White Sox look to minor league prospects to secure AL Central title
Summary

The Chicago White Sox are utilizing September roster expansions to integrate high-potential prospects into their pursuit of an American League Central division title. Rather than using the final month for player evaluations, the team aims to add immediate depth to the active roster to assist manager Will Venable in winning high-stakes games. Catcher Kyle Teel represents a primary candidate for a call-up, as he continues a rehab assignment following a high ankle sprain. Pitchers Drew Thorpe, David Sandlin, and Jairo Iriarte are also identified as potential contributors to bolster the bullpen and starting staff during the season's final stretch. The organization recently added veteran Tommy Pham to provide clubhouse experience, but the success of the current roster push may hinge on the performance of these internal reinforcements.
