Chicago White Sox baseball is back, at least schedule-wise. It might be a while before the team is a playoff contender.

The White Sox are set to play the Los Angeles Angels on Thursday at Rate Field. The White Sox are trying to improve from their 2024 record of 41-121, which is one of the worst records in modern league history.

On Thursday, Chicago made 10 roster moves before their matchup with the Angels, including DFAs for two players they traded for, left-handed pitcher Jake Eder and outfielder Dominic Fletcher.
