Summary
The White Sox are clinging to a wild-card spot in a tense playoff race, but injuries and slumps are mounting pressure. Shortstop Colson Montgomery, bruised from a pitch, is day to day as the team trails first place by a half-game. Key hitters like Montgomery and Murakami are struggling at the plate, while the team’s September slugging ranks last in MLB. Luis Castillo heads to the bullpen as the rotation adapts, leaning on a strong relief corps since June. Veteran players like Benintendi and Pham are stepping up to mentor younger teammates through the high-stakes stretch. With just ten games left, manager Will Venable remains confident they can finish strong and return to the postseason for the first time since 2021.
