White Sox's Korey Lee: Impressive in spring
Lee has gone 10-for-25 with four extra-base hits in Cactus League games.
Lee has a 49 wRC+ across 490 big-league plate appearances, so success across a small sample in relatively meaningless games isn't all that reassuring. However, he appears likely to enter the regular season as Chicago's primary catcher and his performance this spring could buy him some additional time over top prospects Kyle Teel and Edgar Quero.

White Sox's Andrew Benintendi: Progressing quicker than expected
Benintendi (hand) took live batting practice Monday, Daryl Van Schouwen of the Chicago Sun-Times reports. "I feel a lot better than I anticipated," Benintendi said after Monday's workout. "Things kind of progressed better than we thought. The bone itself is healed. At this point it's just pain tolerance."
Benintendi faced pitching for the first time since Feb. 27, when he suffered a non-displaced fracture of the bone on beneath the pinky knuckle on his right hand after Guardians lefty Logan Allen struck him with a pitch. The 30-year-old said that he had been hitting for four or five days before testing himself in a live session Monday, and if he experiences no unexpected pain coming out of the workout, he could be cleared to rejoin the White Sox's Cactus League lineup as a designated hitter Wednesday against the Brewers. At the time he suffered the injury, Benintendi faced an estimated recovery timeline of 4-to-6 weeks, but he sounds like he'll push to be ready for the March 27 season opener against the Angels, even if the fractured bone hasn't fully healed by then.

White Sox's Drew Thorpe: Pitching in minor-league game
Thorpe (elbow) will make an appearance in a minor-league game Thursday, Scott Merkin of MLB.com reports.
White Sox pitching coach Ethan Katz said Monday that Thorpe is "responding well" as the team continues the pitcher's slow ramp-up following surgery to remove a bone spur from his right elbow last September. He will begin the season on the injured list, and it's not yet clear how long he might be sidelined.

White Sox's Josh Rojas: Recovering from big toe fracture
White Sox manager Will Venable said Monday that Rojas has been diagnosed with a hairline fracture in his right big toe, Scott Merkin of MLB.com reports.
Rojas suffered the injury during Saturday's Cactus League game against the Rockies. Venable was unwilling to rule Rojas out for Opening Day, as the skipper described the injury as a pain-tolerance situation that the 30-year-old infielder might be able to play through. If Rojas begins the season on the injured list, the White Sox would have room on the roster for an extra infielder such as Brooks Baldwin, Bryan Ramos, Jacob Amaya or Brandon Drury.

White Sox's Corey Julks: Loses out on roster spot
The White Sox reassigned Julks to minor-league camp Monday.
Outrighted off Chicago's 40-man roster in January, Julks still received an invitation to big-league spring training but was unable to make much of a push for a bench role with the White Sox to open the season. After turning in a .581 OPS in 189 plate appearances with Chicago in 2024, Julks went 6-for-27 (.222 average) with 10 strikeouts over 13 Cactus League games. Julks is expected to begin the season at Triple-A Charlotte.

White Sox's Zach DeLoach: Sent to minor-league camp
The White Sox reassigned DeLoach to minor-league camp Monday.
DeLoach was outrighted off the White Sox's 40-man roster shortly before spring training, but he was still given the chance to compete for a reserve outfield job for the big club during camp. The 26-year-old didn't stand out in the competition, going 3-for-22 with four walks and nine strikeouts in Cactus League play before the White Sox cut him from big-league camp. DeLoach is expected to begin the season at Triple-A Charlotte.

White Sox's Cal Mitchell: Dismissed from big-league camp
The White Sox reassigned Mitchell to minor-league camp Monday.
Though Mitchell didn't see any big-league action in 2024 after previously appearing in 71 games for the Pirates between the 2022 and 2023 seasons, the White Sox gave him plenty of opportunities this spring to stake his claim to a spot on the Opening Day roster. The 26-year-old couldn't capitalize, however, slashing just .200/.192/.320 with 11 strikeouts in 26 Cactus League plate appearances. Mitchell is expected to open the season at Triple-A Charlotte.

White Sox's Andre Lipcius: Bid for Opening Day roster ends
The White Sox reassigned Lipcius to minor-league camp Monday.
Lipcius was one of 11 players cut Monday as the White Sox reduced their group at big-league camp to 42 players. The 26-year-old infielder previously played in 13 games in the majors with the Tigers in 2023 and posted an .809 OPS over 636 plate appearances at Triple-A Oklahoma City in the Dodgers organization in 2024, but he went just 3-for-22 in Cactus League play this spring to take him out of contention for an Opening Day roster spot with Chicago.

White Sox's Edgar Quero: Heading to minor-league camp
The White Sox reassigned Quero to minor-league camp Monday.
Quero went just 4-for-16 with a walk over nine Cactus League games, but even if he had obliterated pitching in the spring, the White Sox still might have had him open the season at Triple-A Charlotte to delay the start of his MLB service clock. Korey Lee appears to be the leading candidate to begin the season as Chicago's No. 1 backstop, but it may just be a matter of time before Quero or fellow catching prospect Kyle Teel supplants him. In the meantime, Quero and Teel are likely to begin the season at Triple-a Charlotte, where both should be able to pick up everyday at-bats while rotating between catcher and designated hitter.

