Oscar Colás Fantasy Stats

Chicago White Sox outfielder Oscar Colas has cleared waivers and has been outrighted to Triple-A. The White Sox designated Colas for assignment earlier this week after they claimed Greg Jones. During spring training, Colas posted a modest .250/.33/.375 slash line across 10 contests. Last season, Colas appeared in 13 contests in Chicago and posted an impressive .273/.368/.273 line. During the 2023 season, Colas made his MLB debut and held a lower .216/.257/.314 line across 75 contests. Across 170 career contests at the Triple-A level, the 26-year-old has posted a .262/.340/.433 line with 37 doubles and 22 round-trippers. Fantasy managers in deeper formats should monitor his progression at Triple-A as he could eventually contend for a return to the majors if he takes the next step with the Charlotte Knights.

The Chicago White Sox claimed infielder/outfielder Greg Jones off waivers from the Colorado Rockies on Wednesday and optioned him to Triple-A Charlotte. In a corresponding move, the team designated outfielder Oscar Colas for assignment. The Rockies acquired Jones in a trade with the Tampa Bay Rays last March, and the 27-year-old made his big-league debut in Colorado, going 1-for-5 with a home run and an RBI in just six games. He hit .269/.346/.460 with 16 homers and 46 steals in 406 plate appearances at Triple-A Albuquerque. Jones should have a better shot at sticking in the majors with the rebuilding White Sox and could be worth stashing in AL-only leagues for his speed. Colas, 26, hasn't developed as the White Sox envisioned he would and has hit .223/.271/.309 with five homers, 23 RBI and 81 strikeouts in 301 trips to the plate over 88 games in 2023 and 2024.

The Chicago White Sox have optioned outfielder Oscar Colas to Triple-A Charlotte. The 26-year-old held a modest /250/.333/.375 line through 10 games at spring training. Colas will now have to work his way back to the big leagues from Triple-A. Last summer, Colas appeared in 13 MLB contests and posted a .273./368/.273 slash line. During the 2023 campaign, Colas made his MLB debut and logged 75 starts in the majors. During this stint, he posted a .216/.257/.314 line with nine doubles and five home runs. Across 170 career games with Triple-A Charlotte, Colas has gone deep 22 times and held a .260/.340/.433 slash line. The 26-year-old has swiped 15 bags and held a modest 75:172 BB:K. When he does return to the majors, he could have value in deeper AL-only formats.

Chicago White Sox outfielder Oscar Colas (wrist) exited Thursday's spring training contest early due to a wrist sprain. The team noted that the outfielder is day-to-day. Fantasy managers should continue his status as he may be held out of the lineup for a few days. The 26-year-old is currently competing for a depth role in the Chicago outfield. Last season, Colas appeared in 13 games for the White Sox and held a .273/.368/.273 slash line. During the 2023 campaign, Colas logged a career-high 75 contests and posted a .216/.257/.314 line with nine doubles and five long balls. Given his lack of consistent success in the major leagues, fantasy managers should expect Colas to begin the 2025 campaign at the Triple-A level.

According to Francys Romero, the Chicago White Sox are considering moving outfielder Oscar Colas to first base during spring training. This would significantly improve his chances of making the Opening Day roster. Last summer, Colas appeared in just 13 games on the Southside and held a .273/.368/.273 slash line. He tallied nine hits, but none went for extra bases. He drew walks at a solid 10.5 percent rate but held a hefty 26.3 percent strikeout rate. During his debut campaign in 2023, the 26-year-old posted a .216/.257/.314 slash line with nine doubles and five home runs. Across 170 contests at the Triple-A level, Colas has posted a .262/.340/.433 line. Fantasy managers should monitor his progression during spring training, as he could find value in deeper AL-only formats at first base. He will compete for starts alongside Andrew Vaughn and Bobby Dalbec.

The Chicago White Sox demoted outfield prospect Oscar Colas to Triple-A Charlotte on Sunday. Colas, 25, continues to operate between Charlotte and Chicago this season, but has gotten limited playing time when in the big leagues. Colas has always shown good power, but has yet to figure it out against big-league pitching. With the White Sox rostering one of the weakest rosters in the game and rostering the fragile Eloy Jimenez, Colas should get another chance at playing time as the summer goes on. He can safely remain on the waiver wire in all formats.

Chicago White Sox outfielder Oscar Colas was called up to the big league roster on Saturday. Andrew Benintendi (Achilles) is expected to be placed on the injured list in a corresponding move. The 25-year-old is slashing .244/.358/.406 with five home runs, 21 RBI, 25 runs, and six stolen bases over 46 games for Triple-Charlotte last year. He does have fantasy upside after slashing .314/.371/.524 in 526 plate appearances between High-A Winston-Salem, Double-A Birmingham, and Triple-A Charlotte in 2022. Colas has a path to everyday playing time and is worth adding to deep-league formats.

After just recently being called up by the Chicago White Sox, outfielder Oscar Colas was optioned back to Triple-A Charlotte on Thursday. Colas was with the White Sox for one game and was hitless in his pinch-hitting appearance. The move to send the 25-year-old back down to the farm after he was just brought up on Wednesday is a sign that outfielder Eloy Jimenez (groin) could come off the injured list this weekend after missing some time with a left-groin strain. Even if Jimenez comes back this weekend, veterans Robbie Grossman and Kevin Pillar should see more playing time with Luis Robert Jr. (hip) out for a while. Colas hit just .216 (53-for-245) with five home runs, 19 RBI and four steals in 75 games in his MLB in 2023. We'll likely see him back in the big leagues as outfield depth again in 2024.

The Chicago White Sox recalled outfielder Oscar Colas from Triple-A Charlotte on Wednesday after third baseman Yoan Moncada (groin) was placed on the 10-day injured list. While Colas isn't in the starting lineup for Wednesday's contest against the Cleveland Guardians, there's a good chance the 25-year-old will see an extended opportunity for regular at-bats moving forward with both Eloy Jimenez (groin) and Luis Robert Jr. (hip) also on the injured list for the White Sox. Fantasy managers in mixed leagues probably won't take notice unless Colas improves on his weak performance in his MLB debut last year, when he slashed a paltry .216/.257/.314 with five home runs, 19 RBI, four steals and 71 strikeouts in 263 plate appearances over 75 games played. Scoop him up in AL-only formats for outfield depth.

Chicago White Sox outfielder Oscar Colas is expected to start the 2024 season in the minor leagues, according to Scott Merkin of MLB.com. Colas drastically underwhelmed during his debut season last year, slashing just .216/.257/.314 with a 4.6 BB%, 27.0 K%, and 53 wRC+. He was also a letdown in the outfield with his -8.4 fWAR on defense, -5.0 DRS, and -15.5 UZR/150. With that said, he did fare better at Triple-A and figures to be one of the first names called upon when Chicago needs to add an outfielder or bench bat this season. In the meantime, look for Andrew Benintendi, Luis Robert Jr., and Gavin Sheets to start most games in the outfield. Additional depth will be provided through the likes of Eloy Jimenez and Andrew Vaughn, as well as Nicky Lopez in a pinch.
