White Sox promote SS Colson Montgomery to make MLB debut
July 4 - The Chicago White Sox promoted prized shortstop prospect Colson Montgomery from Triple-A Charlotte on Friday to start against the Colorado Rockies. Montgomery will be making his major league debut. He will bat seventh and play shortstop against the Rockies. The 23-year-old received the news of his promotion from Charlotte manager Sergio Santos on Thursday night. Santos was giving details about a trip that included an overnight bus ride to Jacksonville for a game on Friday. Then he dropped the surprise on Montgomery. "Unfortunately, you won't be playing shortstop for us tomorrow," said Santos, with a well-timed pause during a video. "You'll be playing shortstop for the Chicago White Sox." Montgomery was then overwhelmed with emotions. Montgomery was a first-round pick of the White Sox in 2021 (22nd overall). He is rated the White Sox's No. 5 prospect, according to MLB Pipeline. He has 11 homers and 30 RBIs in 55 games for Charlotte this season but batted just .218 and struck out 82 times. Chicago designated third baseman Vinny Capra for assignment to open up a 40-man roster spot for Montgomery. Capra, 28, hit .190 with two RBIs in 23 games with the White Sox after being claimed off waivers on May 15. He was with Milwaukee earlier this season and batted .074 with one homer and four RBIs in 24 games with the Brewers. The White Sox also activated left-hander Fraser Ellard (lat) from the 60-day injured list and optioned him to Charlotte. Ellard, 27, had a 6.75 ERA in seven appearances for Chicago earlier this season. --Field Level Media

White Sox reinstate Lenyn Sosa from IL, option Brooks Baldwin
June 17 - The Chicago White Sox welcomed back infielder Lenyn Sosa on Tuesday after he missed two weeks on the injured list with a right hip flexor strain. The White Sox optioned utility player Brooks Baldwin to Triple-A Charlotte in a corresponding move. Sosa, 25, was primarily Chicago's starting second baseman before going on the IL June 4. On Tuesday against the visiting St. Louis Cardinals, however, Sosa will man first base while batting seventh in the order. Sosa was batting .274 with four home runs and 17 RBIs in 57 games to begin the season. On a three-game rehab stint at Charlotte, he went 1-for-10 with a double and four strikeouts. Baldwin, 24, was in his second major league season and made starts at second base, third base, shortstop and all three outfield spots this year through just 47 games. He batted .211 with three homers and 16 RBIs. The White Sox also announced that left-handed reliever Fraser Ellard -- on the IL since May 4 but transferred to the 60-day list June 8 with a left lat strain -- would begin an injury rehab assignment at Charlotte. --Field Level Media
