Chicago White Sox infielder Chase Meidroth is out of the starting lineup ahead of Wednesday's game against the Houston Astros. Meidroth will get a rest day here after starting in nine straight games. During that span, Meidroth is 12-for-33 with four RBI and at least one hit in seven of his last nine contests. He doesn't offer a ton of power, but his contact ability makes him worth a look in deep leagues. Vinny Capra will cover shortstop and bat ninth versus right-hander Ryan Gusto on Wednesday.
Chicago White Sox catcher Edgar Quero and infielder Chase Meidroth are not in Saturday's lineup when they continue a series against the Baltimore Orioles. Quero has started each of the past five contests and posted a .278/.350/.444 line over this stretch. Meidroth has been a staple of the White Sox starting nine over the past two weeks. Meidroth has started each of the past 13 contests and held a stellar .315/.373/.403 line with two doubles, one home run, and five stolen bases. Fantasy managers should expect both Quero and Meidroth to return to the starting lineup on Sunday. This afternoon, Korey Lee will be behind the dish, and Vinny Capra will cover shortstop. The Chicago White Sox are worth a look in DFS this afternoon as they will face Baltimore right-hander Dean Kremer, who enters this game holding a 5.02 ERA.
Chicago White Sox infield prospect Chase Meidroth was a late scratch on Friday. Fantasy managers should pay close attention to his status, as the team did not provide a reason for why he was removed from the starting nine. The prospect has already had an early-season stint on the injured list due to a thumb injury. Through his first 17 games in the MLB, the former fourth-round pick has held a .245/.355/.264 slash line with three stolen bases. He has tallied just one extra-base hit (a double). He has shown a strong eye at the plate, holding a 9:9 K:BB. If Meidroth were to miss another period of time, fantasy managers should expect Jacob Amaya to see most of the opportunities at shortstop. This evening, Amaya is covering shortstop and batting in the nine-hole.
Chicago White Sox infield prospect Chase Meidroth (thumb) had a productive return on Thursday during their victory over the Milwaukee Brewers. Meidroth went 1-for-4 with a walk and two runs scored. The former fourth-round pick was held out of action for a week due to a thumb injury. However, the infielder returned to his leadoff spot on Thursday and looked comfortable at the plate. Through his first 10 games in the majors, Meidroth has performed quite well, holding a .267/.389/.300 slash line. Meidroth was included in the package that sent Garrett Crochet to the Boston Red Sox during the winter. Fantasy managers should expect Meidroth to continue to have an everyday role in the Chicago starting nine. Given his role in the lineup, he is worth adding in 12+ team formats.
Chase Meidroth Reinstated From Injured List And Starting On Thursday
The Chicago White Sox announced on Thursday that rookie infielder Chase Meidroth (thumb) was reinstated from the 10-day injured list and infielder Gage Workman (hip) was placed on the 10-day IL with a right-hip flexor strain. Meidroth is starting at shortstop and is batting leadoff for Thursday's contest against the visiting Milwaukee Brewers and right-hander Chad Patrick. It's nice that Meidroth is back for the Pale Hose and hitting leadoff in his first game back, but he didn't go on a minor-league rehab assignment at all, and this will be just his 10th game in the big leagues. In nine games after being called up early in the 2025 season, the 23-year-old middle infielder has gone 7-for-26 with an RBI, stolen base, four runs scored, five walks and four strikeouts. Meidroth, Jacob Amaya and Brooks Baldwin could all see action at the 6 going forward in Chicago.
White Sox Place Chase Meidroth On 10-Day Injured List
The Chicago White Sox announced on Monday that they placed infield prospect Chase Meidroth (thumb) on the 10-day injured list with right-thumb inflammation and selected the contract of infielder Bobby Dalbec from Triple-A Charlotte in a corresponding move. Left-hander Martin Perez (elbow) was also moved from the 15-day IL to the 60-day IL. Meidroth had been dealing with the thumb injury for a few weeks, but he'll now go on the shelf after being scratched from Sunday's contest. It remains to be seen how long the 23-year-old will be out, but in the meantime, expect Jacob Amaya and Lenyn Sosa to split playing time at the keystone for Chicago, with Brooks Baldwin playing the 6. Sosa started at second in Monday's loss to Boston and went 1-for-4. In his first nine games in the majors since being recalled, Meidroth has gone 7-for-26 (.269) with an RBI and a stolen base.
The Chicago White Sox have scratched infield prospect Chase Meidroth (thumb) due to a thumb injury. The 23-year-old was initially listed as the starting shortstop and was batting in the leadoff spot. Meidroth was promoted to the major leagues earlier this week and was in the starting lineup in each of the previous eight games. During his first taste of the big leagues, Meidroth has posted a .269/.387/.269 line with a seven total hits (all singles) with a 4:5 K:BB. Fantasy managers should monitor Meidroth's status leading up to their game against the Red Sox on Monday. This afternoon, Meidroth will be replaced by Jacob Amaya, and he will bat in the nine-hole. Meidroth is worth targeting on waivers in deeper formats this week as he appears to have an everyday spot in the lineup.
Chicago White Sox middle-infield prospect Chase Meidroth is starting at second base and is batting leadoff for Thursday's series finale against the visiting Athletics and left-hander J.P. Sears. Meidroth received his first big-league promotion last week, but this is the first time that he will hit higher than fifth in the batting order for the Pale Hose. In his first five major-league games, the 23-year-old has gone 4-for-14 with three runs scored, four walks and two strikeouts. The team's No. 8 prospect, per MLB Pipeline, might be best utilized in deep fantasy leagues for his on-base skills, especially if he sticks near the top of the order going forward. The 5-foot-10, 190-pounder has a compact swing from the right side and high-level bat-to-ball skills, helping him avoid punchouts. Because he lacks power and is playing for one of the worst teams in baseball, he won't move the needle all that much in shallow-mixed leagues.
Chicago White Sox infield prospect Chase Meidroth is batting sixth and covering second base during Sunday's series finale against the Boston Red Sox. The White Sox promoted Meidroth before Friday's game. He was a key piece in the trade that sent Garrett Crochet to Boston earlier in the winter. Through his first two games of his MLB career, Meidroth has tallied at least one hit in each contest. During his first game on Friday, Meidroth reached base four times. At the start of the season, the No. 8-ranked prospect in the system posted a strong .267/.450/.600 slash line with three home runs through the first nine games of the Triple-A campaign. Fantasy managers should consider adding Meidroth in deeper formats, but should consider fading him in DFS facing Boston ace, Garrett Crochet.
The Athletic's James Fegan confirms that the Chicago White Sox are recalling infield prospect Chase Meidroth from Triple-A Charlotte. Meidroth, who is considered the team's No. 8 prospect per MLB Pipeline, is getting his first big-league call-up after hitting .267/.450/.600 with three home runs, a double, four RBI, two stolen bases, eight walks and five strikeouts in 40 plate appearances over nine games with Charlotte to begin the year. The 23-year-old has experience at both second base and shortstop, but he's most likely to see time at the 6 in Chicago, which is bad news for Jacob Amaya. Meidroth has elite bat-to-ball skills and is disciplined at the plate, but he lacks power and doesn't stand out defensively, making him only worth a waiver-wire pickup in AL-only leagues at this time.
