Overview

  • The White Sox promoted their No. 5 prospect, Colson Montgomery, from Triple-A Charlotte on July 4, opening a 40-man roster spot by designating Vinny Capra for assignment.
  • Montgomery made his debut at Coors Field, batting seventh and playing shortstop against the Colorado Rockies.
  • He saved a run early with a diving, over-the-shoulder catch in the second inning, helping preserve a 3-2 win.
  • In his first plate appearance, he reached base on catcher’s interference, the first such event by a player’s first MLB plate appearance in the Expansion Era.
  • Montgomery earned the call after a midseason swing reset in Arizona and a torrid June that earned him International League Player of the Week honors.
