Oscar Colás's Stats, Metrics, Game Logs, Projections & Rankings

The Chicago White Sox demoted outfield prospect Oscar Colas to Triple-A Charlotte on Sunday. Colas, 25, continues to operate between Charlotte and Chicago this season, but has gotten limited playing time when in the big leagues. Colas has always shown good power, but has yet to figure it out against big-league pitching. With the White Sox rostering one of the weakest rosters in the game and rostering the fragile Eloy Jimenez, Colas should get another chance at playing time as the summer goes on. He can safely remain on the waiver wire in all formats.

Chicago White Sox outfielder Oscar Colas was called up to the big league roster on Saturday. Andrew Benintendi (Achilles) is expected to be placed on the injured list in a corresponding move. The 25-year-old is slashing .244/.358/.406 with five home runs, 21 RBI, 25 runs, and six stolen bases over 46 games for Triple-Charlotte last year. He does have fantasy upside after slashing .314/.371/.524 in 526 plate appearances between High-A Winston-Salem, Double-A Birmingham, and Triple-A Charlotte in 2022. Colas has a path to everyday playing time and is worth adding to deep-league formats.

After just recently being called up by the Chicago White Sox, outfielder Oscar Colas was optioned back to Triple-A Charlotte on Thursday. Colas was with the White Sox for one game and was hitless in his pinch-hitting appearance. The move to send the 25-year-old back down to the farm after he was just brought up on Wednesday is a sign that outfielder Eloy Jimenez (groin) could come off the injured list this weekend after missing some time with a left-groin strain. Even if Jimenez comes back this weekend, veterans Robbie Grossman and Kevin Pillar should see more playing time with Luis Robert Jr. (hip) out for a while. Colas hit just .216 (53-for-245) with five home runs, 19 RBI and four steals in 75 games in his MLB in 2023. We'll likely see him back in the big leagues as outfield depth again in 2024.

The Chicago White Sox recalled outfielder Oscar Colas from Triple-A Charlotte on Wednesday after third baseman Yoan Moncada (groin) was placed on the 10-day injured list. While Colas isn't in the starting lineup for Wednesday's contest against the Cleveland Guardians, there's a good chance the 25-year-old will see an extended opportunity for regular at-bats moving forward with both Eloy Jimenez (groin) and Luis Robert Jr. (hip) also on the injured list for the White Sox. Fantasy managers in mixed leagues probably won't take notice unless Colas improves on his weak performance in his MLB debut last year, when he slashed a paltry .216/.257/.314 with five home runs, 19 RBI, four steals and 71 strikeouts in 263 plate appearances over 75 games played. Scoop him up in AL-only formats for outfield depth.

Chicago White Sox outfielder Oscar Colas is expected to start the 2024 season in the minor leagues, according to Scott Merkin of MLB.com. Colas drastically underwhelmed during his debut season last year, slashing just .216/.257/.314 with a 4.6 BB%, 27.0 K%, and 53 wRC+. He was also a letdown in the outfield with his -8.4 fWAR on defense, -5.0 DRS, and -15.5 UZR/150. With that said, he did fare better at Triple-A and figures to be one of the first names called upon when Chicago needs to add an outfielder or bench bat this season. In the meantime, look for Andrew Benintendi, Luis Robert Jr., and Gavin Sheets to start most games in the outfield. Additional depth will be provided through the likes of Eloy Jimenez and Andrew Vaughn, as well as Nicky Lopez in a pinch.
