Chicago White Sox (38-32) at New York Yankees (43-27) — Game Preview
The Chicago White Sox arrive at Yankee Stadium at 38-32 to face a New York Yankees club sitting five games clear of them at 43-27. The matchup tilts toward New York at the plate, where Ben Rice carries a .611 slugging mark while Chicago leans on contact bats that have produced far less power. Rice anchors the Yankees lineup from first base, hitting .293 with 19 home runs and 47 RBIs and reaching base at a .387 clip.
Chicago counters with Chase Meidroth, whose .280 average and .351 on-base percentage make him the table-setter at the top of the order. Miguel Vargas gives the White Sox their own pop from third base, with 16 home runs and a team-leading 44 RBIs even as his average sits at .247. New York’s lineup is thinned by injuries, with Aaron Judge and Giancarlo Stanton both on the 10-day IL, putting more weight on Rice in the middle of the order.

Players to Watch: Chicago White Sox vs. New York Yankees
Chicago White Sox
Chase Meidroth — 2B. Meidroth sets the tone at the top of the Chicago lineup, hitting .280 with a .351 on-base percentage. His .402 slugging mark adds a bit of extra-base threat to a profile built mostly on getting on base and turning the order over.
Miguel Vargas — 3B. Vargas supplies the middle-of-the-order power for Chicago, leading the team with 44 RBIs and adding 16 home runs from the hot corner. His .247 average reflects a hitter who does his damage in bunches rather than through steady contact.
New York Yankees
Ben Rice — 1B. Rice has become the engine of the Yankees offense, hitting .293 with 19 home runs and 47 RBIs while reaching base at a .387 clip. His .611 slugging percentage is the standout number in this matchup, marking him as New York’s most dangerous bat with several regulars sidelined.
