Noah Schultz – MLB Pipeline White Sox #1

Please join us in basking in the glory that is a Noah Schultz start.

Bryan Ramos – MLB Pipeline White Sox #13

Bryan Ramos was added to the White Sox roster for a day as an emergency option, but was shuttled back to Charlotte and kept up his stretch of hot hitting for the Knights.

First batter upon resumption of last night's game was Bryan Ramos, and he rips a double down to the RF corner. Rafael Ortega (PR for DeLoach) and Elko (BB) come in to score. 2-0 #Knights. #WhiteSox pic.twitter.com/fUzwMUP15v

Hagen Smith hits his pitch count 2.2 into his outing. He allows 1R on 2H. He was a bit erratic tonight with 2HBP and a 1BB. He strikes out 1 on 21S/41P. #Dash were tied at 1 when he came out, and he does not factor in the decision. #WhiteSox pic.twitter.com/RZC2dQXh0i

Hagen Smith – MLB Pipeline White Sox #3

Only expected to make one more start after this, 21-year-old southpaw Hagen Smith was a tad less crisp compared to his first outing with the Dash. Smith should finish his 2024 season with just around 100 innings pitched between both college and his brief foray in pro-ball.

Mason Adams – MLB Pipeline White Sox #8

24-year-old Mason Adams returned to the Knights rotation after a brief stint on the injured list and flashed again what made him such a high riser this season in the White Sox system.

Mason Adams made his return and it was a normal Mason start. Bad contact for the hits, no walks, and no runs. Adams goes 3 innings and allows 3H (single each inning). He strikes out 1. #Knights #WhiteSox pic.twitter.com/oHR4ByDqUt

Grant Taylor was breaking out in a major way this season before a lat strain ended his season early. He will be heading to the Arizona Fall League, which is quite exciting! https://t.co/fqmE8k7krR

Grant Taylor – MLB Pipeline White Sox #6

22-year-old Grant Taylor has been out with a lat strain since June 12, but he’s been throwing in Arizona and is expected to pick up some innings in the Arizona Fall League, which should begin in October.

George Wolkow – MLB Pipeline White Sox #7

18-year-old George Wolkow reached base seven times while sending three of his four hits for extra bases in what was a quieter week offensively for the hulking outfielder.

Colson Montgomery – MLB Pipeline White Sox #2

Colson Montgomery had a tough week at the plate after a decent previous week, which has encapsulated the teeter-totter season for the 22-year-old.

Jairo Iriarte – MLB Pipeline White Sox #5

22-year-old Jairo Iriarte was cruising along in his start against Chattanooga before the fifth inning snowballed, where four runs crossed the plate, all with two outs. Nonetheless, Iriarte was promoted to the White Sox once the rosters expanded on September 1st, and is expected to work in relief with the club.

Ky Bush – MLB Pipeline White Sox #9

Ky Bush made four starts with the White Sox in August before being optioned to Charlotte on August 26. Upon his return, Bush squared off against a pesky Nashville Sounds club with decent results and a lack of a killer mustache.

Peyton Pallette continued his untouchable run out of the bullpen. The 23-year-old made two appearances working four scoreless innings and allowed just two hits while striking out seven. Pallette did not allow a run to cross the plate on him in the entire month of August, and last allowed an earned run on July 24 (11 appearances, 22.1 innings).

Aldrin Batista – MLB Pipeline White Sox #21

Aldrin Batista added another strong outing to his dockett last week in what’s been a very promising season for the 21-year-old right-hander. Between both Kannapolis and Winston-Salem, Batista has thrown 105.2 innings with a 3.07 ERA, a 1.17 WHIP, and 110 strikeouts.

Lucas Gordon

22-year-old left-hander Lucas Gordon compiled a solid outing against the Cyclones lineup last week. Over 108 innings between Kannapolis and Winston-Salem, Gordon has a 2.33 ERA, a 1.18 WHIP, and 94 strikeouts.

Shane Murphy's start for the #Dash was what I like to call a classic Shane Murphy start. 32 pitches through 4, & 3 balls fielded by OF'ers total. Murphy w/ a 6 inning 1H shutout. He faces the minimum & K's 5 (40S/54P 74% Strikes!). He could have thrown a CG. #WhiteSox pic.twitter.com/LwfeNtRhlo

Shane Murphy

23-year-old Shane Murphy was nearly perfect over his six innings of work last week, allowing a leadoff single and nobody else to reach after.

Jarold Rosado

22-year old righty Jarold Rosado made two scoreless appearances out of the Dash bullpen last week, hurling four total innings while striking out four.

Jeral Perez – MLB Pipeline White Sox #13

Jeral Perez, acquired by the White Sox at the trade deadline, had a nice week at the plate for the Cannon Ballers. The 19-year-old infielder slashed .429/.529/.643 for a 1.172 OPS with four runs scored, two extra base hits (double, triple), and two RBI in four games played.

Carlton Perkins set his personal bests in a game in IP and K's going 5 innings and striking out 9. He allows 1R on 4H and 1BB. 53S/73P. #Ballers were tied later, and Perkins gets a ND. #WhiteSox pic.twitter.com/AHWmxrUMdX

Carlton Perkins

21-year-old right-hander Carlton Perkins had his best full season outing in his most recent start for Kannapolis. The 2023 15th rounder has seen action as both a starter and reliever in the ACL and Kannapolis this season, while most recently jumping into the Cannon Baller rotation for his last four outings.
