The White Sox have the best chance of beating the Dodgers in the calendar year in today’s last Camelback Ranch duel before the prospect game next week. Seeking their first win against the Dodgers since March 8, 2025, and first Spring Training win against the reigning 2025 World Series Champions, the deck is slightly stacked towards the South Siders for once.
Mike Vasil takes the mound against reliever Justin Wrobleski in what will be another rotation tryout for Vasil. His first Spring Training game
and start in February was bumpy, allowing three hits and a run in 1 ⅓ innings. Fueled by his recent three-inning, one-hit relief appearance against the lowly Rockies, Vasil should give the Dodgers and Wrobleski, who has had three quality appearances with only three hits and zero runs allowed, a challenge early in the game.
Several South Siders in the lineup will be looking to make a good impression to secure their spot on the roster before the next round of roster cuts. Luisangel Acuña is getting a few extra reps with the hopes of beating out a banged-up Brooks Baldwin for center field, while Derek Hill is just hoping to stay on the 40-man. And Tristan Peters and Curtis Mead aim to remain reliable utility bench players.
The Dodgers come in with a weaker lineup than usual. Without fixtures Shohei Ohtani, Yoshinobu Yamamoto, and Will Smith and newly-signed Edwin Díaz (all are representing their countries in the WBC), the Sox have the clearest path to splitting their Glendale series.
