Tristan Peters kept stacking up milestones Friday night, and by the time the seventh inning was over, he had done something no White Sox player had done since 2017.
The Chicago center fielder completed the cycle in a 14-1 win over the Athletics at Rate Field, becoming the seventh player in franchise history to do it. Peters finished the feat with a triple in the seventh inning, capping a night that started with a double in the third, added a single in the fifth and then turned into a showcase once Chicago opened the game up.
Batting ninth, Peters doubled off Athletics starter Aaron Civale in the third inning and later singled against him in the fifth. Then, with the White Sox already in control at 4-1, he helped ignite an eight-run burst by launching a two-run homer off Justin Sterner in the seventh. A few batters later, Peters completed the cycle with a triple off Mason Barnett in the same inning.
That made him the first White Sox player to hit for the cycle since José Abreu did it on Sept. 9, 2017, against the San Francisco Giants.
Peters’ rise with Chicago has been one of the quieter success stories of the season. The White Sox got him from the Tampa Bay Rays for cash considerations on Dec.
18, 2025. Before that, he was a seventh-round pick of the Milwaukee Brewers in 2021 and also played for the Savannah Bananas that same year.
Now he’s putting together a strong line for the White Sox: .303/.357/.484 with 74 hits, six home runs and 35 RBIs in 89 games.

White Sox Just Made A Bold Bet With Recent MLB Talent
The White Sox added another layer to their recent roster-and-rebuild juggling act by turning a package of young talent into a premium draft asset. Chicago landed the 34th overall pick in the upcoming MLB draft, a Competitive Balance Round A selection, while also bringing in left-handed pitching prospect Jaden Woods in a deal that sent Jacob Gonzalez and left-handed reliever Brandon Eisert to Pittsburgh.
For a club still sorting out its long-term core, the move is notable because it gives the front office more draft capital while also clearing room for another organization to plug in a recent major league debutant. Gonzalez had just reached the big leagues with Chicago, but the White Sox clearly viewed the chance to add a high-end pick as worth the cost, especially with the draft now offering another path to reshape the system.

White Sox Just Added Serious Draft Firepower With A Surprising Trade
The White Sox added another layer to their draft haul by landing the 34th pick in Saturdays draft, along with the associated slot value, in a trade with Pittsburgh. That move gives Chicago three of the first 41 selections and the largest bonus pool for the 2026 draft, a clear sign the front office is leaning hard into adding young talent and maximizing its flexibility at the top of the board.
Chicago also brought in Triple-A left-hander Jaden Woods, giving the deal a little more than just draft capital. The Pirates, meanwhile, got players they expect to help their major league roster quickly, which is the kind of return that usually makes a trade feel balanced in the moment, even if the long-term payoff is still very much to be determined.
