Braden Montgomery Heating Up After Two-Homer Game
Chicago White Sox outfield prospect Braden Montgomery belted a pair of home runs on Sunday at Double-A Birmingham, breaking a 3-for-26 (.115) slump. Chicago's top-ranked prospect hit a home run in his first game of the season, but went into a seven-game slump immediately after, and hopefully Sunday's two-home run effort is a sign he's about to break out of that funk. Despite the poor hitting results, the switch-hitter has been getting on base with a strong 18.6 percent walk rate thus far, a trait he displayed throughout 2025. The former first-round draft pick climbed from Single-A to Double-A in 2025, hitting well at each stop and producing a .270/.360/.444 slash line with 12 home runs, 14 steals, and an 11.0 percent walk rate in 121 games overall. The 22-year-old could see a late-season call-up, but before that, he'll need to keep hitting and earn a promotion to Triple-A, so, for now, he is not a stash candidate in redraft leagues.
