It was a legacy night for White Sox minor league pitching, as the four core affiliates surrendered just six combined runs between them to secure all four victories. New trade acquisition Joe Rock was lights out starting for Triple-A Charlotte, while Lucas Gordon, Grant Umberger, and Max Banks all turned in quality five-inning outings for the lower affiliates.
Chicago’s big-name prospect hitters stayed quiet on the evening, but others provided some firepower. Colby Shelton continued his impressive campaign with a grand slam for Double-A Birmingham, while Ryan Burrowes and Ely Brown went yard for High-A Winston-Salem. 2025 second-rounder Jaden Fauske reached base four times and stole two bases to lead Low-A Kannapolis.
Last but not least, a pair of notable Charlotte relievers stood out: Adisyn Coffey and call-up candidate Ben Peoples both looked sharp over two innings each in the 4-0 win.
Elite third base prospect Caleb Bonemer exited the game for the Dash after getting hit by a pitch on his wrist, but there is no word from any Sox mouthpiece at this time on his status.
