So far, he\u2019s posted a perfect fielding percentage (1.000) and made eight putouts with one assist. <\/span><\/p>\n<p class=\"p1\"><span class=\"s2\">The idea of Antonacci playing the outfield is to expand his versatility. Shortstop Colson Montgomery and second baseman Chase Meidroth block Antonacci in the middle-infield. <\/span><\/p>\n<p class=\"p1\"><span class=\"s2\">Third base could be in play with Miguel Vargas proving to be a poor defender so far (-17 defensive runs saved). However, his bat has been solid to start the season, .263 with a double, a home run (<a href=\"https:\/\/www.chicitysports.com\/chicago-white-sox-pair-of-grand-slams-make-history\/\"><span class=\"s1\">grand slam<\/span><\/a>), and six RBI. <\/span><\/p>\n<h2><span class=\"s4\">Sam Antonacci\u2019s performance and versatility may force the Chicago White Sox to make a tough decision <\/span><\/h2>\n<figure id=\"attachment_163867\" aria-describedby=\"caption-attachment-163867\" style=\"width: 788px\" class=\"wp-caption alignleft\"><img decoding=\"async\" class=\"size-large wp-image-163867\" src=\"https:\/\/www.chicitysports.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/04\/USATSI_28630426-900x600.jpg\" alt=\"Luisangel Acuna, Chicago White Sox \" width=\"788\" height=\"525\" srcset=\"https:\/\/www.chicitysports.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/04\/USATSI_28630426-900x600.jpg 900w, https:\/\/www.chicitysports.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/04\/USATSI_28630426-768x512.jpg 768w, https:\/\/www.chicitysports.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/04\/USATSI_28630426-1536x1024.jpg 1536w, https:\/\/www.chicitysports.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/04\/USATSI_28630426-2048x1365.jpg 2048w, https:\/\/www.chicitysports.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/04\/USATSI_28630426-150x100.jpg 150w, https:\/\/www.chicitysports.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/04\/USATSI_28630426-450x300.jpg 450w, https:\/\/www.chicitysports.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/04\/USATSI_28630426-1200x800.jpg 1200w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 788px) 100vw, 788px\" \/><figcaption id=\"caption-attachment-163867\" class=\"wp-caption-text\">Mar 31, 2026; Miami, Florida, USA; Chicago White Sox center fielder Luisangel Acuna (0) celebrates with teammates after scoring against the Miami Marlins during the third inning at loanDepot Park.

Acu\u00f1a has also been terrible in center field, posting a <a href=\"https:\/\/www.baseball-reference.com\/teams\/CHW\/2026.shtml\">-71 defensive runs saved<\/a> in 19.0 innings. <\/span><\/p>\n<p class=\"p1\"><span class=\"s2\">Outfielder Everson Pereira (day-to-day with a sore ankle) has done better at the plate but struggled in the field.
