White Sox drop in power rankings after mixed results last week

The Chicago White Sox are battling for the top of the AL Central, currently holding a 3.5-game lead over the Cleveland Guardians. Last week saw them swept by the Boston Red Sox in a three-game series but rebounding to win two out of three against the Guardians. Despite the ups and downs, the White Sox's recent struggles have caused a drop in the latest power rankings from No. 9 to No. 11. They recently promoted pitching prospects Hagen Smith and Tanner McDougal, with Smith earning a win on Sunday. Upcoming matchups include facing the Cincinnati Reds followed by the Detroit Tigers.
