Colson Montgomery – MLB Pipeline White Sox #3

Colson Montgomery had a strong second week of the AFL season, appearing in four games for the Desert Dogs. Through eight total games in the early going of the AFL season, the 22-year-old has walked nine times (to just one strikeout) and is 4-for-4 on stolen bases.

nice to see Colson Montgomery (#61 at xwb) get into one here today at the AFL. still the 3B of the future for the CWS with plus OBP skills. definitely worth making an offer this offseason to price check in dynasty. pic.twitter.com/Kj96mrWbPK

Michael Turner is 2-2, as he smacks the ball back to the pitcher and it's launched into the air. Nathan Church (#Cardinals, 1B) comes in to score. 4-1 #DesertDogs. #WhiteSox pic.twitter.com/c9j9o5QcFU

Michael Turner

26-year-old catcher Michael Turner continued to make the most of his limited plate appearances, notching five hits in nine at-bats across two games. Turner also walked once while not striking out and has been quite steady behind the dish for the Desert Dogs.

Tim Elko

Tim Elko sent three of his five hits last week for extra bases and is tied for the team lead in home runs (three), but also struck out seven times in 14 at-bats last week (three games played).

Did Tim Elko hit a HR today? Yes. Yes he did. It's his 3rd in the AFL. #DesertDogs tied at 1. #WhiteSox pic.twitter.com/VV0O3pnhN2

DJ Gladney

23-year-old DJ Gladney had three hits in 10 at-bats last week while appearing in three games, but did strike out six times within that span.

Grant Taylor – MLB Pipeline White Sox #6

Grant Taylor flashed his premium stuff while some defensive miscues behind him may have impacted the 22-year-old’s final line more than you’d like.

Peyton Pallette didn't allow a whole lot of hard contact in his outing. He came in with bases loaded 1 out and allowed a few inherited runners to score on a softly hit grounder single/E7 and a sac fly. He allows 1H & 1BB, and strikes out 2 in his 1.2 IP. #DesertDogs #WhiteSox pic.twitter.com/Xz6VnBfaXe

Peyton Pallette – MLB Pipeline White Sox #27

After a rude introduction to the AFL last week, Peyton Pallette had a nice bounce-back outing for the Desert Dogs last week.

Eric Adler

24-year-old Eric Adler made two appearances last week, the first of which was more of a clunker than his second outing, which happened to be a multi-inning scoreless affair.

Drew Dalquist was lights out this year in the White Sox organization!

He spent his entire season in Double-A and threw 47 innings with 52 strikeouts and a 3.06 ERA!

Drew spent his offseason with us with the intention of prepping for a big year ahead. Keep crushing it Drew! pic.twitter.com/2PQzSGO0YN

Andrew Dalquist made one appearance last week for Glendale, allowing a couple hits and a run.

Anthony Hoopii-Tuionetoa

24-year-old Anthony Hoopii-Tuionetoa had a scoreless multi-inning outing last week out of the Desert Dogs bullpen.
