It was a weak week for the prospects, with Tim Elko recording three hits to highlight the group. As you’ll notice, Colson Montgomery hasn’t seen any action since the White Sox ended their 11-game stint in the AFL. The franchise was encouraged by the progress they saw, as he finished hitting .313/.511/.656 with three home runs and a 1.167 OPS in 32 at-bats.
