Man oh man. It's gonna be a long, long summer for White Sox fans. Benintendi's start to his $75M contract is really just the final kick in the teeth to the disaster. They might need to try to trade for/acquire some journeyman bats just to keep from losing 125 games. OTOH they traded away, like, 50 ...

Rojas now at .264/.328 and 6 SBs, which, if sustained, is more than enough to keep his job, given his defense.

Well, last week I thought Dominguez was the weakest link in the bullpen. Now I'm switching to Soto.

They also need to PAY THE MAN.

At this point he's going to be the #1 starter in free agency following the 2025 season.

Oh look. More Whit Merrifield.

Subtract the 3-homer game and Harper's numbers are ... not great.

Wheeler will be fine.

Dominguez worries me. Right now, though, he's like our 7th best reliever, so I'm glad the bullpen is deep.

That'll help Trea's slugging percentage!

Trea very quietly with a nice .358 OBP.
Would like to see more XBH though. His OBP is higher than his slugging.

Prior to today’s game, the Phillies returned RHP Orion Kerkering from his rehab assignment with Clearwater (A) and reinstated him from the 15-day injured list. To make room for him on the 26-man roster, RHP Nick Nelson was optioned to Lehigh Valley (AAA) after yesterday’s game.
