The Chicago White Sox are preparing to welcome the 14-15 Milwaukee Brewers to town for a three-game series. The Brewers are third in the National League Central and are looking to come in to sweep the Sox and boost themselves up in the standings. The White Sox can’t let that happen, as they find themselves once again at the bottom of the American League Central and they need to win a series after dropping the past four.
Thankfully, the White Sox will be getting some reinforcements soon, as Josh Rojas is set to begin a rehab stint with the Charlotte Knights. The Knights have one player who is struggling, Colson Montgomery, who will have his schedule adjusted for a little while he works to get better.
Chicago White Sox work to fix Montgomery’s swing
According to Scott Merkin of MLB.com, the White Sox will be sending Montgomery to Arizona to work with their director of hitting Ryan Fuller to fix his swing. Merkin also reports that this stint to Arizona should last one to two weeks and these sessions will be one-on-one with Fuller.
“Colson will be getting some 1 on 1 work, away from daily games, with Ryan Fuller one of the people there. Get said 1 or 2 weeks.”

This hasn’t been the best start to the season for the young 23-year-old, who is hitting .149/.223/.255 for an OPS of .478 in 23 games with the Knights. The White Sox optioned Montgomery to the Knights after he didn’t hit this spring and that cost him his chance to be the starting shortstop for them.
The need for Colson to start hitting
Montgomery will need to start proving he can hit if he is to have a chance of being the White Sox shortstop of the future. Sadly, not hitting is not unusual for Montgomery, as he is a lifetime .245 hitter in five minor league seasons.
The White Sox aren’t deep at the shortstop position, with their next-best shortstop prospect being Caleb Bonemer. Bonemer was drafted by the White Sox in the second round (43) in the 2024 draft and is not expected to be ready for the MLB until 2028.
Hopefully, these one-on-one sessions with Fuller will fix whatever is broken in Colson’s swing and get him back on track.
