The 2022 White Sox season has not turned out like many had predicted. After winning the AL Central a season ago, the team has underperformed in 2022. Entering play on August 31, the White Sox have a record of 63-66. This is six games behind the Cleveland Guardians in the division.

Many across baseball have put much of the blame on manager Tony La Russa, but he is not all to blame. The team has had numerous injuries both in the pitching rotation and in the starting lineup.

Shortstop Tim Anderson and outfielder Eloy Jiminez, among several others, have been sidelined with injuries. These are two of the team's best players. While many want to point the finger at the manager, injuries will always take a toll on a team, and the Chicago White Sox do not have enough depth to make up for these losses.
