White Sox urge Oscar Colas to quiet down

The Chicago White Sox want rookie right fielder Oscar Colas to dial down his intensity level and play at a more controlled volume, as he has been struggling at the plate since returning from Triple A Charlotte. The team's focus is on helping Colas control the strike zone and avoid chasing pitches. Colas, one of the franchise's top prospects, won the right fielder's job in the offseason but was sent down in May due to his hitting performance. Left-hander Garrett Crochet also returned from his rehab assignment with shoulder inflammation, while Andrew Vaughn's bone bruise kept him out of the starting lineup for the third straight day. Joe Kelly is expected to return from the injured list soon.

White Sox Release Garcia, Add Colas to Opening Day Roster.

The Chicago White Sox have released utilityman Leury García and selected the contracts of outfield prospect Oscar Colás and veteran infielder Hanser Alberto.

White Sox make roster decisions ahead of Opening Day.

The Chicago White Sox have informed outfielder Oscar Colas that he will make the Opening Day roster, while veteran utility player Leury Garcia will not. Garcia's versatility has made him a valuable bench player over his 10 seasons with the team, but his offensive struggles in 2022 and the emergence of other utility options made him expendable. Meanwhile, Colas, who signed with the team for a $2.7MM bonus in 2022, is expected to make his MLB debut after hitting .314/.371/.524 with 23 homers across three minor league levels last season.
