White Sox Minor Keys: July 4, 2026

Caleb Bonemer commemorated the Fourth of July with his best Double-A game yet.

Granted, he was only 16 games into his Barons career, so it had to do more with the sample size than a sense of American history, but Bonemer notched his first three-hit game and two-homer game with the Barons.

He first sliced a first-pitch 96 mph fastball from Gary Gill Hill just over the right field wall for a surprise solo shot in the first ...

... then added a second homer on a front-door cutter that he smoked over the left field wall.

He mixed in a solid single to center in between. All in all, he raised his line from .255/.359/.345 to .283/.377/.467, which is a pretty good spot to be for a 20-year-old in Double-A.