White Sox's Jonathan Heasley: Sent to minor-league camp
The White Sox reassigned Heasley to minor-league camp Monday.
Heasley, 28, attended camp as a non-roster invitee after he had previously turned in a 5.89 ERA and 89:55 K:BB in 139 career innings in the big leagues over parts of the last four seasons. Though he was sharp over his four Cactus League appearances in allowing just two hits and two walks while striking out three over four scoreless frames, Heasley will need to distinguish himself over a larger sample at Triple-A Charlotte before he gets a look with the White Sox.

White Sox's Justin Dunn: Dispatched to minor-league camp
The White Sox reassigned Dunn to minor-league camp Monday.
Dunn previously made 32 big-league starts from 2019 through 2022 with the Mariners and Reds, but he faced long odds to break camp with the White Sox after missing most of the last two seasons due to shoulder problems. The 29-year-old righty has stayed healthy in camp and has been effective over his four Cactus League appearances, allowing just one earned run on three hits and four walks while striking out two over eight innings. If Dunn can carry that success over to Triple-A Charlotte to begin the season, he could put himself in consideration for a promotion to the big club.

White Sox's Kyle Teel: Headed to minors
The White Sox reassigned Teel to minor-league camp Monday.
Though Teel and Edgar Quero are two of the more highly regarded catching prospects not just in the White Sox organization but in all of baseball, the duo will likely split time behind the plate and at designated hitter at Triple-A Charlotte to begin the season before making their respective MLB debuts later on in 2025. The White Sox appear set to proceed with Korey Lee as their No. 1 catcher, but after he posted a .591 OPS over 394 plate appearances in 2024, he likely won't be tough to dislodge atop the depth chart once the organization is confident Teel and/or Quero are big-league ready. As a member of the Red Sox organization last season, Teel slashed .288/.386/.433 with 13 home runs and 12 steals over 112 games at the Double-A and Triple-A levels.

White Sox's Dominic Fletcher: Misses out on Opening Day roster
The White Sox optioned Fletcher to Triple-A Charlotte on Monday.
Even with Chicago's outfield depth being tested so far this spring with Andrew Benintendi (hand) and Austin Slater (oblique) likely set to begin the season on the injured list, Fletcher was unable to distinguish himself in the competition for a roster spot. After producing a lowly .508 OPS in 240 plate appearances with the White Sox in 2024, Fletcher continued to struggle in Cactus League play this spring, going just 4-for-33 with nine strikeouts. The 27-year-old should get the chance to play on an everyday basis at Charlotte to begin the season.

White Sox's Mason Adams: Dealing with flexor strain
Adams was diagnosed with a flexor strain in his right elbow Sunday, Scott Merkin of MLB.com reports.
The 25-year-old is without an official return timeline but is likely to be sidelined for multiple weeks, if not months. Adams received a promotion to Triple-A Charlotte late last season and had a 4.95 ERA, 1.60 WHIP and 10:9 K:BB across 20 innings.

White Sox's Josh Rojas: Exits game with big toe injury
Rojas left in the fourth inning of Saturday's spring game against Colorado due to soreness in his right big toe.
Rojas went 0-for-2 before being replaced by Jordan Sprinkle at third base. An update on Rojas' injury should be made once he undergoes further testing. Rojas had gone 10-for-30 with two walks, two RBI and six runs scored in spring training heading into Saturday's game.

White Sox's Mason Adams: Dealing with right elbow injury
Adams left Friday's spring game against the Reds due to right elbow discomfort.
Adams left in the second inning of Friday's game after being visited on the mound by a trainer. The 25-year-old right-hander will undergo further testing Saturday, at which point the White Sox will have a better idea of the severity of the injury and will possibly be able to map a rehab schedule.

White Sox's Mason Adams: Leaves appearance with injury
Adam was lifted from Friday's spring outing versus the Reds with an apparent injury, Daryl Van Schouwen of the Chicago Sun-Times reports.
Adams was visited by the trainer after issuing a walk with one out in the second inning and eventually walked off the field. The White Sox should have an update on the right-hander's condition shortly.

White Sox's Mike Clevinger: Poised for ninth-inning role
Manager Will Venable said Friday that Clevinger will be "near the top" of the White Sox's options for the ninth inning, Bruce Levine of 670TheScore.com reports.
Venable indicated he may utilize multiple pitchers in the closer role, but naming Clevinger specifically could make him the early favorite for saves in Chicago. The veteran right-hander has recorded three strikeouts while not allowing a baserunner in his two spring appearances. Clevinger is set to work as a full-time reliever for the first time in his career after making just four starts for the White Sox last season while contending with neck and elbow injuries.

White Sox's Sean Burke: Secures rotation spot
Manager Will Venable announced Friday that Burke will be in the White Sox's season-opening rotation, Scott Merkin of MLB.com reports.
The right-hander made his MLB debut down the stretch last season and allowed just three earned runs with a 22:7 K:BB across 19 innings, and he'll retain that rotation spot for the start of 2025. Burke is one of the organization's top prospects, though his performance at Triple-A Charlotte last year was underwhelming, as he finished with a 4.62 ERA in 16 starts.

White Sox's Jared Shuster: Sent to Triple-A
The White Sox optioned Shuster to Triple-A Charlotte on Friday, Daryl Van Schouwen of the Chicago Sun-Times reports.
Shuster hasn't fared well this spring, getting touched up for nine runs on 15 hits and one walk over seven frames. The left-hander was used mostly as a reliever with the White Sox last season but could be stretched back out as a starter in Charlotte.
