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.

Picking up fifth straight start Sosa will start at third base and bat seventh in Wednesday's game against the Giants.

Impact The White Sox will keep Sosa in the lineup for a fifth straight game, with two of his starts coming against right-handed pitching during that stretch.

Sosa has produced a lowly .309 OPS since being recalled from Triple-A Charlotte on July 30, but Vargas has gone hitless in his last four starts and has performed almost equally poorly (.385 OPS) since making his White Sox debut that same date.
