2026 Projections
Signed a one-year contract with the White Sox in May of 2025. Released by the White Sox in November of 2025.
Parts ways with White Sox
The White Sox did not tender Elko (knee) a contract for 2026 on Friday, making him a free agent.
Analysis
Elko made his MLB debut in 2025 and had a .134/.194/.328 slash line in 72 plate appearances. He underwent surgery in October to repair a torn ACL in his right knee, so he'll be unavailable to begin the 2026 campaign.
