With Peyton Pallette returned to the White Sox, it's like the Rule 5 draft never happened ... except for Pallette having Statcast data against MLB teams, I suppose.

Good morning, White Sox fans. NEW @soxmachine.com Podcast presented by Ankin Law What a month of May for the Chicago White Sox! At 32-27, is it time for us to change our expectations for this season? Plus pitching coach Zach Bove yaps about the staff. soxmachine.com/2026/06/podc...

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...

It's not Mother's Day, but it looked a lot like it at Rate Field, as the White Sox won a Sunday afternoon game by a 2-1 score when they came to life after the opposing manager removed a successful starter while he was cruising.

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...

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:

I look forward to the day when the first month of a Sox Machine subscription costs 80 cents.

2,760 hits until 3,000.

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...

It'll take a village for the White Sox to replace Munetaka Murakami. Today, Edgar Quero was that villager.

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...

Did we just watch a Very 2026 White Sox Win, or more of a Very 2026 Tigers Loss? Miguel Vargas decided the score with his walk-off homer in the 10th, but not that question.

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...

Using the end of the work week to get around sharing a bunch of stories that grabbed my attention. soxmachine.com/2026/05/spar...

Good morning, White Sox fans. NEW @soxmachine.com Podcast(s) presented by Ankin Law 1) White Sox roll Twins as Davis Martin, David Sandlin, and Munetaka Murakami come up big 2) NCAA Postseason baseball starts today. A preview with @mikeferrin.bsky.social soxmachine.com/2026/05/podc...

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 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.

Opened the White Sox Minor Keys with pictures instead of words, because you wouldn't want 13,000 of those about Birmingham's 23-4 loss at Rickwood Field.

Tonight's game recap on @SoxMachine.com: This is what you call a Wednesday Night Smackdown. Story: 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...

Rickwood is goodwood.

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.

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...

Big man. Throw hard. Here soon. soxmachine.com/2026/05/whit...

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...

The White Sox simply refuse to fall below .500.

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...

Rikuu Nishida is your favorite White Sox prospect's favorite White Sox prospect, and now he's actually on the White Sox, against considerable odds.

Grant Taylor's first MLB homer allowed was a game-breaking grand slam. It didn't help that his arsenal was missing multiple ticks.

While the White Sox were tormented by the sun yesterday, the Kannapolis Cannon Ballers lost fly balls in dense fog. That and Saturday's other action in the Minor Keys.

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.

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.

If it seems like White Sox catchers have had difficulties catching ... you'd be right.

It's been a long time since the White Sox have maintained a winning record, and it's been a long time since we've answered questions about a White Sox team that has maintained a winning record. Big #POSox mailbag right here.

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.

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...
