Rotowire
Montgomery left Monday's game against Atlanta with left side soreness.
Montgomery can be tagged as day-to-day until the team has more information on the extent of the injury. If he needs to be shut down, look for Brooks Baldwin to see opportunities at shortstop. After the game, Montgomery stated "I just took a swing on a foul ball and I kind of felt a little bit of a stretch. But I mean nothing crazy or anything like that. Got on first and they saw I was feeling for it and they asked me if I felt something and I was like yeah, but nothing too serious," per Scott Merkin of MLB.com.

Rotowire
Montgomery went 1-for-3 with a solo home run and two runs scored Sunday against the Guardians.

White Sox's Colson Montgomery: Smacks eighth homer
Rotowire
Montgomery went 1-for-4 with a solo home run in Tuesday's 8-3 loss to the Mariners.
All eight of those homers have come over his last 12 games dating back to July 22 versus the Rays. The infield prospect struggled a bit initially when he joined the major-league roster, but he's taken little time to find a groove. He's now batting .256 and slugging .567 with 24 RBI, 12 runs scored and no stolen bases across his first 26 contests. Montgomery has helped fill in for Chase Meidroth (thumb) at shortstop, but there should be room for Montgomery in the lineup on a near-everyday basis even when the White Sox have a fully healthy infield.
