With most of their young core already on the major league roster \u2014 headlined by shortstop Colson Montgomery and right-hander Grant Taylor \u2014 the White Sox will add to it by calling up two more of their top prospects.\u00a0<\/p>\n<p>The Chicago White Sox are promoting left-hander Noah Schultz and infielder Sam Antonacci<\/p>\n<p>According to\u00a0<a target=\"_blank\" href=\"https:\/\/x.com\/elijahev8\/status\/2043138892791263514?s=46\" rel=\"nofollow\">Just Baseball\u2019s Elijah Evans<\/a>, the White Sox are promoting two of their top prospects, left-hander Noah Schultz (White Sox No. 2 prospect, MLB No. 46) and infielder\u00a0<a target=\"_blank\" href=\"https:\/\/x.com\/elijahev8\/status\/2043180509233377342?s=46\" rel=\"nofollow\">Sam Antonacci<\/a>\u00a0(White Sox No. 9 prospect). Schultz, 22, has a 3-0 record with a 1.29 ERA and 19 strikeouts (two walks) in 14.0 innings, while Antonacci, 23, is batting .317 with a .997 OPS, two home runs, six RBI, and has walked (14) more than he&#8217;s struck out (six).\u00a0<\/p>\n<p>Noah Schultz and Sam Antonaccin should make an impact right away for the White Sox\u00a0<\/p>\n<p>Antoannci has been playing the outfield down in Charlotte to expand his versatility, and with the White Sox having a need. The Springfield, Illinois native, should receive a decent amount of playing time in the outfield and possibly at third base with Miguel Vargas struggling. Vargas is batting .196 with a .703 OPS and has provided okay defense at third base (zero defensive runs saved).\u00a0<\/p>\n<p>As for the hometown kid (Naperville, Illinois), Schultz will join a starting rotation that has had little success to begin the season. The White Sox have the fourth-worst starters\u2019 ERA (4.67) in baseball and optioned their Opening Day starter, right-hander Shane Smith, to Triple-A after having a 10.80 ERA in three starts.\u00a0<\/p>\n<p>More News:\u00a0<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"The Chicago White Sox have a ton of talent in their minor league system that will soon help&hellip;\n","protected":false},"author":2,"featured_media":59490,"comment_status":"","ping_status":"","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"footnotes":""},"categories":[2379],"tags":[5,138,49,2561,4,396,2562],"class_list":{"0":"post-674056","1":"post","2":"type-post","3":"status-publish","4":"format-standard","5":"has-post-thumbnail","7":"category-chicago-white-sox","8":"tag-baseball","9":"tag-chicago","10":"tag-chicago-white-sox","11":"tag-chicagowhitesox","12":"tag-mlb","13":"tag-white-sox","14":"tag-whitesox"},"share_on_mastodon":{"url":"https:\/\/channels.im\/@mlb\/116391594415502163","error":""},"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.rawchili.com\/mlb\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/674056","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.rawchili.com\/mlb\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.rawchili.com\/mlb\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.rawchili.com\/mlb\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/2"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.rawchili.com\/mlb\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=674056"}],"version-history":[{"count":0,"href":"https:\/\/www.rawchili.com\/mlb\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/674056\/revisions"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.rawchili.com\/mlb\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media\/59490"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.rawchili.com\/mlb\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=674056"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.rawchili.com\/mlb\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=674056"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.rawchili.com\/mlb\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=674056"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
