New faces
Outfielder/third baseman Ryan Cordell came from the Brewers in a trade for Anthony Swarzak last July, but he didn't play for the White Sox afterward because he had fractured a vertebrae in his neck a month earlier. Chicago also added righty reliever Thyago Vieira, whose fastball has reached 103 mph, in a November deal with the Mariners for international bonus money.
On the shelf
Three of the White Sox's top four prospects -- all Top 100 guys -- will open the season on Minor League disabled lists. Outfielder Eloy Jimenez (left pectoral muscle) should join Double-A Birmingham sometime next week, while right-hander Alec Hansen (forearm soreness) will need more time before joining the Barons as he builds up arm strength after getting sidelined early in Spring Training. Hansen led the Minors with 191 strikeouts in 2017. Robert (sprained left thumb) will be out until May. Additionally, righty Zack Burdi is on the Triple-A Charlotte DL as he continues his recovery from Tommy John surgery last July.
