Nishida in Spotlight as Sox Eye MLB Debut

The White Sox are expected to call Rikuu Nishida up to the majors for today’s game against the Twins, despite him not being on the 40-man roster. The 11th‑rounder has climbed from Birmingham to Charlotte with strong on‑base skills and speed, and he’s shown defensive versatility across infield and all three outfield spots. While questions about his power and his small frame persist, his performance in the minors has earned him a big‑league look, and Chicago may need a corresponding roster move to accommodate him.
