The Chicago White Sox are facing injury challenges as Opening Day approaches, particularly with Josh Rojas suffering a hairline fracture in his toe. Manager Will Venable indicated that Rojas’s recovery would be monitored day by day, raising concerns about his readiness for the start of the 2025 season. Meanwhile, this injury may lead to increased opportunities for Chase Meidroth, whose route to the roster was already clearing following Colson Montgomery’s demotion to Triple-A. Despite having a lackluster spring batting average, Meidroth's prospect of making the team is bolstered by the injury slide.
Rojas has a hairline fracture in his big toe. They're taking it day by day for now.
Meidroth's path onto the big league roster started to open when the Sox optioned Colson Montgomery to Triple-A.
Meidroth could be playing at shortstop on Opening Day and has a chance to defy the odds as a non-roster invite.
With the Sox injuries and the organization's focus on young talent, Meidroth may soon be selected for the big club.
