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

May 9, 2025
Meidroth was scratched from the lineup ahead of Friday's game against Miami due to right shoulder soreness.
ANALYSIS
The White Sox are labeling Meidroth as day-to-day, so it doesn't seem like he's at risk of missing an extended amount of time. Jacob Amaya replaced Meidroth in the lineup Friday and would be the likely choice to start at shortstop if Meidroth needs to sit out any more games.
