The minor league baseball regular season has come to an end, but the work continued for several White Sox prospects in 2026. The team sent a handful of players to participate in the Arizona Fall League, where they got the opportunity to continue their seasons and get more reps in. With the fall league season set to wrap up and the focus about to shift to 2027, a couple White Sox players were recognized for their strong performances in the Fall League with an appearance in the Fall Stars game Sunday evening. One player is firmly on the radar for White Sox, and the other is a name you may not know.
IF/OF Caleb Bonemer
Not only one of the top two prospects in the White Sox organization, but one of the top handful of prospects in all of baseball, Bonemer slugged his way to a 37-homer season in 2026 after proving himself a well-rounded hitter in 2025. The biggest question facing Bonemer moving forward is his defensive position relative to the White Sox needs. Though he was drafted as a shortstop, he spent the majority of the season playing third base, a position occupied by breakout star Miguel Vargas at the big league level. Because of this, Bonemer began playing outfield over the final few weeks of the regular season, and was sent to Arizona for the fall league primarily to get more comfortable in the outfield. The position change didn’t seem to affect much offensively, as Bonemer hit .286 with three home runs and a .996 OPS in 13 AFL games, earning him an All-Star nod.
The uncertainty of the 2027 season due to the lockout leaves Bonemer’s immediate future up in the air, but he has yet to be added to the 40-man roster, so he’ll be able to participate in minor league games even if they big league season is cancelled or delayed, and he figures to be squarely in the mix for a big league call-up as soon as major league games are played again.

RHP Jonathan Clark
Unlike Bonemer, righty Jonathan Clark wasn’t a highly-touted prospect in the White Sox organization. In fact, he didn’t sign with the team until February of 2025 and didn’t make his pro debut until age 25. Clark had an impressive first pro season, posting a 1.93 ERA in 41 relief appearances between Kannapolis and Winston-Salem in 2025. He reached Double-A in 2026 but his numbers weren’t as strong, and the White Sox sent him to Arizona to get him some extra work this fall. Clark’s stuff looked impressive this fall, and he fanned 13 hitters in just 8.1 innings in relief, earning him a nod to the Fall Stars game. He’ll be 27 in June, so the White Sox would love to see him perform against older competition in the upper levels of the minor leagues this year, but Clark will be a name to keep an eye on as someone who can factor into the team’s bullpen mix in the next couple years. Tyler Davis’s big league call-up and moderate success in 2026 can serve as an example of why pedigree doesn’t always matter.
