Colson Montgomery’s 2025 rookie ledger: he debuted July 4, 2025 and hit 21 home runs in 71 big-league games while primarily playing shortstop. (mlb.com) Defensively Montgomery logged 60 games at shortstop with four errors for a.982 fielding percentage, 7 defensive runs saved and a +7 Outs Above Average (OAA) in that sample, and spent this spring emphasizing throwing consistency and pregame routines with infield coach Justin Jirschele. (mlb.com) Sam Antonacci rejoined White Sox camp after the World Baseball Classic as MLB Pipeline’s No. 9 White Sox prospect, and his WBC highlights included a 403-foot home run off Nolan McLean, a five-run contribution for Team Italy and a 2-for-19 line in the tournament. (mlb.com) Antonacci was hit by pitches three times during the WBC and had been hit 39 times over his 2025 season that spanned three minor-league levels plus 19 Arizona Fall League games; he returned to Camelback Ranch and was listed to play in Spring Breakout action in the outfield. (mlb.com) A recent MLB roundup of spring injuries shows multiple openings: Pablo López underwent Tommy John surgery in February, Hunter Greene had surgery to remove elbow bone chips and Josh Hader entered camp behind schedule with shoulder capsule strain and biceps tendinitis, handing larger roles to replacements such as Mick Abel and Bryan Abreu. (mlb.com) Spring Breakout’s scale underlines why those openings matter: the event’s rosters include 54 players from MLB Pipeline’s Top 100 and feature more than 500 of the 900 players from teams’ organizational Top-30 lists across 16 matchups scheduled over four days.
