

Sosa

Sosa’s home run off of Cade Cavalli was his 22nd of the season. He also has 75 RBI to go along with a .263/.292/.433 slash line. It’s been a bit of a mini breakout for the 25-year-old, and he could be intriguing in fantasy leagues next year if the White Sox can add some pieces around him.

Even in a breakout season for the 25-year-old infielder, Sosa has found himself getting regular days off down the stretch as the White Sox attempt to work everyone into their lineup. Curtis Mead will start at the hot corner on Thursday evening while Miguel Vargas slides over to cover first base against Carlos Rodon and the Yankees.

It appears to be nothing more than a routine night off for the hard-hitting infielder. Miguel Vargas will cover first base for the White Sox on Friday night while Curtis Mead will start at the hot corner and bat seventh against Padres’ right-hander Dylan Cease.

It appears to be nothing more than a routine night off for the 23-year-old slugger. Chase Meidroth will slide over and cover shortstop, Lenyn Sosa will handle second base and Curtis Mead will start at first base and bat second for the Sox against Guardians’ southpaw Parker Messick.

Sosa ambushed the first pitch that he saw from Charlie Morton in the third inning for a 451-foot (109.8 mph EV) solo shot that tied the game at 3-3. He then delivered a go-ahead two-run single off of Will Vest in the eighth inning that proved to be the difference in the ballgame. Sosa finished the afternoon 2-for-4 plus a walk and is now slashing .263/.295/.435 with 20 homers and 65 RBI on the season.

It appears to be nothing more than a routine night off for the 25-year-old slugger. Curtis Mead will cover first base in his absence on Friday evening while Bryan Ramos will draw a start at third base and bat eighth for the White Sox against Tigers’ right-hander Jack Flaherty.

Sosa did his damage off of Thomas Hatch in the seventh inning, crushing a 2-0 sweeper for a 425-foot (106.0 mph EV) solo shot to extend the White Sox’ advantage to 7-3. The 25-year-old is having a breakout season at the dish, slashing .265/.296/.436 with 19 homers, 62 RBI and two stolen bases in 468 plate appearances.

Meidroth takes a seat after suffering a sprained right ankle during Monday’s series opener against the Twins. The 24-year-old rookie infielder will likely need a couple additional days off to recover, but figures to avoid a trip to the injured list. It’ll be Lenyn Sosa taking over at the keystone in his absence.

Sosa’s homer off Tim Hill broke a 2-2 tie in the bottom of the eighth. He leads the White Sox with his 18 homers, but he needs to withstand a charge from Colson Montgomery, who hit his 15th in 46 games today. Sosa also leads the team with 61 RBI, and that placement seems safe with both Luis Robert Jr. and Miguel Vargas on the IL.

Montgomery, who has been playing through some lingering discomfort since last week, has gone deep in four consecutive contests and is up to 14 round-trippers through 43 games in his rookie campaign. He’ll grab a seat on the bench for Wednesday evening’s matchup with Chase Meidroth at shortstop and Lenyn Sosa at second base to face Kansas City right-hander Ryan Bergert. He’s still striking out too much, and doesn’t offer any stolen base upside, but he’s been a strong power source for fantasy managers in deeper mixed leagues. He’s presumably day-to-day heading into Thursday’s series opener against the Yankees since precautionary imaging didn’t reveal any structural damage.
