White Sox Minor Keys: June 4, 2022
Two starts into his rehab stint with the Charlotte Knights, Lance Lynn has hit his checkpoints in terms of innings, along with the general guideline of 15 pitches per. He threw three innings and 39 pitches his first time out on May 29, followed by four and 63 on Friday.
He said he’d need three starts with the Knights to feel good about joining the rotation, and that one should feature five innings and 75 pitches. based on what he told Jeff Cohen, he’s at least healthy enough to avoid giving straight answers.
Memphis 4, Charlotte 3
- Romy Gonzalez went 1-for-5 with a strikeout.
- Eloy Jiménez DH’d, walking twice and striking out twice.
- Yolbert Sánchez went 1-for-2 with a walk and a stolen base, and also reached on catcher interference.

Call up Sosa for the next two weeks. Idgaf.
Just revisited the Fangraphs prospect blurb on him — “slow-twitch, lacking middle infielder athleticism, little power.”
I wonder if this is a sample size thing, or if anyone has seen video of Sosa looking differently than prior years. It would be very nice to have a prospect, like, progress or something.
I included some year-to-year video in my post about him. He’s definitely using his lower half more.
