Fantasy Impact: De Los Santos pitched for three different teams in 2024, posting a 5.20 ERA and a 1.41 WHIP. He will likely sign with a team as a depth option heading into the 2025 season.

Fantasy Impact: Sheets was in his first year of arbitration eligibility, but will now hit free agency after the White Sox did not offer him a contract. The 28-year-old posted a .233 average, with 10 home runs, and 45 RBI in 139 games in 2024.

Fantasy Impact: The former top prospect has struggled with injuries throughout his career, especially in 2024 where he was limited to just 12 games. The 29-year-old third baseman will hit the open market in search of a fresh start.

Luis Robert Jr. is in the starting lineup for the White Sox Sunday.

Fantasy Impact: Robert will patrol center field and bat second against the Tigers. He is hitting .224, with 14 home runs, 35 RBI, and 22 stolen bases this season.

Sean Burke delivered a stellar performance, allowing no earned runs on just two hits and three walks while striking out six over five innings in Saturday's 4-0 victory over the Tigers.

Fantasy Impact: This outing continues a promising trend for Burke, who now boasts a 1.42 ERA and a 1.00 WHIP across his first three starts of the season. His ability to maintain a high strikeout rate (10.4 K/9) alongside a solid strikeout-to-walk ratio (3.14) suggests that he could be a valuable asset in fantasy leagues, especially if he continues to limit runs as effectively. While his low BABIP (.222) might hint at some regression, his strong FIP (3.41) indicates that his performance has not been solely due to luck. Fantasy managers should consider Burke a potential high-upside pick.

Bryan Ramos went 1-for-3 with a home run and an RBI in the White Sox's 4-0 win over the Tigers.

Fantasy Impact: The young third baseman's solo shot contributed to the team's offense in a game where runs were at a premium. Despite the home run, Ramos's season batting average remains a concern at .189 through 31 games, indicating inconsistency at the plate. His power numbers are modest with just three homers, and a low BABIP of .208 suggests some bad luck, but not enough to excuse his overall poor hitting performance. Fantasy managers should view Ramos as a risky play.

Andrew Benintendi had a productive outing in the White Sox's 4-0 triumph over the Tigers, going 2-for-4 with a home run, a double, two runs scored, and two RBI.

Fantasy Impact: This performance could be a bright spot in what has been a somewhat underwhelming season for Benintendi, who's batting just .229 through 135 games. His power numbers are respectable, with 20 home runs and 20 doubles, but his overall production has been limited by a low BABIP of .245. Fantasy managers should note that while he's not the most consistent hitter this season, his ability to drive in runs and hit for power occasionally provides value.

Zach DeLoach went 2-for-4 in the White Sox's 4-1 loss to the Tigers with a home run, a double, one run scored, and one RBI.

Fantasy Impact: Despite the team's struggles, DeLoach's performance was a bright spot, showcasing his potential power with his first home run of the season. His season batting average still hovers at .217. Fantasy managers should keep an eye on DeLoach, as his high strikeout rate and low walk rate continue to be areas of concern.

Garrett Crochet delivered a strong performance, allowing zero earned runs on four hits and one walk while striking out six over four innings in Friday's 4-1 loss to the Tigers.

Fantasy Impact: Despite his solid outing, Crochet's efforts weren't enough to secure a win for the White Sox. This season, Crochet has been a bright spot in the rotation, boasting a 3.58 ERA and a stellar 12.9 K/9 ratio. His ability to suppress runs while maintaining a high strikeout rate and a low WHIP of 1.07 continues to make him a valuable asset in fantasy leagues, especially in categories that reward strikeouts and WHIP. However, his win-loss record reflects the team's struggles.

Miguel Vargas is out of the starting lineup for the White Sox Friday.

Fantasy Impact: Vargas will head to the bench for the series opener with the Tigers. Andrew Vaughn will serve as the DH and bat fourth.

Dominic Fletcher is out of the starting lineup for the White Sox Friday.

Fantasy Impact: Fletcher will head to the bench for the start of the series with the Tigers. Zach DeLoach will start in right field and bat second.

Nicky Lopez is in the starting lineup for the White Sox Friday.

Fantasy Impact: Lopez will start at shortstop and bat leadoff against the Tigers. He is hitting .243, with one home run, and 21 RBI this season.

Jacob Amaya is out of the starting lineup for the White Sox Friday.

Fantasy Impact: Amaya will head to the bench for the series opener with the Tigers. Nicky Lopez will start at shortstop and bat leadoff.

Chris Flexen delivered a masterful performance in Thursday's 7-0 win against the Angels, tossing 6.1 scoreless innings while allowing just five hits and one walk, striking out seven.

Fantasy Impact: This outing was a bright spot in what has been a challenging season for Flexen, whose ERA stood at a bloated 4.95 with a 1.52 WHIP after this game. Despite his struggles with consistency and a poor win-loss record of 3-15 prior to this game, performances like this showcase his potential upside. Fantasy managers should remain cautious, however, as his season-long metrics suggest volatility, but this start might be a sign of late-season adjustments finally paying dividends.

Davis Martin had a shaky outing, allowing two earned runs on three hits and five walks while striking out four over 3.2 innings in Wednesday's 4-3 win over the Angels.

Fantasy Impact: Despite the White Sox securing a victory, Martin's performance was marred by control issues, leading to a high walk count and an early exit from the game. His season-long metrics, including a 4.32 ERA and a 1.46 WHIP, suggest inconsistency, and this latest performance underscores his struggles with command. Fantasy managers should be cautious, as his high walk rates and lack of wins could be detrimental to both ERA and WHIP, limiting his viability as a reliable fantasy starter.

Lenyn Sosa went 2-for-4 in the White Sox's 4-3 win over the Angels, contributing a home run, a double, two runs scored, and an RBI.

Fantasy Impact: This performance underscores Sosa's potential to deliver impactful hits, though his season-long inconsistency, marked by a .248 batting average and a modest power output, tempers expectations. His strikeout rate remains a concern, but games like this highlight his ability to contribute to runs and RBI when he connects. Fantasy managers should view Sosa as a situational player whose value spikes in favorable matchups, though his regular output might not justify a permanent roster spot in shallower formats.

Korey Lee went 2-for-2 with a home run and two RBI in the White Sox's 4-3 win against the Angels.

Fantasy Impact: His performance included a critical home run and a pair of walks, contributing significantly to the team's narrow victory. Despite a challenging season with a batting average of just .211, Lee's ability to deliver key hits like today's homer suggests potential for clutch performances. However, his high strikeout rate and low walk rate continue to be areas of concern for fantasy managers. Lee's power can be a boon, but his overall inconsistency at the plate makes him a risky play in most fantasy formats.

Fantasy Impact: Baldwin is unlikely to return this season with just one week left. He should compete for the starting job at second base next year with the White Sox.
