Arizona Fall League Update: October 3-12, 2026

The Chicago White Sox have sent a deep roster of nine prospects to the Arizona Fall League, tying with the Los Angeles Dodgers for the most Top 30 talents in the competition. Leading the charge is third baseman/shortstop/outfielder Caleb Bonemer, ranked second among White Sox prospects and 27th overall by MLB.

His offensive contributions have been notable, including a clutch two-out double in a recent loss to the Salt River Rafters and a pair of RBIs in a 5–2 defeat to the Scottsdale Scorpions, though defensive miscues—like a throwing error in the fifth inning—have also drawn attention. The team’s pitching staff has struggled with control, as five White Sox relievers combined to allow nine walks in a single game while failing to secure a victory in their first three outings.

Colby Shelton, another key prospect, has provided late-game spark with a go-ahead single in a 4–2 loss, while catcher Grant Magill made his AFL debut without a hit. The Desert Dogs’ lineup has shown flashes of promise, but inconsistent pitching and defensive lapses have kept them winless through their first five games against a mix of Braves, Dodgers, Marlins, and Pirates prospects.
