CHICAGO -- Oscar Colás wants to be great.

The rookie right fielder has talked about that since the offseason and has continued doing so even when the results weren’t nearly as impressive as they were during a 9-2 victory over the Yankees on Wednesday at Guaranteed Rate Field.

An abundance of talent is clearly there for the 24-year-old across all disciplines of the game. But frontline players aren’t always built instantly, or even after a month or two.

“It’s been a process,” Colás said through interpreter Billy Russo after the White Sox won for the fourth time in five games. “It has been difficult at times.

“Everybody knows this is the big leagues. Pitchers here, they don’t miss a lot. They execute, and you have to make those adjustments, too. It’s part of the process. I’m learning every day and trying to do the adjustments I need.”

Colás extended his hitting streak to five games with a second-inning home run off Luis Severino (2-7). During that span, Colás has a .316 average with two home runs, three RBIs and six runs scored.

Development of this talented left-handed hitter has not been taken lightly by the White Sox. Manager Pedro Grifol and his staff have worked with Colás on even the smallest of details, and after a rough start to his rookie year, they optioned him to Triple-A Charlotte on May 2 to focus more on the offensive and defensive process.

His big league return came on July 4. The development and tough challenges certainly have not stopped.

“When you have that desire and passion to be really good and you realize the people here really care for you and want to make you a great player, that’s a good combination, a good recipe for success,” Grifol said. “He’s doing a good job of it.

“There’s a lot going on in his mind, on top of navigating a Major League game offensively, defensively, on the bases with his primary leads, his secondary leads. We’re giving it to him pretty good, and he’s really doing a good job taking it all in and trying to apply it all on the field.”

Veteran reliever Aaron Bummer, who held the Yankees scoreless in his one inning Wednesday, sees the growth and potential for Colás.

“This is a huge two months for him,” Bummer said. “He can establish himself as a real talent in this league. There are a lot of guys in here who believe he can do that. Today was a good day for him, and hopefully he can continue to build off that.”

With 32 career home runs over 672 Minor League at-bats, the power supply clearly is there for Colás. It hasn’t translated to the White Sox yet, as his Statcast-projected 430-foot blast marked his third homer this season.

Remember, though, Colás is a work-in-progress by his own admission.

“I feel good about power,” Colás said. “I’ve been working a lot, and I know sooner rather than later the results and power are going to show up.”

Wednesday’s victory gave the White Sox (47-69) a series win over the Yankees at home for the first time since 2016 and their first season series win over them since ‘19. They won consecutive ‘23 series for the first time since June 2-4 vs. Detroit (three-game sweep) and June 6-8 at Yankee Stadium (2-1).

After a whirlwind week for an underachieving team struggling for consistency, the White Sox seem to have a different look, a different vibe moving into the final 46 contests.

“It’s been a lot of fun, a lot of fun to show up here,” said starter Mike Clevinger, who improved to 5-5 by allowing one run over six innings. “That’s something I feel like was kind of missing in the early part of the year. We’re having fun playing games, playing baseball and not looking at tomorrow or the next day or what happened two days ago.”

“All the guys we got here, we are happy to go to war together,” Bummer said. “We are going to go out there and roll with the punches and make the best of the opportunities we have.”
