Chicago White Sox' 2023 Projected Starting Lineup, Pitching Rotation, Bullpen

The Chicago White Sox added Andrew Benintendi and Mike Clevinger to their roster over the winter. Here's a look at our projected starting lineup, pitching rotation and bullpen for the White Sox for the 2023 MLB season.

The Chicago White Sox are less than two months away from Opening Day.

The White Sox signed free agents Andrew Benintendi and Mike Clevinger over the offseason. Clevinger's status for the season however is in question, as he is currently being investigated following claims of domestic violence and child abuse from the mother of his child. The White Sox also said goodbye to 2020 American League MVP Jose Abreu, who signed a three-year deal with the Houston Astros.

Here's a look at our projected starting lineup, pitching rotation and bullpen for the White Sox in 2023, featuring 2022 slash lines and statistics:

C Yasmani Grandal .202/.301/.570

1B Andrew Vaughn .271/.321/.750

2B Elvis Andrus .271/.309/.773

3B Yoan Moncada .212/.273/.626
