Chase Meidroth Fantasy Stats

Chicago White Sox second baseman Chase Meidroth went 1-for-3 with a walk and a run scored in Monday's 10-3 win over Texas. He is batting .272 with seven home runs, 57 runs, 32 RBI, and two steals across 356 at-bats. The speed has nearly vanished after 14 steals last season, and seven homers do not turn him into a power pickup. Still, he keeps playing and getting on base. Meidroth started at second base and hit fifth Monday. Eligibility at second, third, and shortstop makes the profile easier to use when injuries or off days leave a hole. Only 27% of Yahoo leagues have him rostered. There is not a loud category here, but the .272 average and regular plate appearances have value. RotoBaller keeps Meidroth in its 12-team range, where he works as a steady middle-infield option rather than a priority claim.

Across 392 plate appearances in 2026, Chicago White Sox infielder Chase Meidroth is hitting .269/.341/.379 with seven home runs, 31 RBI, 54 runs scored, and two stolen bases. The 24-year-old has made some power strides this season after hitting five homers across 505 plate appearances in 2025, but he still owns just a 4.2% barrel rate and a 34% hard-hit rate. Meidroth has also seen his strikeout rate spike from 14.3% last season to 24.0% in 2026. Still, Meidroth owns a strong 9.4% walk rate and profiles as a plus defender in the middle infield for Chicago, which keeps him in the lineup on an everyday basis. He also swiped 14 bags in 2025, so he could get to a bit more speed over the final few months of the current season. Fantasy managers should not expect league-winning production from Meidroth, but he's a useful depth piece to target on deep-league waiver wires.

Chicago White Sox infielder Chase Meidroth had a strong month of June, putting himself on the map for a waiver-wire pickup in deeper mixed leagues for fantasy managers in search of infield depth. In 25 games last month, Meidroth went 27-for-94 (.287) with a homer, four doubles, nine RBI, and 14 runs scored across 106 plate appearances to boost his season line to .268/.339/.378 with a .717 OPS. So far in five games in July, he's gone 3-for-19 (.158) with a homer, two RBI, a run scored, one walk, and three strikeouts. The former fourth-round pick by the Boston Red Sox in 2022 out of the University of San Diego made his big-league debut last year with the White Sox and hit .253/.329/.320 with a .649 OPS, five homers, 23 RBI, 14 stolen bases, and 54 runs scored in 122 games played. Meidroth is striking out at a higher 23.9% clip (compared to 14.3% last year), and he's also not running as much when he gets on base. He might be worth a look as a short-term waiver-wire option when he's hot, but Meidroth's xBA of .229 and xwOBA of .285 point to plenty of regression coming in the second half.

Chicago White Sox infielder Chase Meidroth is quietly hitting .276 (83-for-301) in his second year in the major leagues for a resurgent White Sox club in 2026. Meidroth hit .253/.329/.320 with only five home runs, 23 RBI, 14 stolen bases, and 54 runs scored in 122 games (505 plate appearances) in 2025 in his rookie season. He's only stolen two bases in his 80 games so far in 2026, but the 24-year-old former fourth-round pick by the Boston Red Sox in 2022 out of the University of San Diego already has a career-high six homers in 339 plate appearances. In 23 games and 97 plate appearances in June, Meidroth has gone 26-for-89 (.292) with a homer, three doubles, nine RBI, and 11 runs scored. The problem with adding Meidroth off the waiver is that he currently has an elevated 24.8% strikeout rate (up from 14.3% last year), and his walk rate is nearly identical to what it was last year at 8.6%. His xBA of .227 and xwOBA of .282 point to serious regression since he's not making nearly as much contact as he did in 2025. Meidroth might be in play as a short-term middle-infield boost while he's hot, but his underlying metrics say that it's not going to last. He's rostered in only 30% of Yahoo leagues.

