The Chicago White Sox are beginning to play great baseball and won their fourth series this season by beating the Texas Rangers 10-5. The White Sox recently added some reinforcements to their lineup when outfielders Andrew Benintendi and Mike Tauchman were reinstated from the injured list and drove in four RBIs in last night’s victory.

The White Sox have also gotten contributions from one of their young guys, Chase Meidroth, who is riding a 12-game hit streak after getting another knock last night and raising his batting average for the season to .307. Miguel Vargas kept his hot bat going by adding two more hits last night. Vargas will be counted on more than ever, as he will be the everyday first baseman after the White Sox optioned Andrew Vaughn and Tim Elko to the minor leagues.

Vaughn and Elko will be joining a Charlotte Knights team that has a few players like Kyle Teel and Colson Montgomery, who are swinging hot bats, and both could be up with the White Sox soon if their success at the plate continues.

Colson Montgomery appears to have turned things around

The start of the 2025 season has not gone as planned for either the White Sox or Montgomery, who got off to one of the worst starts in his young career. Montgomery’s struggles were so glaring and prolonged that he was knocked down two pegs on the White Sox’s top 30 prospect list, going from four to six and getting removed from the MLB top 100 list entirely.

The White Sox decided to put Montgomery on the developmental list and send him to the White Sox facilities in Arizona, where he was to work on his swing with the White Sox director of hitting, Ryan Fuller. Since spending time with Fuller, Montgomery made some noticeable changes to his stance by lowering his hands and changing his approach at the plate.

The changes appear to have taken hold, as since he returned from Arizona, MLB.com Scott Merkin pointed out that Montgomery has gone 12-35 (.343 average), and he has seen his season average climb over the .200 mark for the first time this year.

“Colson Montgomery is 3-for-3 tonight with a home run and two doubles–now hitting .202, and 12-for-35 since his return.”

Even better, Montgomery went 4-4 with two home runs and collected 12 total bases in the Knights’s 8-6 loss to the Frisco Rough Riders.

The Chicago White Sox may call Montgomery up sooner rather than later

A call to the big leagues may be in store for Montgomery, given his success at the plate and the White Sox needing more offense. With the White Sox shifting around their infield alignment with Vaughn and Elko getting sent down, Montgomery could be an option for the White Sox to use as their everyday third baseman with Vargas getting shifted over to first base.

It’s a great sign that Montgomery is showing signs of success after it looked like he was trending toward being a “bust” of a prospect. If Montgomery can keep things up, maybe Montgomery can also be readded to the top 100 prospects list on top of getting called up to the show.
