Athletics (41-52) at Chicago White Sox (47-45) — Game Preview
The Athletics (41-52) visit Rate Field on July 10, 2026 to take on the Chicago White Sox (47-45). Chicago’s pitching staff carries a 4.23 team ERA while the Athletics sit at a 5.12 mark on the mound overall.
Nick Kurtz has turned first base into a middle-of-the-order fixture for the Athletics, batting .266 with 20 home runs and 66 RBIs through the first half of the season, and his .405 on-base percentage sits well above that average, pointing to a patient approach at the plate.
Behind the plate, catcher Shea Langeliers has quietly matched Kurtz’s power, sitting at 20 home runs of his own to go with 45 RBIs, though his .263 average trails Kurtz’s mark. On the home side, third baseman Miguel Vargas leads the White Sox with 56 RBIs, three more than shortstop Colson Montgomery’s 53, while Montgomery paces the club with 23 home runs, three ahead of Vargas’ 20. The White Sox lead the AL Central despite sitting 7.5 games behind the American League’s overall leader, and the Athletics remain six games back in the AL West and 14 games off the American League lead altogether.

Players to Watch: Athletics vs. Chicago White Sox
Athletics
Nick Kurtz — 1B. Kurtz has turned first base into a middle-of-the-order fixture for the Athletics, batting .266 with 20 home runs and 66 RBIs through the first half of the season. His .405 on-base percentage and .497 slugging percentage give him one of the more complete offensive profiles on the roster, reaching base far more often than his batting average alone would suggest.
Shea Langeliers — C. Behind the plate, Langeliers has quietly matched Kurtz’s power, sitting at 20 home runs of his own to go with 45 RBIs. His .263 average trails Kurtz’s mark, but the pop he provides from the catcher spot has made the Athletics’ lineup deeper than the club’s 41-52 record suggests.
Chicago White Sox
Miguel Vargas — 3B. Third baseman Vargas leads the White Sox with 56 RBIs, three more than Colson Montgomery’s 53, and has paired that production with 20 home runs and a .239 average. His RBI total makes him the most consistent run producer in a Chicago lineup that has found more pop than average this season.
Colson Montgomery — SS. Montgomery has been the most explosive bat in Chicago’s infield, leading the club with 23 home runs, three ahead of Vargas’ 20, despite a .222 average that undersells his impact. The shortstop’s 53 RBIs show the power has translated into runs even when the average has not cooperated.
Sam Antonacci — LF. The contact element missing elsewhere in Chicago’s lineup belongs to left fielder Antonacci, who is hitting .289 with a .380 on-base percentage and a .411 slugging mark. He gives the White Sox a table-setting presence in an order otherwise built around the long ball from Montgomery and Vargas.
