Chicago White Sox shortstop Braden Shewmake (ankle) is back in the team's Cactus League lineup on Saturday against the Seattle Mariners, playing shortstop and batting ninth in the order. Shewmake has recovered quickly from the left-ankle sprain that he suffered last Sunday and is back in the spring lineup this weekend. The 26-year-old rookie make his big-league debut in 2023 with the Atlanta Braves but made only two appearances, going 0-for-4 at the plate with a strikeout. He was traded to the White Sox last November and should be able to win a bench spot on the Opening Day roster as long as he doesn't suffer a setback with his ankle in the next couple of days. Shewmake figures to serve as the primary backup at the 6 in Chicago this year behind Paul DeJong.

Chicago White Sox infielder Braden Shewmake (ankle) doesn't look like he's going to be ready in time for Opening Day. The 26-year-old has suffered a left ankle sprain that is going to sideline him for 2-4 weeks of action. That's a shame considering Shewmake was looking like a lock to make the Opening Day roster. Now, the White Sox will likely have to go with another veteran option while top prospect Colson Montgomery continues developing in the minors. The good news is that Shewmake should be back on the field in a few weeks.
