White Sox Minor League Update: August 19, 2026
Charlotte Knights 7, Scranton/Wilkes-Barre RailRiders 2Knights put up a two-spot in the first, as back-to-back leadoff walks to Rikuu Nishida and Dru Baker, a single by Ryan Galanie and a ground out by Junior Perez got the job done. The RailRiders tied it up though in the bottom of the second, plating two off the […]
Urquidy deals, White Sox finally get last laugh at Wrigley, 3-0
Third time’s the charm, or so they say. After two nights of late-inning faceplants at Wrigley, the White Sox finally got the last laugh, blanking the Cubs, 3-0, and sneaking out of the North Side with a win. And José Urquidy was exactly the hero an exhausted pitching staff needed. Urquidy carved up the Cubs […]
Game Thread: White Sox (65-60) at Cubs (74-53)
After two straight gut-punch walk-off losses at Wrigley Field, the White Sox will try to salvage the finale of the Crosstown series this afternoon before heading back to the South Side. Despite the back-to-back heartbreakers, the Sox still hold a four-game lead over the Twins in the AL Central, but there isn’t much time to […]
Crosstown crash out: White Sox walked off again, 4-3
There’s something about the Chicago Cubs (73-53) and rain delays, isn’t there? After waiting out the weather for nearly an hour-and-a-half, the White Sox (65-59) folded against their North Side rivals, getting walked off on back-to-back nights, 4-3. Up until tonight, Bryan Hudson had just a 1.29 ERA across six opener starts and had allowed […]
White Sox Minor League Update: August 17-18, 2026
Charlotte Knights 9, Scranton/Wilkes-Barre RailRiders 8 (10 innings)The Knights (65-56) struck first in the second inning. Edgar Quero led off with a double, and Caden Connor drove him in for a quick 1-0 edge. Shane Smith, still lost, flooded the basepaths with traffic in the bottom half and let the RailRiders swipe the lead right […]
Game Thread: White Sox (65-59) at Cubs (73-53)
The White Sox are looking to rebound on the North Side after a heartbreaking, walk-off loss to the Cubs in extra innings Monday. With a chance to even the series tonight, they are turning to a (fairly) exhausted bullpen to handle Tuesday’s game, with lefthander Bryan Hudson getting the ball first for the seventh time […]
Today in White Sox History: August 18
1910 Red Faber, pitching for the Class-B Dubuque Dubs in the Three-I (Iowa, Illinois, Indiana) League, threw a 3-0 perfect game against the Davenport Prodigals. Faber, 21, would make his MLB debut in 1914 for the White Sox, beginning a Hall of Fame career. The Cascade, Iowa native never threw a no-hitter, much less a […]
Cubs walk off White Sox in frustrating 7-5 extra-inning loss
The Crosstown Classic started with a soul-crushing extra-inning heartbreak for the White Sox with a Cubs walk-off. Despite the game staying close and competitive, poor challenges and sloppy defense doomed the South Siders. The Sox fell 7-5 in the opener. The game got off to an ugly start after the White Sox went down in […]
Game Thread: White Sox (65-58) at Cubs (72-53)
It’s time for both my favorite and least favorite series of the year — the Crosstown Classic! The White Sox will head a few miles north to face the Cubs at Wrigley Field. With both teams doing well this season and the White Sox winning the first-half series, the rivalry feels more competitive this time […]

Today in White Sox History: August 17
1962 The final piece of the Billy Pierce–Eddie Fisher trade (involving six total players) was named, as San Francisco sent pitcher Verle Tiefenthaler to the White Sox. Tiefenthaler would pitch in just three games for the White Sox, making his major league debut on August 19 and getting rocked for two earned in two-thirds of […]
White Sox Minor League Update: August 16, 2026
Rochester Red Wings 7, Charlotte Knights 5The Knights (64-56) came out swinging when Rikuu Nishida coaxed a walk, then Junior Perez and Edgar Quero ripped back-to-back doubles for a quick 2-0 cushion. Riley Unroe chipped in with a solo blast in the second, and suddenly it was 3-0, Charlotte. But, as is tradition, the Knights […]
White Sox complete sweep of Detroit, 7-5
The lopsided pitching matchup didn’t materialize, but it turned out not to matter, as big bats beat big arms. As he crossed into more innings than he had pitched all of last season (134) Sean Burke had his worst start since June 13, giving up four earned runs on five hits and three walks in […]
Tommy John: 1943-2026
News broke early on Sunday that baseball legend Tommy John had passed away.

Game Thread: White Sox (64-58) at Tigers (60-63)
The White Sox have a chance today to not just sweep a road series, but in the process give Tigers players confidence that they can schedule a vacation in early October without fear of a schedule conflict. And the pitching matchup is strongly in favor of dropping a Detroit team that traded away Tarik Skubal […]
Today in White Sox History: August 16
1926After being a winning team all season, the White Sox had fallen to 57-58 two days earlier, and sure seemed skittish about getting back to even: For the second straight game, the South Siders and Detroit played to a scoreless tie. Odder still, the first game was at Comiskey Park, the second in Detroit! There […]
White Sox Minor League Update: August 15, 2026
With the affiliate seasons beginning to run short, let’s check in with where each club stands. Believe it or not, we do have one minor league team in position to qualify for the postseason, though not in any sort of dominant fashion. Rochester Red Wings 5, Charlotte Knights 2David Sandlin made an extremely strong play […]
White Sox take another key series in 4-3 win over Detroit
Despite struggling to find any manner of consistency since the All-Star break, the White Sox are winning the games that matter. Today’s slim, 4-3 win over the Tigers makes for their 64th on the season, and the fourth straight series won or split against an AL Central opponent. Chicago’s destiny is in its own hands […]
Game Thread: White Sox (63-58) at Tigers (60-62)
This is a story about how the Detroit Tigers, after concretely selling at the deadline by trading their top available pitcher as well as several other pieces, go on a massive, improbable heater to grab the division title on the last day of the season. Take a deep breath: That’s the story of the 2024 […]
Today in White Sox History: August 15
1919 The ill-fated Chicago Nine had a solid, four-game lead in the delayed-start season, boasting a 62-39 record. And a 6-5 walk-off win in 11 innings vs. the Red Sox kicked off a 10-game winning streak to pad that pennant lead. Shano Collins was ploinked by a pitch to lead off the inning, and Swede […]
White Sox Minor League Update: August 14, 2026
Rochester Red Wings 5, Charlotte Knights 2 In his first start since being demoted from the parent club, Noah Schultz rolled out four strong innings, sacrificing a solo home run in the first for three scoreless innings. Although hanging a cutter down the middle is far from desirable for Sox fans hoping Schultz can prove […]
Big fifth inning propels White Sox to big division win
For a team like the Chicago White Sox looking to wrap up their division over the remaining weeks, winning the few series left against divisional opponents is crucial. Last week, the White Sox took care of the Cleveland Guardians and this week, they have a big test on the road against the Detroit Tigers. With […]
Game Thread: White Sox (62-58) at Tigers (60-61)
The Detroit Tigers were still very much in the thick of the AL Central race when they traded away ace and notable bad guy Tarik Skubal. Was he the problem with Detroit? Since his departure the Tigers have been on a tear, while the Los Angeles Dodgers have put up stinker after stinker. What looked […]
