Chase Meidroth DVOA, Advanced Stats, & Fantasy Rankings

The Chicago White Sox announced on Thursday that rookie infielder Chase Meidroth (thumb) was reinstated from the 10-day injured list and infielder Gage Workman (hip) was placed on the 10-day IL with a right-hip flexor strain. Meidroth is starting at shortstop and is batting leadoff for Thursday's contest against the visiting Milwaukee Brewers and right-hander Chad Patrick. It's nice that Meidroth is back for the Pale Hose and hitting leadoff in his first game back, but he didn't go on a minor-league rehab assignment at all, and this will be just his 10th game in the big leagues. In nine games after being called up early in the 2025 season, the 23-year-old middle infielder has gone 7-for-26 with an RBI, stolen base, four runs scored, five walks and four strikeouts. Meidroth, Jacob Amaya and Brooks Baldwin could all see action at the 6 going forward in Chicago.

The Chicago White Sox announced on Monday that they placed infield prospect Chase Meidroth (thumb) on the 10-day injured list with right-thumb inflammation and selected the contract of infielder Bobby Dalbec from Triple-A Charlotte in a corresponding move. Left-hander Martin Perez (elbow) was also moved from the 15-day IL to the 60-day IL. Meidroth had been dealing with the thumb injury for a few weeks, but he'll now go on the shelf after being scratched from Sunday's contest. It remains to be seen how long the 23-year-old will be out, but in the meantime, expect Jacob Amaya and Lenyn Sosa to split playing time at the keystone for Chicago, with Brooks Baldwin playing the 6. Sosa started at second in Monday's loss to Boston and went 1-for-4. In his first nine games in the majors since being recalled, Meidroth has gone 7-for-26 (.269) with an RBI and a stolen base.

The Chicago White Sox have scratched infield prospect Chase Meidroth (thumb) due to a thumb injury. The 23-year-old was initially listed as the starting shortstop and was batting in the leadoff spot. Meidroth was promoted to the major leagues earlier this week and was in the starting lineup in each of the previous eight games. During his first taste of the big leagues, Meidroth has posted a .269/.387/.269 line with a seven total hits (all singles) with a 4:5 K:BB. Fantasy managers should monitor Meidroth's status leading up to their game against the Red Sox on Monday. This afternoon, Meidroth will be replaced by Jacob Amaya, and he will bat in the nine-hole. Meidroth is worth targeting on waivers in deeper formats this week as he appears to have an everyday spot in the lineup.
