2025 Fantasy Outlook
Meidroth may not have gotten a shot at all in Boston in 2025, but after getting dealt this winter to the White Sox in the Garrett Crochet trade, he has a path to spending the entire season as a big-league regular. Public projection systems project Meidroth as one of the best hitters on Chicago's entire roster on a per-plate appearance basis, and Andrew Vaughn is the only infielder who is assured of everyday playing time. Meidroth is eligible at shortstop to start the year, but his two best positions are second base and third base, so he could add eligibility at one or two spots during the season. Unfortunately for fantasy purposes, power and speed are Meidroth's weakest tools, so he'll need to be playing every day to provide the necessary counting stats. He has a very good eye at the plate and a short swing, which results in very low strikeout rates (12.7 K% at Triple-A) and little power (ISO below .125 at High-A, Double-A and Triple-A). A strong batting average/on-base percentage and respectable runs totals via a high spot in the lineup are Meidroth's most realistic paths to providing fantasy value. Read Past Outlooks

Thumb
April 21, 2025
The White Sox placed Meidroth on the 10-day injured list Monday with right thumb inflammation.
ANALYSIS
Meidroth had to be scratched from Sunday's lineup due to the injury. He revealed Monday that it's something he's been dealing with for a few weeks, dating back to when he was still at Triple-A Charlotte, per Scott Merkin of MLB.com. It's unclear how long he might be sidelined. Chicago is likely to use Jacob Amaya and Lenyn Sosa as its primary middle infielders while Meidroth is sidelined.
