Player Outlook
Paul DeJong struggled mightily in 2023 while bouncing between three organization, hitting just .207 with a .612 OPS in 400 plate appearances with the Cardinals, Blue Jays and Giants. The veteran shortstop signed a one-year deal with the White Sox in November where he'll battle Nicky Lopez and Braden Shewmake for the starting role. The bat seems to be waning each year for DeJong, but he remains a solid defensive shortstop who ultimately may just be keeping the spot warm for top prospect Colson Montgomery's inevitable callup in 2024.

  • White Sox's Paul DeJong: Absent from lineup

  • White Sox's Paul DeJong: Smacks 17th homer

    Rotowire
    DeJong went 1-for-4 with a solo home run in Monday's extra-inning loss against the Rangers. DeJong managed his second homer of the month and 17th of the season Monday. However, he has slumped significantly in July, hitting .163 with a 31.5 percent strikeout rate across 15 games. DeJong also has the potential to slip into a part-time role due to the promotion of Brooks Baldwin, though he has still managed to start three of the last four games in a split between shortstop and third base.

  • White Sox's Paul DeJong: Out of Sunday's lineup

    Rotowire
    DeJong is not in the lineup for Sunday's game against the Royals. DeJong started the previous 12 games but will sit Sunday after he posted a .143 average and 32.6 percent strikeout rate during that span. The veteran shortstop has made just one of his past four starts at the position, as he's seen more action at third base of late while Nicky Lopez works more at shortstop. DeJong is a prime candidate to be traded ahead of the July 30 deadline, but he's hurting his trade value with a .442 OPS this month.

  • White Sox's Paul DeJong: Drawing start at third base

    Rotowire
    DeJong will start at third base and bat seventh in the first game of Wednesday's doubleheader against the Twins. DeJong played plenty of third base in the minors, but he'll be making his first start at the hot corner at the major-league level. Meanwhile, Nicky Lopez is at shortstop and Lenyn Sosa is at second base. Seemingly, the shakeup is tied to Yoan Moncada (adductor) beginning a rehab assignment this week, as Sosa could see more reps at second base once Moncada returns from the 60-day injured list.

  • White Sox's Paul DeJong: Smacks two-run homer

    Rotowire
    DeJong went 1-for-4 with a two-run home run during Thursday's 8-4 loss to the Guardians. DeJong took Ben Lively yard in the sixth inning, bringing Gavin Sheets around to score. DeJong is up to 16 home runs on the year and owns a .219 ISO, his best tally since 2017. The veteran shortstop is 9-for-35 (.257) with a pair of homers, six RBI and five runs scored over his last nine games.

  • White Sox's Paul DeJong: Receiving breather

    Rotowire
    DeJong is out of the lineup for Wednesday's game against the Guardians. The 30-year-old will get the night off Wednesday after making 11 consecutive starts at shortstop. Nicky Lopez will fill in for DeJong at short while Danny Mendick plays second base. DeJong owns a .731 OPS with 15 home runs across 290 plate appearances.

  • White Sox's Paul DeJong: Homers, drives in three in win

    Rotowire
    DeJong went 2-for-4 with a home run, three RBI and two runs scored in Saturday's 11-3 win over the Rockies. DeJong gave the White Sox the lead on a two-run home run in the sixth and added an RBI single and a run scored in the eighth. This was the shortstop's second multi-hit game in a row, and he is now tied for second at the position in home runs on the season with 15. The 30-year-old is also hitting .241 with 34 RBI and 33 runs scored over 280 plate appearances in 2024.

  • White Sox's Paul DeJong: Getting maintenance day

    Rotowire
    DeJong is out of the lineup for Thursday's game against the Astros. He'll receive a breather for the day game after a night game, opening up a turn at shortstop for Nicky Lopez. DeJong had started each of the White Sox's previous 21 games and was one of the team's most productive hitters over that stretch, batting .235 with 11 extra-base hits (seven home runs, four doubles), 12 RBI and 10 runs.

  • White Sox's Paul DeJong: Homer, two hits in win

    Rotowire
    DeJong went 2-for-5 with a solo home run in Saturday's win over the Diamondbacks. DeJong put the White Sox ahead with a leadoff home run in the top of the fourth and added a single in the following frame, giving him his second straight multi-hit game. The shortstop is now up to 14 home runs on the campaign, with six of them coming this month and four coming over his last eight games. DeJong has also recorded multiple hits in six of his last nine contests.

  • White Sox's Paul DeJong: Keeps mashing

    Rotowire
    DeJong went 2-for-3 with a double and a three-run home run during Sunday's 6-4 loss to the Red Sox in 10 innings. DeJong has been on a tear across the White Sox's last three series, launching five homers in nine games, and Sunday's multi-hit performance was his fourth during that stretch. The veteran shortstop is amidst a bit of a career revival during his first season in Chicago, slashing .238/.287/.482 -- each mark of which would be his best since 2020.

