\u201cIt\u2019s cool to see, especially with a trade of that magnitude, and you have so many guys who are higher-level minor-league prospects that are ready to go,\u201d manager Will Venable said last week. \u201cSeeing them make their impact here in the early going has been awesome.\u201d<\/p>\n
The fourth player, outfielder Braden Montgomery, is working his way through the Sox farm system at Class A Winston-Salem.<\/p>\n
\u201cVery happy with how those players have performed,\u201d general manager Chris Getz said Monday. \u201cYou go back to where we were going into 2024 with Garrett Crochet and the unknowns, whether he was going to be able to start or not.<\/p>\n
\u201cNow you look at where you are today and have been able to convert Garrett Crochet into multiple players that can help us. We feel like we\u2019re in a much better place.\u201d<\/p>\n
Meidroth was the first of the group to join the big-league club, getting called up from Triple-A Charlotte on April 11<\/a>. He\u2019s third on the team in hits (56) and walks (28) and has a .260\/.347\/.312 slash line through 59 games.<\/p>\n His season has included a 12-game hitting streak from May 11-25. Meidroth has reached base safely in 46 of his first 55 major-league starts after going 0-for-3 with a walk in Saturday\u2019s 1-0 victory against the San Francisco Giants.<\/p>\n Meidroth made a smooth play at second base in the ninth, fielding a hard-hit grounder by Heliot Ramos and throwing to first for the second out.\u00a0The Sox received strong pitching from Adrian Houser, who allowed four hits in seven scoreless innings, and Grant Taylor in a six-out save. Andrew Benintendi provided the offense with a home run in the sixth.<\/p>\n \u201cHe\u2019s proven that he\u2019s a winning player,\u201d Getz said of Meidroth. \u201cYou look at his at-bats, the amount of pitches he sees, the ability to make contact. You look at his on-base percentage, you look at the hits that he\u2019s put together, he\u2019s a guy that you want up to the plate pretty much in every situation, so that\u2019s a pretty good sign.<\/p>\n \u201cDefensively he\u2019s been really solid at shortstop. He\u2019s got the ability to play anywhere on the infield. We\u2019re really happy where Chase is in his development. There\u2019s definitely a place for him on a championship club.\u201d<\/p>\n The Sox promoted Teel to the majors from Charlotte on June 6<\/a>. He\u2019s sharing time at catcher with another rookie, Edgar Quero.<\/p>\n \u201cHe\u2019s getting settled here at the major-league level,\u201d Getz said. \u201cI love the way he\u2019s been catching. Whether it\u2019s the game-calling, the framing, the catch-and-throw.<\/p>\n \u201cHe made a great play (in the seventh inning June 22 against the Blue Jays) with that throw home (from third baseman Josh Rojas) that short-hopped that he handled with such ease and grace. That speaks to his athleticism as a left-handed-hitting catcher. Those are hard to find, so we\u2019re certainly excited having that skill set.\u201d<\/p>\n Photos: Chicago White Sox shut out San Francisco Giants 1-0<\/a><\/p>\n<\/blockquote>\n Teel has a .279\/.396\/.349 slash line with eight walks, five runs and two RBIs in 15 games. He had a career-high three hits Wednesday against the Arizona Diamondbacks.<\/p>\n \u201cThe game speed itself felt the same since I got here,\u201d Teel said after that 7-3 victory. \u201cI wouldn\u2019t say it was faster or slower over time. It\u2019s more just adjustments I have to make and just sticking to my plan.\u201d<\/p>\n![\"White](\"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/us\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/06\/CTC-L-SOX-GIANTS-062825-27_230871206.jpg\")
