Chicago White Sox vs Texas Rangers Starting Lineup — Monday, Jul 20, 2026

Chicago has very limited history against Jacob deGrom. Chase Meidroth has the best line in the group at 2-for-3 with a 1.334 OPS, while Miguel Vargas is 1-for-3 with a 1.000 OPS. Andrew Benintendi is hitless in 3 at-bats, going 0-for-3 with a .000 OPS, and Kyle Teel is hitless in his small sample, 0-for-1 in 2 PA with a .000 OPS. Sam Antonacci, Munetaka Murakami, Colson Montgomery, Braden Montgomery, and Tristan Peters have no MLB history vs deGrom.

Texas has a bit more prior exposure to Erick Fedde, though the results are mostly modest. Brandon Nimmo is 1-for-4 with a .500 OPS, and Elias Díaz is 1-for-3 with a .666 OPS. Wyatt Langford is hitless in 6 PA, going 0-for-5 with a .167 OPS, while Jake Burger is 0-for-3 in 4 PA with a .250 OPS; Joc Pederson is 0-for-1 with a .000 OPS and Josh Jung is 0-for-4 with a .000 OPS. Ezequiel Duran, Evan Carter, and Nicky Lopez have no MLB history vs Fedde.

The Rangers appear to have more hitters with at least some familiarity against the opposing starter, even if few have done much with it. The White Sox have less overall history against deGrom, with Meidroth and Vargas standing out as the main exceptions.
