Benintendi's season ends early after an Achilles flare, capping a year in which he reached 20 homers while posting a .240/.307/.431 line in fewer games. The injury muddies the White Sox’s high-priced investment and fantasy outlook alike.

Corey Julks earns a call-up to fill the roster, with Colson Montgomery blasting a 428-foot two-run shot at Yankee Stadium and Shane Smith chipping in five innings of one-run ball as Chicago battles toward the finish. Kyle Teel debuts for the Yankees at Yankee Stadium as attendance edges up modestly, and the Sox look to avoid a third straight 100-loss season with two games left against New York and a trip to Washington.

All Chicago White Sox affiliates tasted victory on August 27, 2025. Charlotte Knights erased a big Nashville comeback with a late 10th-inning push, anchored by Dominic Fletcher’s RBI single and a two-out triple that produced two more runs. Lipcius, Ramos, and Julks supplied key knocks, while Duncan Davitt steadied the rotation through five solid frames before a bullpen hiccup opened the door for Nashville’s rally. In Birmingham, Gowens contended through six, while Birmingham’s late-inning attack flipped a 1-1 game into a 6-2 win. Winston-Salem shut down Rome behind Ziehl, and Kannapolis used a fourth-inning surge to clear Salem 5-1, while Sprinkle’s baserunning continued to pile up SB successes. Four affiliates win, and Sox prospects pile up meaningful data for fantasy observers.

Fantasy takeaway: Fletcher’s late clout and Lipcius’ multi-hit day boost their minor-league profiles, while Kannapolis’ Sprinkle and the Kannapolis-Winston-Salem SB combo highlight-speed as a possible asset in deeper leagues. The day underscores the depth in the Sox system: strong pitching in the Dash and steady execution from the Knights’ lineup create a fertile ground for call-ups and speculative adds as rosters expand.

The Chicago White Sox have bolstered their pitching staff by signing left-handed pitcher Martin Perez to a one-year deal, pending a physical examination. Perez, who spent time with both Pittsburgh and San Diego last season, recorded a 5-6 record and a 4.53 ERA over 26 starts. In his career, he has made 314 major league appearances, with a 90-87 record and a 4.44 ERA.

Last season, Perez faced challenges, including a stint on the injured list due to a groin strain, but he closed the season strong with a 3-1 record and a 3.46 ERA in his final ten starts with the Padres. The White Sox, coming off a dismal 2024 season with a record of 41-121, are looking for a turnaround.

Additionally, infielder Josh Rojas has joined the team with a one-year, $3.5 million contract, while Jake Amaya has been designated for assignment. Rojas struggled last season with the Mariners, hitting .225 with eight home runs and 31 RBIs. The White Sox also made roster adjustments, assigning outfielder Corey Julks to Triple-A Charlotte and claiming infielder Braden Shewmake off waivers from the Kansas City Royals.

The Chicago White Sox have bolstered their pitching rotation by signing left-handed starter Martín Pérez to a one-year contract. The deal, which is subject to a physical, comes as the team aims to improve after a challenging 2024 season where they set a major league record with 121 losses.

Pérez, who spent last season with the Pittsburgh Pirates and San Diego Padres, finished the year with a 5-6 record and a 4.53 ERA over 26 starts. The 33-year-old has a career record of 90-87 with a 4.44 ERA in 314 appearances, including 269 starts.

After recovering from a left groin strain that sidelined him for roughly a month, Pérez closed out his tenure with Pittsburgh strongly, allowing no runs in his final start before being traded to San Diego. He made a positive impact for the Padres, securing a 3-1 record and a 3.46 ERA in his last ten starts, though he did not participate in the postseason.

In addition to signing Pérez, the White Sox also finalized a $3.5 million, one-year deal with infielder Josh Rojas, who had a blend of power and speed with eight homers and ten steals in 143 games for Seattle last season. Meanwhile, infielder Jake Amaya was designated for assignment as part of the team's roster adjustments.