Across 299 plate appearances in 2026, Chicago White Sox infielder Chase Meidroth is hitting .278/.347/.399 with six home runs, 25 RBI, 43 runs scored, and two stolen bases. The 25-year-old's underlying power metrics are marginally improved this season, as he's logged a 5.0% barrel rate after posting a 1.6% barrel rate in 2025. Still, Meidroth is highly unlikely to provide fantasy managers with much power or run production. On the other hand, Meidroth has established himself as a plus defender at second base with a solid hit tool, which should keep him in the White Sox lineup on an everyday basis. He also stole 14 bases in 122 MLB games in 2025, so his speed output could pick up over the course of a larger sample size in 2026. In deeper leagues, fantasy managers in need of stability in the middle infield may want to consider targeting Meidroth on the waiver wire.

Chicago White Sox second baseman Chase Meidroth has quietly put together a solid season thus far, slashing .274/.344/.390 with five home runs, two stolen bases, 40 runs, and 21 RBI. He is in the top 16 overall in MLB in hits and runs and has demonstrated strong plate discipline metrics, as evidenced by his 26.4 percent chase rate (69th percentile), 19.8 percent whiff rate (74th percentile), and 22.2 percent strikeout rate (42nd percentile). While none of those numbers pop off the charts, they are consistent, and he is seeing every day playing time for the White Sox, who are competing this year (34-31), and Meidroth is batting in the middle of the lineup (fifth), which should continue to produce run-scoring opportunities. Meidroth, who was a former fourth-round pick in 2022, doesn't profile as a player with incredible upside, but his situation and plate discipline have made him into a reliable fantasy asset that fantasy managers should consider at the middle infield position.

Chicago White Sox infielder Chase Meidroth (ankle) is out of Tuesday's starting lineup against the division-rival Minnesota Twins at Target Field after suffering a sprained right ankle in Monday's contest. Lenyn Sosa will draw the start at the keystone and will bat out of the three-hole against Twins right-hander Simeon Woods Richardson. For now, Meidroth should be viewed as day-to-day by fantasy managers in deeper leagues, but he shouldn't be ruled out for a trip to the injured list if he can't get back on the field soon. Sosa has been one of the team's more productive bats this year, as he enters Tuesday's game with a career-best 18 home runs, 61 RBI and a .266/.295/.432 slash line in 120 games played for the Pale Hose. In his first 99 MLB games this year, Meidroth has gone 92-for-363 (.253) with only four homers, 21 RBI and 13 steals in 409 trips to the plate.

Chicago White Sox infielder Chase Meidroth (ankle) was forced to make an early exit from Monday's game against the Minnesota Twins. It's unclear when Meidroth suffered the injury, but he was lifted late in the game due to a right ankle sprain. He finished the day 1-for-4 with a homer and two RBI. It doesn't appear to be a serious injury, so fantasy managers should consider Meidroth as day-to-day. He should be able to avoid a trip to the injured list, but fantasy managers should check back on Tuesday for another update. Lenyn Sosa shifted over to second base after Meidroth's departure. Sosa figures to see increased playing time over there if Meidroth misses time.

The Chicago White Sox announced on Friday that they reinstated rookie infielder Chase Meidroth (thumb) from the 10-day injured list and designated infielder Jacob Amaya for assignment in a corresponding move. Meidroth will immediately return to the starting lineup for Friday's series opener on the road against the division-rival Kansas City Royals and left-hander Noah Cameron, as he's playing second base and batting in the eight-hole. The 24-year-old missed only 10 days due to a bruised thumb and should return to primary duties at the keystone for the Pale Hose. Outside of some modest speed (11 stolen bases), Meidroth hasn't done much for fantasy managers in his first 84 big-league games, slashing .252/.330/.319 with three home runs, 15 RBI and 36 runs scored in 349 plate appearances. He has never faced Cameron in his career.

The Chicago White Sox have placed middle infielder Chase Meidroth (thumb) on the 10-day injured list with a right thumb contusion, retroactive to Aug. 4. The team selected the contract of infielder Jacob Amaya from Triple-A Charlotte in a corresponding move. Meidroth hasn't played since he took a pitch off the thumb and had to leave early in a 9-3 win over the Philadelphia Phillies last Wednesday. The 24-year-old rookie has hit .252/.330/.319 with three homers, 15 RBI, 36 runs scored, and 11 stolen bases in 349 plate appearances this season.
