Oscar Colas Stats

Chicago White Sox outfielder Oscar Colas has been optioned to Triple-A amid a lengthy slump at the big-league level. The 24-year-old Colas is in a 5-for-40 skid while he's hitting just .211 with one homer, two steals, and a .541 OPS across 84 plate appearances on the season. It's certainly a disappointing circumstance considering how Colas breezed through three minor-league levels last season. He spent the bulk of his time between High-A and Double-A, hitting .306 with 14 homers and a .927 OPS at Double-A prior to raking in a brief seven-game stint at Triple-A. Infielder Lenyn Sosa was also sent to the minors as part of a flurry of roster moves made by the White Sox on Tuesday.

Chicago White Sox outfielder Gavin Sheets and outfielder Oscar Colas are both in the starting lineup on Friday against the Houston Astros and right-hander Cristian Javier. Andrew Vaughn will start on the bench. Sheets is at first base and is batting sixth, while Colas is in right field and hitting eighth in the order. The 26-year-old lefty-hitting Sheets should see occasional starts between first base and the outfield against right-handed pitchers in 2023, while Colas should see the strong side of a right field platoon in Chicago. Sheets has a bit of pop but has been a below-average hitter at the MLB level. Colas had his first major-league hit as a pinch-hitter on Opening Day. The 24-year-old will likely be inconsistent in his first MLB campaign, but he also has 30-homer upside.

Chicago White Sox outfielder Oscar Colas is not in the team's starting lineup on Opening Day on Thursday. Instead, Romy Gonzalez will get the start in right field and bat ninth against the Houston Astros and left-hander Framber Valdez. Eloy Jimenez is serving as the designated hitter and is batting cleanup for Chicago. Colas should be the team's primary right fielder against right-handed pitching in 2023, but Gonzalez will get the nod to kick off the 2023 regular season. Gonzalez hit just .222 (10-for-45) in 20 spring training games, but he also had five home runs and 10 RBI, so he'll give the Pale Hose some pop at the bottom of the lineup. For DFS purposes, though, the 26-year-old will be a boom/bust play.