  • White Sox's Paul DeJong: Four homers in eight starts

    Rotowire
    DeJong went 2-for-4 with a solo home run Saturday against the Red Sox. DeJong provided some insurance with a home run in the seventh inning, his 11th of the season and fourth in his last eight starts. He has only seven total hits in that span, illustrating his dependence on the long ball to provide any fantasy value. Overall, DeJong is hitting .234/284/.463 across 204 plate appearances on the campaign.

  • White Sox's Paul DeJong: Pops 10th homer

    Rotowire
    DeJong went 1-for-4 with a solo home run in Wednesday's 7-6 loss to the Cubs. DeJong is hitting for power with three homers over his last five contests, though he's gone a modest 4-for-18 in that span. The shortstop is up to 10 long balls this season, just four shy of matching his total from 112 contests in 2023. DeJong has added a .226/.276/.446 slash line, 21 RBI, 23 runs scored and two stolen bases over 56 games. He's not a particularly well-rounded hitter, but he's done enough to maintain a starting job.

  • White Sox's Paul DeJong: Heating back up

    Rotowire
    DeJong went 1-for-4 with a solo home run and two RBI on Sunday against the Brewers. DeJong began the day with a sacrifice fly in the first inning and popped a leadoff homer three frames later. He went deep four times in a 12-game span through mid-May and has now gone yard twice in the last three games. DeJong has a 34.2 percent strikeout rate across 184 plate appearances this season, which will prevent consistent production, but he's hit .245 with a .766 OPS and six home runs since the start of May.

  • White Sox's Paul DeJong: Two extra-base hits

    Rotowire
    DeJong went 2-for-4 with a solo home run and a double Friday against the Brewers. DeJong led off the third inning with a solo home run, his eighth long ball of the season and first since May 20. In the 10 games since, he's hit just .182 with a 35.1 percent strikeout rate. Nevertheless, DeJong is locked into a near everyday role at shortstop and has maintained .202 ISO with a 103 wRC+ across 176 plate appearances on the campaign.

  • White Sox's Paul DeJong: Gets rest Sunday

    Rotowire
    DeJong is out of the lineup for Sunday's series finale against the Orioles. DeJong will take a seat Sunday after playing in the first three games of the series, going 2-for-10 with two RBI while striking out five times. Zach Remillard will start at shortstop Sunday and bat eighth against Orioles right-hander Kyle Bradish.

  • White Sox's Paul DeJong: Homers, steals base in loss

    Rotowire
    DeJong went 3-for-4 with a homer, a stolen base, two RBI and two runs scored in Monday's loss to Toronto. DeJong cracked his seventh home run of the season in the fourth inning, hitting it 402 feet to center. The Chicago shortstop has enjoyed a hot start to May, hitting .288 (17-for-59) with four homers, 12 runs scored and eight RBI this month. Overall, DeJong is slashing .246/.295/.462 in 139 plate appearances while playing shortstop every day for the White Sox.

  • White Sox's Paul DeJong: Idle for first game

    Rotowire
    DeJong is out of the lineup for the first game of a doubleheader against the Nationals on Tuesday. The 30-year-old will give way to Braden Shewmake at shortstop. DeJong will likely re-enter the lineup for the nightcap with a southpaw (Mitchell Parker) set to start for the Nationals.

  • White Sox's Paul DeJong: Goes deep again Wednesday

    Rotowire
    DeJong went 2-for-4 with a two-run home run and an additional run in Wednesday's 4-1 victory versus the Rays. DeJong accounted for half of Chicago's runs with his two-run blast to left field in the fifth inning. It was the second straight contest with a long ball for the veteran shortstop following a 16-game homerless drought. DeJong has multiple hits in three of his past four games and has gone 6-for-15 with four RBI, five runs and four extra-base hits over that stretch.

  • White Sox's Paul DeJong: Pops fourth homer

    Rotowire
    DeJong went 2-for-3 with a solo home run in Tuesday's 5-1 loss to the Rays. The veteran shortstop snapped a 16-game homer drought with his seventh-inning shot off Zach Eflin, but it was all the offense the White Sox could muster. DeJong had a brutal start to the season, but has begun to provide some consistent production over the last couple weeks, batting .263 (10-for-38) over his last 11 contests with three doubles, four RBI and six runs, but his 1:13 BB:K over that stretch highlights how quickly even that moderate level of success could evaporate. On the season, DeJong is slashing .228/.276/.435 with four homers and eight RBI.

  • White Sox's Paul DeJong: Out of Sunday's lineup

    Rotowire
    DeJong is not in the lineup for Sunday's game versus Tampa Bay. DeJong started the previous six contests but will take a seat Sunday after he went 3-for-22 with 11 strikeouts during that stretch. Braden Shewmake will start at shortstop and bat ninth.
