As the NFL season kicked off this weekend, the Major League and Minor League baseball seasons entered their home stretch. Although a few weeks remain on the Chicago White Sox schedule, the lower levels of the minor leagues came to an end this weekend. With the Birmingham Barons also heading for the playoffs, the White Sox made a few minor league promotions, allowing some prospects to join the Barons for the playoff push. The big right-hander signed with the White Sox as an undrafted free agent in 2023 after playing his senior year of college baseball at North Dakota State. Unfortunately, the bat has never come around for Sprinkle, who has just seven home runs across four minor league seasons and has a career minor league OPS of .622.
