You can get the part of the string from its beginning to the first whitespace and apply your solution to that part of the string:

re.sub('([A-Z][a-z]+)', r' \1', re.sub('([A-Z]+)', r' \1', text.split()[0])).split()

See the Python demo, and the following demo below:

import re
l = ['CubsWhite Sox', 'YankeesMets']
for s in l:
    print(f"Processing {s}")
    first = s.split()[0]
    result = re.sub('([A-Z][a-z]+)', r' \1', re.sub('([A-Z]+)', r' \1', first)).split()
    print(result)

Output:

Processing CubsWhite Sox
['Cubs', 'White']
Processing YankeesMets
['Yankees', 'Mets']
