It was a low-key week for the prospects, with Tim Elko notching a three-hit performance to highlight the group. As you’ll notice, Colson Montgomery did not appear in any action since the White Sox ended his AFL stint after 11 games. 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.
