White Sox's Chase Meidroth: Belts second homer
Rotowire
Meidroth went 2-for-5 with a solo home run and an additional run in a loss to the Angels on Tuesday.
Meidroth brought the White Sox to within a run with a seventh-inning solo shot, but that was the final tally by either team in the contest.

However, he's been pretty decent at getting on base, logging a .269/.342/.369 slash line along with 21 runs scored, five RBI and one stolen base through 34 games. Meidroth is working on a six-game hitting streak.

White Sox's Chase Meidroth: Day off Monday
Rotowire
Meidroth is not in the starting lineup for Monday's game against the Marlins.
With Meidroth getting the day off from the starting nine, Miguel Vargas will bat leadoff and play first base. Lenyn Sosa is getting the start at second base and batting fifth, while cleanup hitter Colson Montgomery kicks over to third base. Luisangel Acuna is batting ninth and playing shortstop. Through three games to begin the season, Meidroth is 3-for-10 at the plate with one double, one home run, one RBI, two runs scored and a 3:3 BB:K.
Meidroth went 1-for-2 with two walks and a solo home run Thursday against the Brewers.
Meidroth was one of the few bright spots for the White Sox in a blowout loss. He led off the game with his first home run of the season and also continued to showcase his ability to get on base after posting a .418 on-base percentage across 52 at-bats this spring. Meidroth led off against righty Jacob Misiorowski, and the middle infielder's skill set suggests he should continue to hit toward the top of the order and play nearly every day.
