Closers and Saves Report - Week 4 Waiver Wire

For a season chock full of bullpen changes and injuries already, this week was a slight cool down period. In other words, this would still probably have been a bigger bullpen news week during a normal season, but for this particular season, it seemed like a much-welcomed downswing. There were still depth chart changes, there were still […]

We're now a little over a sixth of the way through the 2020 MLB season and it's already shaping up to be an interesting year for freshmen players.

Too Good To Be True? Buying/Selling Hot Pitching Starts

Deeper Waiver Wire Pickups for Week 4

The 2020 season continues to move along and with it, more challenges to find deep league sleepers. Playing time situations are still a little shaky for some teams, and lineups are anything but stable as the season crosses the quarter mark. There are still some intriguing names who are being a little underlooked that can […]

Lucas Giolito Will Look To Keep Rolling On Friday

Chicago White Sox starter Lucas Giolito will face the St. Louis Cardinals in his next projected start on Friday, assuming the game is not postponed due to COVID-19. Giolito will be hoping he can take the mound, as he has been terrific across his past three starts. Over his last 19 innings, Giolito has produced […]

Alex Colome Secures Fifth Save

Chicago White Sox closer Alex Colome picked up his fifth save of the season on Wednesday versus the Detroit Tigers. Colome threw a perfect ninth inning for the save and has yet to allow a run in eight games. Colome is entrenched in the closer’s role with the White Sox and should be owned in […]

Dylan Cease Secures Third Victory

Chicago White Sox starting pitcher Dylan Cease picked up his third victory of the season on Wednesday versus the Detroit Tigers. Over six innings, Cease allowed seven hits, five runs (one earned), zero walks and struck out five hitters. Cease now owns a respectable 3.26 ERA and the White Sox will really need him to […]

Tim Anderson Shines On Wednesday

Chicago White Sox shortstop Tim Anderson went 4-for-5 with three runs scored and a RBI on Wednesday versus the Detroit Tigers. Anderson returned from a groin strain on Tuesday and hasn’t missed a beat with the bat. The shortstop fell a double short of the cycle and is now hitting .385 on the season. Anderson […]

Reynaldo Lopez Throwing Simulated Game This Week

Chicago White Sox starter Reynaldo Lopez (shoulder) is scheduled to throw a simulated game at some point in the coming days. He has already thrown several bullpen sessions, so he may be able to return to the starting rotation if the simulated game goes well. The 26-year-old only recorded two outs in his season debut […]

Yasmani Grandal Resting On Wednesday

Chicago White Sox catcher Yasmani Grandal is not in the starting lineup for Wednesday's clash with the Detroit Tigers. The 31-year-old has had an unassuming start to the 2020 season, so hopefully the rest revitalizes him. In his absence, James McCann will start behind the plate and bat fifth against Matthew Boyd and the Tigers. […]

Jose Abreu Hits A Pair Of Doubles

Chicago White Sox first baseman Jose Abreu went 3-for-4 with a pair of doubles, two runs scored and two RBI on Tuesday versus the Tigers. After exiting Monday’s game with a sore hip, Abreu was a question mark heading into to Tuesday’s game. The hip didn’t seem to both the slugger and he is now […]

End Of A Slump? Eloy Jimenez Goes Yard

Chicago White Sox outfielder Eloy Jimenez went 2-for-4 with a three-run home run on Tuesday versus the Tigers. Jimenez is one of the most hyped youngsters in the game, but has struggled early on with both his offense and defense. Jimenez is only hitting .233 with four home runs and 12 RBI, but owners should […]

Gio Gonzalez Allows Two Runs

Chicago White Sox starting pitcher Gio Gonzalez went 4 2/3 innings and allowed six hits, two runs and one walk. He also recorded two strikeouts on the evening versus the Detroit Tigers. With Michael Kopech opting out of the season and Carlos Rodon (shoulder) and Reynaldo Lopez (shoulder) sidelined, the Sox are counting on Gonzalez […]

Jose Abreu In Tuesday's Lineup

Chicago White Sox first baseman Jose Abreu (hip) is in the starting lineup on Tuesday against the Detroit Tigers. Abreu left Monday's game early with hip soreness. Thankfully, it was not a serious ailment for the 33-year-old slugger. Abreu is slashing .250/.280/.417 with three home runs and nine RBI in 72 at-bats in 2020. He […]

Leury Garcia Placed On Injured List

Chicago White Sox infielder/outfielder Leury Garcia (thumb) has been placed on the 10-day injured list with a sprained left thumb. Garcia reminded baseball fans why you don’t slide into first base and that’s how he suffered the injury Monday night. With Nick Madrigal (shoulder) sidelined and Garcia performing well, it’s a bad time for him […]

Edwin Encarnacion Returns To Lineup Tuesday

Chicago White Sox designated hitter Edwin Encarnacion (shoulder) has returned to the lineup on Tuesday versus the Tigers. The slugger was sidelined for six games with joint inflammation in left shoulder. Encarnacion had been off to a slow start, but he’s the type of hitter that can get hot in a hurry. Encarnacion should be […]

Tim Anderson Returns From Injured List

Chicago White Sox shortstop Tim Anderson (groin) has been activated from the 10-day injured list on Tuesday. Anderson was sidelined with a groin strain and missed the minimum amount of games. Anderson will return to the number one spot in the order versus the Tigers and should be owned in all formats for his power […]
