2025 Fantasy Outlook
It was easy to miss it as the White Sox trudged toward a record-breaking 121 losses -- many turned away in horror -- but Sosa finished the season in impressive fashion, slashing .373/.398/.566 with four homers in September. He spent the first half up and down between Triple-A and the majors before getting the call for good at the end of July. Sosa has made steady progress with his strikeout rate and finally had something to show for it down the stretch. The South Side will be the land of opportunity again in 2025 and Sosa should get a chance to build on what he did at the end of last season. Dual eligibility (3B, 2B) helps his case as he enters his age-25 campaign. Read Past Outlooks

Sosa is out of the lineup for Wednesday's game against the Twins.
ANALYSIS
Thanks to Josh Rojas (toe) being on the shelf all season, Sosa has taken hold of a near-everyday role in the White Sox infield, starting in 20 of the team's first 23 games. Sosa will take a seat Wednesday for just the fourth time in 2025, and unless he's used off the bench, he'll put his season-long eight-game hitting streak on hold.

Past Fantasy Outlooks
2024
2023
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.
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.

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.
