Chicago, IL, August 11, 2026 —
The Chicago White Sox have placed second baseman Chase Meidroth on a rest protocol to manage lingering soreness in his left wrist.
Meidroth has been dealing with the discomfort for several weeks, and the issue was exacerbated following a swing on Friday. An MRI performed on the wrist revealed no fractures and no issues with the hamate bone. He has subsequently received a cortisone shot to address the inflammation.
The team’s decision to provide additional rest comes as they approach a challenging 16-game stretch in their schedule. Management indicated a desire to be cautious and mindful of Meidroth’s condition to ensure his long-term availability and performance.
The specific timeline for Meidroth’s return to full activity was not immediately provided. Further updates on his status are expected as he progresses through the rest and recovery period.
