Inside the 2026 White Sox active roster
Whether you’re tuning in on the Chicago Sports Network or catching a game in person, fully enjoying the White Sox requires knowing exactly who’s taking the field.

I’ve laid out the current 26-man active squad and Will Venable’s coaching staff below. Check it out so you can see exactly who’s driving this new era of South Side baseball.

Top White Sox players to watch
The new-look offense is highlighted by a massive offseason acquisition and a stellar homegrown talent. All eyes in Chicago are currently on Japanese infielder Munetaka Murakami, whose elite slugging profile makes him an instant, game-changing threat at the plate. He’s joined in the infield by highly touted prospect Colson Montgomery, who brings incredible upside and athleticism to the lineup.
On the pitching side, the rotation heavily features the towering left-hander Noah Schultz, a young phenom with absolutely devastating stuff. To balance out that youth, veteran right-hander Erick Fedde provides crucial stability and innings-eating experience to help guide the pitching staff through the grueling 162-game schedule.
