White Sox's Lenyn Sosa: Goes yard twice in nightcap
Rotowire
Sosa went 2-for-4 with a walk and two solo home runs in the second game of Friday's doubleheader split with the Guardians.
The 25-year-old started both games of the twin bill at second base, and after an 0-for-3 showing in the matinee, Sosa teed off against Gavin Williams in the nightcap with long balls in the first and fifth frames. Sosa's enjoying a productive stretch heading into the All-Star break, slashing .288/.315/.615 over his last 14 games with five of his nine homers on the season and 14 of his 31 RBI.

White Sox's Lenyn Sosa: Powers offense in Colorado
Rotowire
Sosa went 3-for-5 with a double, a home run, four RBI and two runs in Saturday's 10-3 win against the Rockies.
Sosa entered the game in a bit of a slump with just four hits in his previous 22 at-bats, but he delivered his fourth three-hit game of the campaign Saturday while launching his seventh homer. The 25-year-old has been decently productive in a bad lineup through 73 games this year with a .275 average, 27 RBI and 24 runs, though his minuscule 2.6 percent walk rate has resulted in a .294 OBP and .713 OPS.

White Sox's Lenyn Sosa: Goes yard twice in win
Rotowire
Sosa went 3-for-4 with two home runs and four RBI in Wednesday's 7-3 win over the Diamondbacks.
The second baseman put the White Sox in the lead for good with his fifth long ball of the season in the fourth inning, a two-run homer off Zac Gallen, and he added a solo shot off Tayler Scott in the eighth. It was the first multi-homer game of Sosa's career, and the four RBI were also a personal best. Over nine games since returning from his latest IL stint, he's gone 9-for-30 (.300) with five of those hits going for extra bases (two doubles, a triple and two home runs.)

White Sox's Lenyn Sosa: Losing out on playing time
Rotowire
Sosa is out of the lineup for Monday's game against the Mariners.
Sosa finds himself on the bench for the White Sox's third straight matchup versus a right-handed starting pitcher (Luis Castillo) and looks to have moved into more a part-time role while Josh Rojas has settled in as the team's primary second baseman. The White Sox will have a regular spot in the lineup available for Sosa when the team faces left-handed pitching, but the lack of a consistent role against righties significantly limits his fantasy appeal.

White Sox's Lenyn Sosa: Knocks in pair

Sosa only has 10 RBI across 33 games this season, but five have come in his last 10 appearances. He's hitting a decent .256 for the campaign, but he has just a .086 ISO and also suffers from hitting in the bottom-third of the White Sox's order.

White Sox's Lenyn Sosa: Bright spot for White Sox
Rotowire
Sosa went 2-for-4 with a double Wednesday against the Athletics.
Sosa's overall numbers aren't particularly impressive, but he quietly hit well during the White Sox's home stand.

White Sox's Lenyn Sosa: Hitting bench Sunday
Rotowire
Sosa is out of the lineup for Sunday's game against the Tigers.
Sosa will head to the bench after he started at second base in the first two games of the series. The 25-year-old has cobbled together a .200/.200/.360 slash line through 25 plate appearances on the season, and he could be at risk of losing playing time with Brooks Baldwin likely to see more reps in the infield with outfielder Mike Tauchman (hamstring) returning from the injured list Sunday.

White Sox's Lenyn Sosa: Making case for role
Rotowire
Sosa has gone 8-for-22 with four walks and six strikeouts in Cactus League action.
Sosa entered spring training with a strong chance to make the Opening Day roster because he was out of minor-league options. His performance on the field has further helped his case, though it is worth noting that he has only two extra-base hits with no home runs. Sosa doesn't have a clear role in the lineup, but he closed the 2024 campaign with a 1.018 OPS across his final 21 games, giving him more potential than many of the White Sox's projected regulars.

Rotowire
Sosa went 2-for-5 with a double, two RBI and a run scored Thursday against the Angels.
