New @soxmachine.com Video Short presented by Ankin Law Colson Montgomery speaks postgame after his big home run started the comeback against Detroit. youtube.com/shorts/0m5gJ...

The White Sox postgame clubhouse may not have been able to figure out why Keider Montero was pulled, but they are pretty certain about what they're capable of: "Everyone's mindset is that we are a playoff-caliber team." soxmachine.com/2026/05/whit...

Some pregame notes days, I really don't have much. But today...today *epitomizes* a collection of notes-level pregame White Sox information soxmachine.com/2026/05/preg...

Peyton Pallette has been assigned to Triple-A Charlotte after being returned to the White Sox from the Cleveland Guardians

I'm pleased to regret to inform you that because the White Sox have now won 53 percent of their games, the first month of a Sox Machine subscription now costs 53 cents. Such are the rules of the Winning Record Sale.

"The team is playing pretty good baseball, playing hard every day and that's the mentality right now. That's the new White Sox. 2026 White Sox, the mentality is win every day and make the playoffs." soxmachine.com/2026/05/even...

You might think this is shitty camera work by me but you’re wrong: Gonzalez is actually 11 feet tall

New @SoxMachine.com Video Short presented by Ankin Law Jacob Gonzalez makes his MLB debut today. He shared what his experience was like getting called up. youtube.com/shorts/YuQ90...

There's never a right time for an injury to Munetaka Murakami, but it catches the White Sox at a moment where their self-confidence has them believing they can readily absorb it. From @jrfegan.soxmachine.com:

Jacob Gonzalez turned 24 today, and spent it watching in the dugout as his new team won their fourth-straight. Not a bad birthday. "Probably the best one so far, rather than the first one." soxmachine.com/2026/05/whit...

The White Sox have the chance to seal up another series win against an AL Central foe today, which is what everyone seems to be talking about right now soxmachine.com/2026/05/preg...

Will Venable said Munetaka Murakami has a Grade 2 hamstring strain, which is expected to sideline him for 4-6 weeks. Jacob Gonzalez will start at 1B against right handed pitching

The White Sox are replacing the American League leader in home runs (Munetaka Murakami) with the minor league leader in home runs (Jacob Gonzalez, of all people).

New @soxmachine.com Video Short presented by Ankin Law Miguel Vargas speaks postgame after hitting a walk-off homer against Detroit. youtube.com/shorts/k2oQb...

Munetaka Murakami is probably looking at a couple of weeks on the IL, Jacob Gonzalez would be the corresponding move, but Miguel Vargas still took center stage Friday night "Since Mune wasn’t in the game, I have to step up and take that power hitting" soxmachine.com/2026/05/whit...

Will Venable said nothing official on Munetaka Murakami, but that his hamstring could keep him out for "probably a couple of weeks"

Munetaka Murakami left the game with right hamstring tightness. The White Sox say he's still being evaluated. Will Venable said on the broadcast "the hamstring grabbed on him a little bit"

Suddenly finding myself believing in Brandon Eisert to an irrational degree

Will Venable was peppered with questions about injuries to Jordan Leasure, Kyle Teel, Austin Hays and Everson Pereira and now you can read the results of said peppering soxmachine.com/2026/05/preg...

White Sox placed Jordan Leasure on the IL with a flexor strain. Tyler Gilbert was recalled.

I was working on a story about White Sox prospect Gabe Davis and was like “wait why hasn’t he pitched in like nine days!” And they were like “we’re giving him extra rest before we promote him to Double-A” And I thought “oh I should put that in the story” soxmachine.com/2026/05/whit...

The White Sox have a run differential of zero now. As it turns out, that's good enough for fifth in the AL, which explains why they currently sit in the second Wild Card spot. soxmachine.com/2026/05/whit...

The way Davis Martin is pitching, 6+ runs of support is excessive, but it makes for comfortable White Sox winners.

One of the questions about David Sandlin was how well he could pitch from the stretch. In his MLB debut he responded by ... never pitching from the stretch.

The White Sox played very normally and @josh.soxmachine.com wrote about a fairly typical game soxmachine.com/2026/05/whit...

Sean Newcomb is pitching really well out of the White Sox bullpen. He’s also pitching a ton out of the White Sox bullpen. That’s mostly the thesis of this piece. soxmachine.com/2026/05/sean...

Some sites have news. Some sites have notes. But how many dare to combine news AND notes? The White Sox Minor Keys truly innovate in this space.

Come for the recap of a dispiriting extra inning loss, stay to argue in the comments with strangers about bunting. Or vice versa, it's whatever man. soxmachine.com/2026/05/twin...

Publishing the gamethread early because there’s so much juice for this showdown between the two teams in the final AL Wild Card spots (It’s an explainer of Noah Schultz going to the IL as David Sandlin slides into the rotation) soxmachine.com/2026/05/preg...

I'm in Birmingham, where people are just as thrilled about Rikuu Nishida's debut as the coaches @jrfegan.soxmachine.com talked to for his story today.

From White Sox: SS Billy Carlson suffered a non-displaced fracture of the tip of his left thumb while scoring during a game on May 23. His thumb will be placed in a splint with an expectation of 4-6 weeks to heal.

David Sandlin debuts tomorrow, taking the place of Noah Schultz as he hits the IL with a recurrence of right knee patellar tendinitis

Despite his statistical accomplishments in the minors, Rikuu Nishida was often left off White Sox prospect lists Luckily, his draft scout and JUCO coaches were in attendance at his debut yesterday, and talked about what they always saw. soxmachine.com/2026/05/long...

Can confirm the White Sox are calling up prospect David Sandlin, likely to start

You probably had a better view of Rikuu Nishida's outfield assist than he did. "Right after I threw, my shoe came off," Nishida said. "The left shoe. I was trying to find my shoe. So when I looked up, he was already out." soxmachine.com/2026/05/whit...

Weird situation with the White Sox where we now talk to the Japanese interpreter more than the Spanish-language one soxmachine.com/2026/05/preg...

The White Sox needed to play spotless defense with the way Erick Fedde was getting smoked. They lost three pop-ups in the sun instead.

Is the White Sox bullpen a sneakerhead convention? Because a swap of Jordans just took place.

Swapping Jordans

The White Sox were no-hit in eight of nine innings tonight, but they were hit three times in the fourth, and those helped a great deal.

David Sandlin also had his most effective start in the (White) Sox org to date, which makes it handy that @jrfegan.soxmachine.com had a post about his conversation with Sandlin ready to go.

The White Sox are off today, so let's look at the farm system. The Minor Keys open with the Winston-Salem Dash batting around during the third inning on Wednesday ... after two outs.

I spoke to White Sox prospect David Sandlin just before his best start of the year to date. Get ready to speak counter-rotational movement, buddy soxmachine.com/2026/05/whit...

The White Sox have made seven deals with the Rays over the last 13 months, and you know what? They're OK at it.

Today's White Sox Minor Keys covers the White Sox's minor Tuesday trade with Tampa Bay, while @jrfegan.soxmachine.com added a few updates on the team's Tommy John surgery rehabbers.

The Mariners are probably getting tired of handcuffing the White Sox for most of the game, only to see the Sox manufacture a rally with their last at-bats to win 2-1, because this is the second time it's happened in nine days. soxmachine.com/2026/05/whit...

The White Sox love trading with the Rays so much they did it in the middle of the game.

Rein in Sam Antonacci? The White Sox would sooner clone him. "The game is going to tell you what you have to refine. Do your thing, be a little psychopath.” soxmachine.com/2026/05/sam-...

We have an "antonacci sequence" tag in the system for games like this one.
