2 days agoThe Chicago White Sox claimed infielder/outfielder
Greg Jones off waivers from the Colorado Rockies on Wednesday and optioned him to Triple-A Charlotte. In a corresponding move, the team designated outfielder
Oscar Colas for assignment. The Rockies acquired Jones in a trade with the Tampa Bay Rays last March, and the 27-year-old made his big-league debut in Colorado, going 1-for-5 with a home run and an RBI in just six games. He hit .269/.346/.460 with 16 homers and 46 steals in 406 plate appearances at Triple-A Albuquerque. Jones should have a better shot at sticking in the majors with the rebuilding White Sox and could be worth stashing in AL-only leagues for his speed. Colas, 26, hasn't developed as the White Sox envisioned he would and has hit .223/.271/.309 with five homers, 23 RBI and 81 strikeouts in 301 trips to the plate over 88 games in 2023 and 2024.

1 week agoThe Chicago White Sox have optioned outfielder
Oscar Colas to Triple-A Charlotte. The 26-year-old held a modest /250/.333/.375 line through 10 games at spring training. Colas will now have to work his way back to the big leagues from Triple-A. Last summer, Colas appeared in 13 MLB contests and posted a .273./368/.273 slash line. During the 2023 campaign, Colas made his MLB debut and logged 75 starts in the majors. During this stint, he posted a .216/.257/.314 line with nine doubles and five home runs. Across 170 career games with Triple-A Charlotte, Colas has gone deep 22 times and held a .260/.340/.433 slash line. The 26-year-old has swiped 15 bags and held a modest 75:172 BB:K. When he does return to the majors, he could have value in deeper AL-only formats.

3 weeks agoChicago White Sox outfielder
Oscar Colas (wrist) exited Thursday's spring training contest early due to a wrist sprain. The team noted that the outfielder is day-to-day. Fantasy managers should continue his status as he may be held out of the lineup for a few days. The 26-year-old is currently competing for a depth role in the Chicago outfield. Last season, Colas appeared in 13 games for the White Sox and held a .273/.368/.273 slash line. During the 2023 campaign, Colas logged a career-high 75 contests and posted a .216/.257/.314 line with nine doubles and five long balls. Given his lack of consistent success in the major leagues, fantasy managers should expect Colas to begin the 2025 campaign at the Triple-A level.

2 months agoAccording to Francys Romero, the Chicago White Sox are considering moving outfielder
Oscar Colas to first base during spring training. This would significantly improve his chances of making the Opening Day roster. Last summer, Colas appeared in just 13 games on the Southside and held a .273/.368/.273 slash line. He tallied nine hits, but none went for extra bases. He drew walks at a solid 10.5 percent rate but held a hefty 26.3 percent strikeout rate. During his debut campaign in 2023, the 26-year-old posted a .216/.257/.314 slash line with nine doubles and five home runs. Across 170 contests at the Triple-A level, Colas has posted a .262/.340/.433 line. Fantasy managers should monitor his progression during spring training, as he could find value in deeper AL-only formats at first base. He will compete for starts alongside
Andrew Vaughn and
Bobby Dalbec.
