The White Sox open a homestand against a demoralized Minnesota Twins team that traded away many players and has gone 2-8 in its last 10 games. The White Sox remain near the bottom of the AL, about 8 1/2 games better than the Rockies but tied for 13th-worst with the Twins and A’s, and are on pace for roughly 105 losses. Seven remaining games versus the weakened Twins offer the easiest opportunity to reduce the loss total. Roster changes include the end of the Josh Rojas experiment and the return of Korey Lee, with Kyle Teel and Edgar Quero expected to start regularly.
The White Sox start a homestand in one of the best possible ways to start a homestand: Taking on another patsy, and better, one that is even more recently demoralized. The Twins gave up on the 2025 season in dramatic and embarrassing fashion (no, not a White Flag debacle but a series of offloads that left half of the roster open to begin August), and over the last 10 games are actually a game worse (2-8) than the woeful White Sox (3-7).
After all, the White Sox are just 8 1/2 games better than the Colorado Rockies and are 13 worse than anyone else in the AL (yeah, that means the Twins and A's, tied for 13th-worst in the AL). In fact, the White Sox are on pace right now to lose 105 games, one off of the second-worst mark in franchise history. Sit down a sec: This White Sox team will plausibly lose 100 for the third straight season (and no, the club had never even lost back-to-back 100s until 2024)
In White Sox roster news, the tired Josh Rojas experiment, which somehow lasted into later August and proved that the best way to tell whether your warmed-over career is REALLY over is to come to the White Sox and fail, is over. Korey Lee, victim of circumstance and the weird rule that seems to say three catchers on a roster when you want your two rookie studs in the lineup every day is a bad thing, is back.
