Colas is likely to begin the 2024 season with Triple-A Charlotte, Scott Merkin of MLB.com reports.
Analysis: Colas earned the starting right field job for the White Sox to begin the 2023 season, though he posted just a 53 wRC+ across 263 plate appearances on the campaign. He was also demoted to Charlotte from early May to early July, and once again from mid-September to the close of the season. If Colas returns to the minors to start 2024, Gavin Sheets and potentially the newly signed Kevin Pillar would factor into the mix in right field.
Oscar Colas Demoted to Triple-A again
The White Sox optioned Colas to Triple-A Charlotte on Monday.
Analysis: Colas has now been sent down to the minors for the second time this season, as he was also optioned back in early May following a slow start to the campaign. Colas slashed just .219/.253/.331 in 50 games after being recalled in early July and is hitting only .216/.257/.314 overall in his rookie campaign. Gavin Sheets and Trayce Thompson are likely to form a platoon in right field with Colas headed back to Triple-A.
