White Sox's Shane Smith: Takes loss in quality start
Rotowire
Smith (0-1) yielded two runs on five hits and two walks over six innings Sunday, striking out three and taking a loss against Boston.
Smith did not allow a runner to reach scoring position through five scoreless frames before Trevor Story knocked a two-run double in the sixth inning. Smith was efficient, throwing 50 of 79 pitches for strikes, including 10 swinging strikes. The 25-year-old rookie is still searching for his first win despite some positive results early on. Smith owns a 2.04 ERA alongside a 12:7 K:BB through 17.2 innings. He's lined up for a rematch in Boston next weekend.
White Sox's Michael Taylor: Getting regular run in outfield
Rotowire
Taylor will start in left field and bat fifth in Sunday's game against the Red Sox.
The 34-year-old will pick up a fifth straight start Sunday and looks like he'll be in line for a near-everyday role in the outfield while both Andrew Benintendi (adductor) and Mike Tauchman (hamstring) are on the shelf. Taylor heads into the series finale with a .222/.276/.370 slash line, one home run and two stolen bases over 29 plate appearances.

White Sox's Nick Maton: Idle against lefty
Rotowire
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.
Perez did not factor into the decision in Saturday's 3-2 win over the Red Sox, allowing two runs on five hits and four walks with five strikeouts over 4.2 innings.
Perez racked up an impressive 13 swinging strikes on 91 pitches, but he also found the strike zone on just 50 offerings and issued a season-high four walks. Despite Saturday's control issues, the 34-year-old owns a 1.59 ERA, 1.06 WHIP and 18:9 K:BB across 17 innings this season. He's slated for a rematch with the Red Sox next weekend, this time in Boston.

White Sox's Luis Robert: Homers, steals bag in win
Rotowire
Robert went 1-for-3 with a two-run home run, a walk, a stolen base and an additional run scored in Saturday's 3-2 win over the Red Sox.
Robert tied the game in the sixth inning with his first homer of the season and then swiped a base and scored the game-winning run in the ninth. Despite Saturday's heroics, the 27-year-old is slashing just .178/.269/.267 with one home run, four RBI and seven runs scored across 54 plate appearances this season. On the bright side, he is currently tied for the AL lead in steals with six.
Baldwin isn't in the lineup for Saturday's game against Boston.
Baldwin will get a chance to rest Saturday after going 2-for-5 with an RBI, a run scored and a stolen base in Friday's series opener. Joshua Palacios will fill the resulting vacancy in right field and bat fifth.

White Sox's Matt Thaiss: Sitting Saturday
Rotowire
Thaiss isn't in the lineup for Saturday's game versus Boston.
Thaiss will step aside Saturday to allow Omar Narvaez to get a second consecutive start behind the dish following Narvaez's three-RBI performance Friday. Thaiss owns a .737 OPS through 10 games this season and still figures to be Chicago's primary backstop.

White Sox's Greg Jones: Back in Chicago
Rotowire
The White Sox recalled Jones from Triple-A Charlotte on Saturday.
Jones was sent down to the minors Friday in order to make room for Chase Meidroth, but he'll now return to the White Sox to make up for the loss of Austin Slater (knee). Jones has slashed .129/.270/.258 with five RBI and four stolen bases across nine Triple-A games this season.

White Sox's Austin Slater: Suffers torn meniscus
Rotowire
The White Sox placed Slater on the 10-day injured list Saturday with a torn meniscus in his right knee.
It was unclear why Slater was scratched from the lineup ahead of Friday's game, but those questions have now been answered. The White Sox haven't established a return timeline for the 32-year-old just yet, but he'll likely be sidelined for a few months. Greg Jones was recalled from Triple-A Charlotte in a corresponding move.

White Sox's Jacob Amaya: Tallies first extra-base hit
Rotowire
Amaya went 1-for-4 with a double and two RBI against the Red Sox on Friday.
Amaya has started six straight games at shortstop and 11 of 13 games overall. He's struggled mightily, collecting only four hits across 33 at-bats, though he managed his first extra-base hit of the season Friday to account for his two RBI. The addition of Chase Meidroth could threaten Amaya's playing time, though the White Sox have a number of moving pieces, so the situation will be worth monitoring.

White Sox's Omar Narvaez: Makes good impression in debut
Rotowire
Narvaez went 1-for-3 with three RBI in Friday's 11-1 win over the Red Sox.
Narvaez was recalled to the big-league club Thursday with Korey Lee (ankle) sidelined. He made his debut with the White Sox on Friday and delivered a two-RBI single in the seventh inning to record his first hit. Matt Thaiss should be Chicago's primary catcher for the time being, but Narvaez will mix in for occasional starts behind the dish.

White Sox's Chase Meidroth: Reaches base four times in debut
Rotowire
Meidroth went 1-for-1 with three walks and a run scored Friday against the Red Sox.
The White Sox selected Meidroth's contract before Friday's game, and he slotted in seventh in the order while playing second base. He enjoyed a strong debut, which was indicative of his high-contact and patient approach at the plate. He offers limited power but could contribute double-digit steals with regular playing time.
Baldwin went 2-for-5 with one RBI, a stolen base and one run scored in Friday's 11-1 win over the Red Sox.
Baldwin had gone 0-for-11 over his previous four games before logging his first multi-hit effort of the season. The steal was also his first of the season, while the RBI he earned on an eighth-inning single was the first run he's knocked in since April 4. The utility player is batting .237 (9-for-38) with a home run, six RBI and two runs scored over 12 contests. He's carving out a decent share of playing time despite not focusing on a single position, but playing for the White Sox will likely prevent him from racking up significant counting stats.

White Sox's Luis Robert: Swipes two bags Friday
Rotowire
Robert went 1-for-3 with one RBI, two stolen bases and two runs scored in Friday's 11-1 win over the Red Sox.
Robert also reached base twice due to catcher interference. The outfielder hasn't had much going with the bat so far, but he's taken advantage of his chances on base lately, logging four steals on six attempts over his last four games. He's batting .167 (7-for-42) with five steals, two RBI and five runs scored over 12 contests, but he's yet to hit a home run this season. Robert slashed .224/.278/.379 over 100 games in 2024, the worst of his first five years in the majors, but the biggest challenge for the 27-year-old will be staying healthy. Despite the injury risks, he's played in center field most of the times he's been in the lineup to begin 2025.

White Sox's Michael Taylor: Strong effort at plate
Rotowire
Taylor went 3-for-5 with a double, a stolen base and three runs scored in Friday's 11-1 win over the Red Sox.
Taylor's playing time could be in line for a boost after Mike Tauchman (hamstring) landed on the injured list Thursday. Taylor started in center field Thursday and moved to left for Friday's game with Luis Robert coming back into the lineup after a day off. Taylor's glove is good enough to keep him in the lineup, and he'll add a bit of speed when he plays as well. He's already got two steals over 10 contests this season while batting .250 (6-for-24) with a home run, two RBI and six runs scored across 26 plate appearances.
