Brooks Baldwin Fantasy Stats

Chicago White Sox utility man Brooks Baldwin (back) was reinstated from the injured list on Saturday, a day after beginning his rehab assignment with Triple-A Charlotte. In his only rehab game, Baldwin hit a home run and scored two runs through seven innings of work in the outfield. Now, he returns to the White Sox, and while he isn't slated to start on Saturday, he should still see some time all over the field. Through 54 games played this season, Baldwin has at least ten appearances at second base, shortstop, and in the outfield. At the plate, he posted a pedestrian .227/.271/.357 slash line this season, he did have seven hits over his last five games played before getting injured. He is worth monitoring in the deepest of leagues and could see a more prominent role on the team after the trade deadline.

Chicago White Sox utilityman Brooks Baldwin (back) hit a solo home run in his first rehab game on Friday with Triple-A Charlotte. He finished the game 1-for-3 with a home run, a walk, one strikeout, and an additional run scored. He played seven innings in left field before being replaced. It's unclear when he will return to the White Sox, but he may not need much more work on this rehab if he can continue to hit and get on base. Through 54 games this season, Baldwin has posted a .227/.271//.357 slash line with four home runs hit. He will look to improve on a subpar 28.4% strikeout rate and a below-average 5.3% walk rate. Upon his return, he will likely get a shot to play in the outfield, similar to what he did earlier this season. He is worth a look in the deepest of leagues.

Chicago White Sox utilityman Brooks Baldwin (back) has been placed on the 10-day injured list as the team enters the All-Star break. Baldwin was scratched from Tuesday's lineup ahead of a loss to the Blue Jays and had appeared in every game since his July 1 call-up. Baldwin provides defensive versatility, but his offensive output has been limited, posting a 28.4% strikeout rate and just a 2.4% home run rate. The White Sox have recalled first baseman Tim Elko. Elko struggled during an earlier 18-game stint with the club, but launched 16 home runs at Triple-A Charlotte this season, bringing much-needed power to a lineup lacking punch.

Chicago White Sox infielder/outfielder Brooks Baldwin (back) has been scratched from the starting lineup ahead of Tuesday's game against the Toronto Blue Jays. Baldwin has been pulled out of the lineup due to lower back tightness. It's a shame because Baldwin has been hitting well lately with a five-game hitting streak coming into this contest. For now, Baldwin should be considered day-to-day with a minor back issue. Austin Slater will take over left field and bat eighth versus right-hander Chris Bassitt on Tuesday.

In addition to prospect Colson Montgomery, Chicago White Sox general manager Chris Getz mentioned Brooks Baldwin, Chase Meidroth and Josh Rojas as options to play shortstop in 2025. Baldwin made his big-league debut in 2024 for the Pale Hose and went 24-for-114 (.211) with two homers, eight RBI and four steals in only 33 games. The 24-year-old also has plenty of experience at second base and could be used in the outfield in a pinch. Rojas has played 44 career games at the 6, 282 at third base and 150 at the keystone. Baldwin hit .330 with eight homers and 17 steals in 82 games at Double-A and Triple-A last year before being called up to Chicago. In addition to suffering a wrist injury, he looked overmatched at the plate in his first taste of the Show. He could open the year as the team's starting shortstop, but he'd just be keeping the spot warm for Montgomery.

Chicago White Sox second baseman/shortstop Brooks Baldwin (wrist) was placed on the 10-day injured list with a right wrist sprain. In a corresponding move, the White Sox recalled infielder Bryan Ramos from Triple-A Charlotte. The 24-year-old came off the bench on Tuesday evening after sitting out the previous seven games but will now sit out for at least the next ten days. Since joining the major leagues in mid-July, Baldwin has posted a mere .211 AVG with only eight extra-base hits. Fantasy managers should expect Lenyn Sosa and Nicky Lopez to serve as the everyday second baseman and shortstop on the Southside down the stretch. Both Sosa and Lopez have been unable to produce consistently this summer and are not worth adding in standard leagues.

Chicago White Sox second baseman Brooks Baldwin hit his second career homer in Monday's 12-2 win over the New York Yankees, his only hit in four plate appearances. Baldwin's blast was a three-run shot in the bottom of the seventh off Enyel De Los Santos, giving the White Sox an 11-2 lead at the time. He is hitting .213/.244/.347 with eight RBI, and seven runs scored in 21 games. Baldwin is 2-for-2 in stolen bases and does offer speed potential in deeper fantasy leagues. He will draw interest in AL-only formats but only for those fantasy managers seeking to fill a middle infield spot with a warm body.

Chicago White Sox second base/shortstop prospect Brooks Baldwin has struggled through his first taste of the big leagues. Across his first 12 games, the former 12th-round selection sits with a .175/.215/.275 slash line. He has hit four doubles and swiped two bags but has yet to go deep. The infielder progressed through the Chicago pipeline fairly quickly as he opened the season by making his Double-A debut and then reached Triple-A in early July. He needed only eight games at the top level of the minor leagues to prove he was ready for a promotion, as he posted a stellar .345/.441/.655 line. Even though Baldwin has struggled to get settled, he is still worth holding onto in deeper leagues as he has been penciled into the starting nine every day.

Among a flurry of roster moves heading into the second half of the season, the Chicago White Sox are calling up infield prospect Brooks Baldwin from Triple-A Charlotte, according to sources. The White Sox designated infielder Danny Mendick for assignment and optioned infielder Lenyn Sosa to Charlotte on Wednesday, making room for Baldwin and the recently signed Nick Senzel. Baldwin hit .322/.386/.441 with six homers, 16 doubles and 16 steals for Double-A Birmingham before the 23-year-old switch-hitter was promoted to Charlotte. At Charlotte, he hit .345/.441/.655 in eight games and now could see playing time at the hot corner in Chicago, at least until Yoan Moncada (groin) comes off the injured list. The former 12th-round pick in 2022 out of UNC Wilmington is the club's No. 23 prospect, per MLB Pipeline, and deserves attention in at least AL-only leagues for his power/speed combo.

Chicago White Sox shortstop prospect Brooks Baldwin went 2-for-5 in his first Triple-A game on Thursday with a single and home run. This is a great sign, as the 23-year-old wasted no time to make an impact at the top level of the minors. With Double-A Birmingham, the number 24 ranked prospect in the White Sox system posted an excellent .322/.386/.441 slash line with six home runs, 37 RBI, and 16 swiped bags in 74 games earlier this season. Baldwin was selected in the 12th round of the 2022 MLB Draft and is progressing through the minor leagues very quickly. Due to his current pace, Baldwin should see a majority of next season in the major leagues.
