The White Sox farm system delivered a little bit of everything on Sunday: a three-day game finally got finished, Javier Mogollon kept driving the ball, Jaden Fauske flashed speed and power, and Charlotte rode a bullpen-heavy approach to a win.
At Triple-A, the Knights beat Durham 5-3 behind a solid mix of early work from José Urquidy and a steady relief corps. Urquidy went 2.0 innings, allowing 3 hits and 1 earned run with no walks and 3 strikeouts on 27 pitches, 24 of them strikes.
Daniel Wright picked up the win after 2.0 innings of 2-hit, 1-run relief, and Jaden Woods finished it off with a save. Garrett Schoenle also turned in a clean inning, while Adisyn Coffey handled the final third of an inning.
Charlotte’s lineup got the lift it needed from the middle of the order. Korey Lee homered and drove in 2, Junior Perez added a solo shot, and Ryan Galanie went 2-for-3 with an RBI and a walk. Joey Wiemer had a rough night with three strikeouts, but the Knights still pushed across enough offense to finish the job.
The more dramatic offensive performance came in High-A, where Winston-Salem wrapped up a game that stretched across three days. Roch Cholowsky reached base once in each day of the suspended contest, and the Dash also got a home run from Javier Mogollon in the continuation of the matchup. But Asheville still came away with an 8-4 win in the completed first game.
Cholowsky finished that opener 2-for-4 with a run, a walk, and 3 stolen bases. Mogollon doubled and scored, Nick McLain drove in 2 runs, and Jackson Appel chipped in a 2-for-3 night with a double, a run, an RBI, and a walk. On the mound, Drew McDaniel started with 2.0 innings, and the bullpen work from Caedmon Parker, Dylan Carmouche, and Frankeli Arias wasn’t enough to hold Asheville down.
In the second game, Mogollon again made noise, this time with a 2-for-3 showing that included a home run, a run, an RBI, a walk, and a stolen base. He tied the game with one swing of the bat, and that blast was his 3rd in High-A and 10th of the season.
The Dash also got extra-base hits from Ben Hartl, Bryce Eblin, and Wes Kath, but Asheville answered with enough offense to win 8-5. Justin Sinibaldi opened with 4.0 scoreless innings, while Jesus Mendez and Max Banks were charged with the late damage.
Kannapolis added another win to the system’s Sunday haul, edging Charleston 3-2. Jaden Fauske stood out with a 1-for-4 line that included a triple, an RBI, a run, a walk, and a stolen base.
That triple was his 10th of the season. Stiven Flores went 3-for-4 with an RBI, and Efren Teran drove in a run as well.
The Cannon Ballers got 4.0 innings from Alexander Martinez, who allowed 2 earned runs on 3 hits, and then leaned on a strong bullpen finish. Anthony Patterson III earned the win, Jordan Morales collected the save, and Grant Cleavinger struck out 3 over 1.2 hitless innings.
Sunday’s results gave the affiliates a mix of power, speed, and late-inning pitching that kept the day moving across the system.

White Sox Suddenly Have A Chance To Steady A Battered Position
The White Sox have spent much of 2026 trying to piece together the catcher spot after injuries hit both Kyle Teel and newly acquired Joey Bart. With the depth chart thinned out, Edgar Quero and Drew Romo have been asked to handle a bigger share of the workload, and the position has become one of the clearest trouble spots on the roster.
A possible fix has surfaced in Jake Rogers, a veteran with major league experience who is suddenly available after being designated for assignment by Boston. Chicago does not need a long-term answer as much as a stabilizer, and Rogers gives the club a chance to add a more proven option behind the plate while the rest of the catching group gets healthy.

Chase Meidroth Is Giving The White Sox A New Infield Debate
Chase Meidroth has gone from a useful part of the White Sox infield picture to one of the more important reasons the club can even think about its next steps there. Acquired in a trade, he has taken a clear step forward in 2026 after a rookie year that left plenty of room for growth, and the gains have shown up everywhere from the plate to the field. His batting average, on-base percentage, slugging, home runs and defensive metrics have all improved, and the overall result has made him one of the teams most valuable players.
For a White Sox team still sorting out how its infield should look going forward, that kind of rise matters. Meidroth now sits second on the club in fWAR behind Miguel Vargas, which is a notable place to be for a player who was not originally expected to be part of the conversation at this level so quickly. The bigger question is how Chicago balances his surge with the rest of the roster picture, because the more he plays like this, the harder it gets to treat him as anything less than a central piece.

Colson Montgomery Is Becoming A Real White Sox Debate
Colson Montgomery has become one of the more interesting evaluation cases on the White Sox roster, because the offensive line is pulling in two directions at once. The power is real, and the glove at shortstop keeps adding value, but a .213 batting average is the kind of number that forces a tougher conversation than the usual young-player growth curve.
The bigger question for Chicago is how to weigh the total package when the plate discipline still lags behind the league standard. His on-base and walk rates are a little below average, the strikeout rate is higher than normal, and yet the pop and defensive work make him far more than a one-dimensional bat. For a White Sox club trying to sort out what it has, Montgomery is no longer just a prospect to monitor. He is becoming a player the organization has to debate in earnest. [Read more 🡒]
