Manny Banuelos Feels Great After Bullpen

Chicago White Sox starting pitcher Manny Banuelos (shoulder), who is on the injured list with a shoulder strain, felt "great" after throwing long toss and a normal 35-pitch bullpen session on Wednesday. If Banuelos doesn't require a rehab start before returning, he could come off the injured list to start against the Twins on Saturday. […]

Thyago Vieira Recalled

The Chicago White Sox recalled relief pitcher Thyago Vieira from Triple-A Charlotte on Wednesday. Relief pitcher Jose Ruiz had been optioned Tuesday. Vieira has pitched in parts of the last three seasons, compiling just 20 2/3 innings with the Seattle Mariners and the White Sox. In that time, he has a 6.10 ERA and 5.50 […]

Charlie Tilson Stays Hot

Chicago White Sox outfielder Charlie Tilson picked up two more hits on Monday to raise his batting average to .327 on the season. Tilson has been on fire since being recalled on May 6.

Buy or Sell - Undervalued and Overvalued Players for Week 8

The Waiver Wire Watch List: Week 8

As important as it is to be active on the waiver wire, snagging that next hot bat or pitcher on a roll before anyone else can, let's be honest--there are only so many roster spots. That's why your watch list is just as important as your waiver wire activity, and perhaps even more so. Throughout […]

Manny Banuelos Lands On Injured List

The Chicago White Sox placed starting pitcher Manny Banuelos (shoulder) on the 10-day injured list on Friday with a left shoulder strain and recalled reliever Jose Ruiz from Triple-A Charlotte in a corresponding move. It'll be Banuelos' 13th career trip to the injured list, which is obviously not a positive. However, both Banuelos and manager […]

Ivan Nova Gets Rocked

Chicago White Sox starting pitcher Ivan Nova had another rough outing on Friday versus the Toronto Blue Jays. Nova allowed nine runs (eight earned) on eight hits and four walks while striking out one in three innings. Nova has been disastrous this season and now owns a 7.42 ERA.
