White Sox, Nationals Promote Top Prospects For MLB Debut

The Chicago White Sox have promoted top shortstop prospect Colson Montgomery to the major leagues following a strong June performance, despite modest overall Triple-A stats. Montgomery, a 2021 first-round pick, has demonstrated significant power during a recent hot streak, earning International League AAA Player of the Week honors and a return to the top tier of White Sox prospects. Meanwhile, the Washington Nationals have also called up right-handed pitching prospect Andry Lara to serve as the 27th man for a doubleheader, with a major league debut expected soon. Lara, who has struggled somewhat in the minors but shows promise, may be transitioned to a bullpen role to maximize his effectiveness. Both teams are investing in their young talent as they integrate these prospects into their major league rosters. The Colorado Rockies also made prospect promotions, including Yanquiel Fernández, signaling a broader trend of roster refreshment with rising players.
