Now onto the News, Rumors, and Commentary…
“The Chicago White Sox have a big opportunity with the Houston Astros in town. The Astros pose an excellent opportunity for the White Sox to start off on the right foot and beat a team they could possibly face in October. Talk about a good way to start the post-All-Star break. The baseball scheduling gods did the Chicago White Sox a favor by having them open up the second half of the season with the American League West-leading Houston Astros. It wasn’t that long ago the White Sox had the best record in baseball and were thought by some to be the best team in the majors.”
” “It’s a tough walk in front of the top of the lineup, and from my perspective, I didn’t see a play that could have been made,” said White Sox manager Tony La Russa of the third-inning rally. Dylan Cease struck out two of the first three hitters in the top half of the first, followed by a Tim Anderson triple to extend his hitting streak to 13 games and a Yoán Moncada double on the first two pitches thrown by Lance McCullers Jr. You got to give him credit,” La Russa said. Jose Altuve followed with an infield single on a slow roller to Anderson, a play in which second baseman Leury García was a step slow in covering second base with the slow-footed Maldonado running.”
“10-day IL C Yasmani Grandal (torn left knee tendon) Expected return: Four to six weeks The White Sox issued the following statement July 7 concerning surgery performed on the team’s starting catcher. (Last updated: July 2) 2B Nick Madrigal (proximal tear of his right hamstring) Expected return: 2022 Madrigal had season-ending surgery, as announced by the White Sox on Tuesday through the following statement: “White Sox second baseman Nick Madrigal underwent successful surgery today to repair the proximal tendon tears in his right hamstring. His velocity is up, making a lot of good pitches,” White Sox manager Tony La Russa said. “He was [only able to go] an inning or two, and we needed the length.” July 15: Reassigned left-handed pitcher Jace Fry to Triple-A Charlotte Fry appeared in two games for the White Sox and last pitched on July 5.”
