24-Year-Old Second Baseman2B
Chicago White Sox
2024 Fantasy Outlook
Sosa hasn't done much in his cups of coffee to date. He was called up early last season after getting off to a blistering start at Triple-A Charlotte, and the infielder homered in his first start of the season with the White Sox. However, his audition only lasted a couple weeks, and he would go on to spend most of the summer months in the minors. Despite the White Sox being in the cellar, Sosa didn't get the call for good until Aug. 18. He hit .250/.277/.438 with five home runs in 103 plate appearances from that point onward. He did not steal a single base between levels and is not much of a runner, but regardless the 24-year-old is in the running for a roster spot out of camp. While he has an option remaining, Sosa doesn't seem to have much left to prove at Triple-A, so opportunity should eventually present itself on what projects to be a second-division club.

Sitting for first game of twin bill
2BChicago White Sox
April 17, 2024
Sosa is out of the lineup for the first game of Wednesday's doubleheader with the Royals.
ANALYSIS
Sosa will likely start in the second game of the twin bill, but he'll give way to Braden Shewmake at third base in the opening contest of the day. Since Yoan Moncada (adductor) was placed on the injured list earlier this month, Sosa has settled in as Chicago's primary option at the hot corner. He had started each of the White Sox's last six games, going 3-for-23 with a pair of doubles, a walk, an RBI and two runs.

Latest Fantasy Rumors
Opportunity for playing time?
2BChicago White Sox
April 9, 2024
Sosa may have a chance at consistent playing time after Yoan Moncada suffered an adductor strain during Tuesday's game against the Guardians.
ANALYSIS
Sosa started at the keystone Tuesday but shifted over to third base once Moncada exited with the injury. The severity of the issue remains unclear, but Sosa is a strong candidate to fill in at the hot corner should Moncada miss any time. However, Sosa may need to show some improvement before fantasy managers invest, given his .572 OPS in 52 big-league games last year.
See All MLB Rumors
2023 Fantasy Outlook
Sosa broke out in 2022, going from waiver-wire fodder in most dynasty leagues to an upper-level producer who might hit enough to play every day. He hit .315/.369/.511 with 23 home runs, a 15.5 K% and 7.3 BB% in 119 games across Double-A and Triple-A as a 22-year-old. Sosa gets by more on contact ability than pitch recognition, so he will probably need to hit for a fairly high average to play regularly. He can play strong defense at second base, which is his likely fit with the White Sox. Sosa struggled in 36 MLB plate appearances, but he should get a chance to be a utility player at some point in 2023 and if he performs, he could find more playing time.
