Lenyn Sosa Likely Headed Towards Bench Role
Chicago White Sox infielder Lenyn Sosa is unlikely to have a defensive home to begin the 2026 season. According to Mark Gonzales, Sosa could be on the roster bubble due to the fact that he doesn't have a starting spot on the roster. Last season, Sosa played 99 games at second base, while playing 42 contests at first base. He also saw a few games at third base, but is mostly being used at two positions. Chase Meidroth should have second base locked down, and Murataka Murakami figures to push Sosa out of a role at first base. The White Sox could use Sosa at third base, but they seem committed to playing Miguel Vargas there full-time. Sosa isn't exactly a reliable defender, so his bat will likely need to carry him to a roster spot. Last season, Sosa slashed .264/.293/.434 with a career-high 22 home runs and 75 RBI in 140 games. The 26-year-old is unlikely to have consistent fantasy value if he does end up in a bench role in 2026.
