White Sox's Chase Meidroth: Reaching base regularly
Rotowire
Meidroth has a .441 on-base percentage across 34 plate appearances in the Cactus League.
Meidroth has primarily served as Chicago's leadoff hitter this spring, though he has also hit second on a few occasions. His skillset is similar to what he showed as a rookie in 2025, as he's striking out at just an 11.8 percent clip while walking slightly over 20 percent of the time. He should reach base consistently and score plenty of runs during the regular season due to his on-base ability and the improved lineup around him.

Rotowire
The White Sox placed Meidroth on the 10-day injured list Thursday with a right thumb contusion.
Meidroth hadn't made a start in more than a week as he battled the nagging thumb issue, and the White Sox have finally decided to make a roster move with the infielder. He will be eligible for activation Aug. 15 and should have a good chance to be ready on that date. Colson Montgomery has shifted over from third base to shortstop in Meidroth's absence and will continue to play the latter position while Meidroth is out. Brooks Baldwin is likely to pick up most of the starts at the hot corner as a result.
