Players to Watch: Chicago White Sox vs. New York Yankees
Chicago White Sox
Miguel Vargas — 3B. Vargas leads the White Sox with 44 RBIs and supplies the lineup’s main power source with 16 home runs. His .244 average sits below his run-production output, which marks him as more of a slugger than a table-setter in this order.
Chase Meidroth — 2B. Hitting .278 with a .347 on-base percentage, Meidroth is the contact bat that sets the table near the top of the Chicago order. His .399 slugging percentage rounds out a profile built on getting on base rather than driving the ball over the wall.
Colson Montgomery — SS. Montgomery brings extra-base thump from the middle infield with 19 home runs and 44 RBIs to go with a .502 slugging percentage. The .225 average reflects a free-swinging approach, though his .319 on-base mark keeps him productive enough to anchor the bottom-third power.
New York Yankees
Ben Rice — 1B. Rice pairs average and power better than anyone in the New York lineup, hitting .291 with 20 home runs and 49 RBIs. His .611 slugging percentage and .390 on-base mark make him the most complete bat the White Sox will see in this game.
Cody Bellinger — LF. Bellinger matches Rice’s RBI total at 49 while hitting .280 across the season. His 11 home runs come with a more contact-oriented approach than Rice’s, giving the Yankees a second run producer in the heart of the order.
Paul Goldschmidt — 1B. Goldschmidt brings the highest average among New York’s featured bats at .301, backed by a .560 slugging percentage and 11 home runs. His .368 on-base percentage and 36 RBIs round out a steady veteran presence in the lineup.
