Chase Meidroth is set to make his Major League debut against the club that drafted him.
The former Boston Red Sox prospect is in the Chicago White Sox lineup for Friday's series opener at Rate Field. A fourth-round pick in 2022, he was shipped to Chicago with fellow prospects Kyle Teel, Braden Montgomery, and Wikelman Gonzalez in the blockbuster Garrett Crochet trade.
Meidroth was the No. 8 ranked prospect in Boston's system (per SoxProspects.com). The 23-year-old infielder slashed .293/.437/.401 with 105 walks and only 71 strikeouts over 122 games at Triple-A Worcester last season. Through nine games with the White Sox' Triple-A affiliate, the Charlotte Knights, he is hitting .267/.450/.600 with nine walks and five strikeouts.
