Taking seat versus southpaw
Antonacci is out of the lineup for Sunday's game against the Athletics.
Análise
Antonacci will join fellow left-handed hitters Andrew Benintendi, Tristan Peters and Reese McGuire on the bench while southpaw Jeffrey Springs toes the rubber for the A's. After being called up from Triple-A Charlotte on Wednesday, Antonacci has started four straight games, going 1-for-15 with two walks, a stolen base and a run.

On base twice in debut
Antonacci went 1-for-3 with a walk and a run scored Wednesday against the Rays.
Análise
Antonacci had his contract selected Wednesday and hit fifth in the White Sox's order while playing second base. He led off the second inning with a single to record his first big-league hit, and he similarly began the ninth inning with a walk to begin a rally. Antonacci should remain a consistent presence in lineup, though he'll primarily play in left field.

Starting at second base in debut
Antonacci will start at second base and bat fifth Wednesday versus the Rays in his major-league debut.
Análise
After Antonacci received the call to the big leagues earlier Wednesday, manager Will Venable said that the 23-year-old will mostly play left field for the White Sox, Bruce Levine of 670TheScore.com reports. However, Antonacci will be making his debut at second base Wednesday while Chase Meidroth gets a day off. Antonacci slashed .313/.500/.479 at Charlotte to earn the promotion.

Receives call to majors
The White Sox selected Antonacci's contract from Triple-A Charlotte on Wednesday.
Análise
The White Sox had sent some mixed signals over the weekend regarding whether or not Antonacci would be in line for a promotion to the majors, but after further deliberation, the organization has elected to move the 23-year-old up to the big-league squad. Antonacci forced the White Sox's hand after a red-hot start to the season at Triple-A Charlotte, with whom he produced a .313/.500/.479 slash line, two home runs and five stolen bases while striking out in just 11.9 percent of his 67 plate appearances. Though Antonacci should get the chance to play regularly against right-handed pitching, it's unclear if he'll have a home at any one position or fill more of a super-utility role. He's seen the bulk of his starts in left field this season but has also received reps at all four infield spots since entering the professional ranks in 2024.
