Availability
The White Sox activated Hagen Smith from the minor league injured list.
Fantasy Impact
Smith had been on IL with a shoulder impingement. He will remain in Triple-A.
White Sox LHP prospect Hagen Smith has been diagnosed with a left shoulder impingement.
Fantasy Impact
Smith will be shut down from throwing for at least the next couple of weeks. He is without a clear timetable to return.
Montgomery slashed .272/.364/.416 with a 28.7 percent strikeout rate across 34 Double-A games in 2025, then posted a 1.161 OPS over 12 Arizona Fall League appearances. He carried that momentum into spring, hitting .348 with one home run, zero walks and six strikeouts across 24 plate appearances.
Fantasy Impact
Montgomery will return to Double-A Birmingham to open the 2026 season.
The White Sox reassigned LHP Hagen Smith to minor league camp.
Fantasy Impact
Smith impressed during his time on the mound during spring training. He'll be a player worth monitoring in the minor leagues this season.
White Sox pitching prospect Hagen Smith will not break camp with the team to begin the 2026 season.
Fantasy Impact
The news is hardly a surprise, as the rebuilding White Sox surely want to be careful with their 22-year-old left-hander, who has not pitched above Double-A. He did fare well at that level, however, in 2025, when he posted a 3.57 ERA in 20 starts, albeit with a concerning 17.6% BB%, as well.
