After wearing out Triple-A pitching for over a month, Tim Elko is getting an opportunity in the big leagues. The Chicago White Sox reportedly will call up the former Ole Miss standout prior to Saturday’s game against Miami at Rate Field. Elko was hitting .348 with 10 homers at Charlotte. The 26-year-old first baseman/DH carries a .293 career average with 61 homers in 325 minor league games since the ChiSox drafted him in the 10th round in 2022. He hit 46 homers at Ole Miss over his five seasons, capping his career with a College World Series championship. The White Sox, coming off an awful 2024 season (40-121, worst in the modern era), are again at the bottom of the American League at 10-28; they are 29th in MLB in hitting, 28th in scoring and tied for 27th in home runs. Their hitting coach is Louisville native and ex-big leaguer Marcus Thames, who is not to blame for the lack of talent on the roster.
