Top Nick Maton News

  • White Sox's Nick Maton: Resting against lefty

    Maton is out of the lineup for Saturday's game against the Red Sox.

    The lefty-hitting Maton will stay put in Chicago's dugout with left-hander Garrett Crochet set to start on the bump for Boston. Maton's absence will create an opening for Jacob Amaya to join the starting nine as the White Sox's shortstop.

  • White Sox's Nick Maton: Sitting against southpaw

    Maton is out of the lineup for Thursday's game against the Athletics.

    The left-handed-hitting Maton will retreat to the bench while the Athletics send southpaw JP Sears to the hill for the series finale. Though Maton has logged 42 of his 43 plate appearances against opposite-handed pitching, he's batting just .139 with a pair of home runs and a 27.9 percent strikeout rate. The White Sox have been using Maton as their primary option at designated hitter versus righties this season, but his lack of production thus far could inspire manager Will Venable to use a rotation of players at the DH spot.

  • White Sox's Nick Maton: Idle against lefty

    Maton is out of the lineup for Sunday's game against the Red Sox.

    He will retreat to the bench as the Red Sox send southpaw Garrett Crochet to the bump. With Maton out of the lineup, Miguel Vargas will get a day out of the infield and serve as Chicago's designated hitter.

  • White Sox's Nick Maton: Sitting against southpaw

    Maton is out of the lineup for Wednesday's game against the Guardians.

    With southpaw Logan Allen toeing the rubber for Cleveland, the left-handed-hitting Maton will retreat to the bench. Austin Slater will fill the designated-hitter spot in Maton's stead.

  • White Sox's Nick Maton: On bench Sunday

    Maton is out of the lineup for Sunday's game against the Tigers.

    Maton will take a seat Sunday after he had started each of the last four games at either designated hitter or first base. He owns an .818 OPS over 22 plate appearances so far this season and should have a regular spot in the lineup versus right-handed pitching so long as he continues to swing a hot bat.

  • White Sox's Nick Maton: Goes yard again

    Maton went 1-for-3 with a solo home run and a walk in Tuesday's loss to the Twins.

    Maton pushed the Sox ahead 3-0 in the fifth with a solo blast to left field. The early power is promising, though his only two hits in 11 plate appearances are solo home runs, both coming out of the leadoff spot.

  • White Sox's Nick Maton: Sitting against righty

    Maton is out of the lineup for Monday's game against the Twins.

    While serving as Chicago's designated hitter in final two games of the team's season-opening series versus the Angels, Maton went 1-for-6 with a solo home run. Though he'll head to the bench Monday while the Twins send a right-hander (Chris Paddack) to the mound, the lefty-hitting Maton could end up playing against righties more often than not if he's able to build on his outstanding spring training. Despite attending camp as a non-roster invitee, Maton earned his way onto the White Sox's Opening Day squad by turning in a .989 OPS over 19 Cactus League games.

  • White Sox's Nick Maton: Pops leadoff homer

    Maton went 1-for-3 with a solo home run Sunday against the Angels.

    Maton started for the second consecutive game at designated hitter, as Andrew Benintendi shifted back to his traditional position in left field. Maton also took over the leadoff spot Sunday and began the home half of the first inning with his first homer of the season. He's a .204 hitter across 518 career plate appearances in the majors, though he has an 11.4 percent walk rate and .150 ISO, which could combine to give him some appeal in very deep formats that reward on-base percentage.

  • White Sox's Nick Maton: Getting another start versus righty

    Maton will start at designated hitter and bat leadoff in Sunday's game against the Angels.

    Maton will serve as the White Sox's DH for the second day in a row, with both of those starts coming against right-handed pitching. At least until the White Sox get Josh Rojas (toe) or Mike Tauchman (hamstring) back from the injured list, Maton is getting a look as a strong-side platoon player.

  • White Sox's Nick Maton: Added to roster

    The White Sox selected Maton's contract Thursday.

