Angels’ plan for Rengifo injury before Opening Day

Rotoworld Player News

Luis Robert Jr.

CWS Center Fielder #88

2hLuis Robert Jr. went 2-for-3 with a three-run homer on Monday, powering the White Sox to a 8–5 victory over the Athletics.

Robert has closed out the spring on a bit of a hot streak, going deep in back-to-back contests to end Cactus League play. The 27-year-old’s power-speed upside is among the game’s elite, but the lack of a strong supporting cast puts him in the top-30 range at the moment among fantasy outfielders.

Davis Martin

CWS Starting Pitcher #65

2hDavis Martin struck out three and allowed one run over five innings on Monday against the Athletics.

Martin wrapped up an extremely strong spring with a 1.00 ERA, 0.44 WHIP and eight strikeouts over nine innings (three starts). The 28-year-old righty showed some encouraging signs late last year after adding a kick-changeup to his repertoire. He’ll open the regular season in the back-end of Chicago’s starting rotation. He projects as a matchup-dependent streaming option for fantasy purposes in deeper mixed leagues.

Chase Meidroth

CWS Shortstop #85

6hWhite Sox reassigned 2B/SS Chase Meidroth to minor league camp.

Meidroth will open the regular season at Triple-A Charlotte after hitting .154 (6-for-39) with one extra-base hit and one steal in 16 Cactus League contests. The 23-year-old infielder boasts excellent plate discipline, but might need to get more aggressive at the highest level to emerge as an everyday regular. It’ll be some combination of Josh Rojas, Lenyn Sosa and Jacob Amaya handling the starting middle infield roles for the White Sox at the outset of the year.

Omar Narvaez

FA Catcher #10

6hWhite Sox released C Omar Narváez.

It’ll be Korey Lee and Matt Thaiss opening the year as Chicago’s primary catchers. Narváez was in White Sox camp as a non-roster invitee. The 33-year-old journeyman receiver shouldn’t have trouble latching on somewhere else as emergency depth.

Miguel Vargas

CWS Third Baseman #20

22hMiguel Vargas swatted his second home run of the spring as the White Sox fell to the Diamondbacks on Sunday afternoon.

Vargas tagged right-hander Ryne Nelson for his solo shot in the third inning of this one, pulling the White Sox to within two runs at 5-2. He also singled in the contest, finishing the afternoon 2-for-3. The 25-year-old has had a productive spring at the dish, hitting .349 (15-for-43) with a pair of home runs and six RBI.

Luis Robert Jr.

CWS Center Fielder #88

22hLuis Robert Jr. clubbed his third home run of the spring in a losing effort against the Diamondbacks on Sunday afternoon.

The dynamic 27-year-old outfielder crushed (102.7 mph EV) the first pitch that he saw from Jeff Brigham in the opening inning for a solo homer to give the White Sox an early 1-0 edge. He went down on strikes in each of his other two at-bats on the day, finishing the afternoon 1-for-3. So far in Cactus League action, he has hit .277 (13-for-47) with three homers, five RBI and a stolen base. As long as he’s able to avoid the injured list, he should be a strong fantasy contributor once again in 2025, even with his counting stats being a bit muted due to his supporting cast.

Gus Varland

CWS Relief Pitcher #37

1dWhite Sox optioned RHP Gus Varland to Triple-A Charlotte.

Varland was hit hard this spring in a handful of Cactus League relief appearances and will open the regular season back at the Triple-A level. The 28-year-old righty made a career-high 26 relief outings last year between the White Sox and Dodgers.

Prelander Berroa

CWS Relief Pitcher #66

1dWhite Sox placed RHP Prelander Berroa to the 60-day injured list.

Berroa was moved to the 60-day IL in a corresponding move to make room on the 40-man roster for Mike Vasil, who the White Sox claimed off waivers from the Rays. This doesn’t impact Berroa’s injury timetable as he was already set to miss the entire season with Tommy John surgery.

Mike Vasil

CWS Starting Pitcher #70

1dWhite Sox claimed RHP Mike Vasil off waivers from the Rays.

A former eighth-round draft pick by the Mets in 2021, Vasil didn’t have a good enough spring training for the Rays to justify keeping him after they selected him in the Rule 5 Draft this offseason. The White Sox decided to take him, though. Chicago moved Prelander Berroa to the 60-day injured list in a corresponding move.

Brandon Drury

FA Third Baseman #23

1dWhite Sox released 3B Brandon Drury.

Drury had the option to test free agency if he wasn’t selected for the Opening Day roster and he exercised that right Sunday. The 32-year-old infielder was having a great spring and seemed like a lock for Chicago’s roster before he broke his thumb. It’s unclear when Drury might be able to play again or what his plans are going forward.
