The White Sox farm system had a busy Tuesday, and the loudest bat in the group belonged to George Wolkow. The High-A outfielder launched two home runs in Winston-Salem’s 7-4 win over Greenville, giving him five homers over his last five games and pushing him past 20 for the first time in his career.
Wolkow wasn’t the only White Sox prospect making noise at the plate. In Triple-A, Junior Perez went 3-for-5 with a homer, while Mario Camilletti chipped in a double and three RBI in Charlotte’s win. Down in the Dominican Summer League, Fernando Graterol reached base three times, finishing 2-for-3 with a triple and a walk.
Winston-Salem got the kind of night that can carry a club: a strong start, timely power, and enough bullpen work to finish the job. Grant Umberger was the anchor, working six scoreless innings while allowing three hits and three walks with three strikeouts.
Jake Curtis handled the ninth for the save. Wolkow’s two-homer night drove the offense, and Ely Brown added a 2-for-5 line with an RBI.
Kyle Lodise scored twice, walked once, and stole a base, while Javier Mogollon swiped two bags despite going 0-for-4.
Charlotte’s offense was even deeper. Edgar Quero went 2-for-3 with a double and a run scored, Ryan Galanie scored twice and drove in a run, and Andy Weber and Caden Connor each added RBI hits. Rikuu Nishida reached base twice on walks, and Mario Camilletti’s big night helped the Knights put up enough runs to support a bullpen effort that included Jaden Woods earning the win and Garrett Schoenle finishing it off for the save.
The pitching picture was mixed at the upper levels. Shane Smith lasted only two innings for Charlotte, allowing two earned runs with three walks and three strikeouts.
In Birmingham, Lucas Gordon went 2.2 innings, and the Barons needed Jonathan Clark, Jake Palisch, Jackson Kelley, and Morris Austin to get through the rest of the game. Dylan Campbell was the brightest offensive spark there, going 3-for-5 with a double, homer, two runs, an RBI, and a stolen base.
Samuel Zavala also homered, and Anthony DePino turned in a 3-for-4 day with an RBI.
Kannapolis got production from the middle of its lineup. Grayson Fitzwater went 2-for-4 with a double and three RBI, while Efren Teran finished 2-for-3 with a run and a walk. Gabriel Rodriguez started and gave the Cannon Ballers four innings, allowing one earned run with four strikeouts, and Blaine Wynk earned the win after three scoreless innings out of the bullpen.
The DSL Sox were the lone affiliate that didn’t come away with a win, but Graterol’s day stood out anyway. Hector Paulino went 3-for-4 with a double and an RBI, Josiel Veras added a double, run, and RBI, and Diego Natera also doubled and drove in a run. On the mound, Jose Taveras, Beinel Adon, and Jefferson Timaure all struggled before Jhoriel De La Rosa closed with 2.2 scoreless innings.
Overall, the White Sox affiliates went 4-1 on Tuesday.

White Sox Fans Have A New Rate Field Worry In Bridgeport
A new development near Rate Field is adding another layer of uncertainty for White Sox fans in Bridgeport. Amtrak plans to build a 24/7 industrial maintenance facility in the neighborhood, with work expected to affect nearby residents and some of the parking lots surrounding the ballpark beginning in 2027. The project has already received a federal categorical exclusion, meaning it can move ahead without a full environmental assessment, which only sharpened attention at a recent public meeting.
For a fan base already living with questions about the long-term future of the ballpark area, the location and timing of the project have become part of a broader conversation about what comes next in Bridgeport. Some residents raised concerns about the impact on the neighborhood and linked the plan to possible future White Sox stadium development and ownership changes involving Justin Ishbia, though those ownership details remain speculative for now.

White Sox Prospect Roch Cholowsky Suddenly Faces A Health Question
Roch Cholowsky has been on the sidelines since Saturday after tweaking his wrist during his last plate appearance, and the White Sox prospect has now missed four straight games. For now, the club has kept him off the injured list, which suggests there is still some optimism that this is more of a short-term setback than a longer concern.
Cholowskys absence has left a small but noticeable hole in the recent minor league lineup flow, especially with the organization still sorting out who is available and who is not on a day-to-day basis. The fact that he has not been shut down entirely is the key detail here, and it leaves the next update on his wrist as the one White Sox followers will be watching most closely. [Read more 🡒]
Jonathan Cannons White Sox Future Looks Bleaker Than Fans Expected
Jonathan Cannons first two seasons with the White Sox have followed a far bumpier path than the club probably envisioned when he reached the majors in 2024. He got a real look right away, making 21 starts and covering 124.1 innings, but the progress did not carry over into 2025, when his performance slipped and his role began to shrink as the season went along.
By August, Cannon was back in Triple-A, and his big league chances have been scarce since then, with only a few appearances in Chicago and most of them coming out of the bullpen. He is still on the roster-building radar, but heading into 2026, his path back to a rotation spot looks far less straightforward than fans might have expected after his debut. [Read more 🡒]