    The 28-year-old made the Opening Day roster as a utility player, though it wouldn't be surprising if he ends up getting a look as a near-everyday player early on in the season in the wake of his huge spring. Over his 43 plate appearances in the Cactus League, Maton slashed .289/.357/.632 with four home runs. Second base or shortstop would likely represent the clearest path for Maton to see playing time.

  • White Sox's Nick Maton: Nabs roster spot

    The White Sox informed Maton on Wednesday that he'll be included on the Opening Day roster, Scott Merkin of MLB.com reports.

    Maton had a great spring to secure a roster spot, putting up a 1.045 OPS while popping four home runs. He'll be capable of playing multiple spots in the infield and outfield for the White Sox, though Maton's clearest path to playing time will come at second base and shortstop.

  • White Sox's Nick Maton: Latches on with ChiSox as NRI

    The White Sox signed Maton to a minor-league contract Tuesday that includes and invitation to spring training, Aram Leighton of Just Baseball reports.

    Maton, who turns 28 in February, got a cup of coffee with the Orioles in 2024 but spent the majority of the year at Triple-A Norfolk, where he put up an .834 OPS with 16 homers. He can play everywhere other than catcher and will compete for a utility role with the White Sox.

  • Nick Maton: Becomes free agent

    Maton filed for free agency Saturday, Rich Dubroff of BaltimoreBaseball.com reports.

    Maton spent most of the 2024 campaign at the Triple-A level, posting a .258/.363/.471 slash line with 16 home runs, 56 RBI, 44 runs and one stolen base over 344 plate appearances. He got into five major-league games with the Orioles and went 0-for-5 with a pair of strikeouts. Maton doesn't offer much in the way of power or speed, but he provides versatility, as he can play multiple positions in both the infield and outfield.

  • Orioles' Nick Maton: Sent outright to Triple-A

    The Orioles outrighted Maton to Triple-A Norfolk on Tuesday.

    For the third time this season, Maton has accepted an outright assignment from the Orioles after being scrubbed from the 40-man roster. He'll stick around with the organization as a utility infielder.

  • Orioles' Nick Maton: Loses roster spot

    The Orioles designated Maton for assignment Sunday.

    He'll give up his spot on the roster to outfielder/designated hitter Heston Kjerstad (concussion), who was reinstated from the 10-day injured list in a corresponding move. After being called up from Triple-A Norfolk on Sept. 2, Maton saw action in five games for the Orioles and went 0-for-5 with two strikeouts.

  • Orioles' Nick Maton: Added to roster

    The Orioles selected Maton's contract from Triple-A Norfolk on Monday.

    Maton will provide some additional infield depth with Ramon Urias (ankle) landing on the 10-day injured list. David Banuelos was designated for assignment in a corresponding move.

  • Orioles' Nick Maton: Outrighted to Triple-A

    The Orioles outrighted Maton to Triple-A Norfolk on Friday.

    It's the second time since March that Maton has been sent outright to Norfolk after clearing waivers. He has again accepted the outright assignment and will remain in the organization as utility depth.

  • Orioles' Nick Maton: Dropped from 40-man roster

    The Orioles designated Maton for assignment Monday.

    Maton will be pushed off roster as the Orioles make room for outfielder/first baseman Heston Kjerstad, who was recalled from Triple-A Norfolk in a corresponding move. During his five-day stay with the Orioles, Maton saw action in just one game and didn't receive any plate appearances.

  • Orioles' Nick Maton: Moves up to big club

    The Orioles selected Maton's contract from Triple-A Norfolk on Wednesday.

    Outfielder Kyle Stowers was optioned to Triple-A to make room on the 26-man active roster for Maton, who will give the Orioles some extra coverage in the infield while Jordan Westburg is day-to-day with a bruised hip. Even if Westburg doesn't heal as quickly as expected and eventually moves to the injured list, Ramon Urias would likely be in line ahead of Maton for a regular role in the infield. Maton had produced a .294/.387/.483 slash line and seven home runs over 168 plate appearances with Norfolk.
