Miguel Gonzalez Undergoes Shoulder Surgery
Chicago White Sox starting pitcher Miguel Gonzalez (shoulder) had surgery on his shoulder Wednesday and will be out for nine to 12 months. It means Gonzalez is out for the rest of this year and most of next year. Fantasy gamers probably won't notice, though, as Gonzalez was atrocious in his three starts this year […]
Nate Jones Throwing Off Mound
Chicago White Sox relief pitcher Nate Jones (arm) is throwing off a mound on Wednesday. There remains no timetable for Jones' return, however. He had a 2.55 ERA, 1.38 WHIP and a 9.9 K/9 in 24 2/3 innings with four saves before his injury. Joakim Soria has pitched well in the ninth inning in Jones' […]

Micker Adolfo To Have Tommy John Surgery

Leury Garcia Starting in Right on Tuesday
Chicago White Sox outfielder Leury Garcia is starting in right field on Tuesday and batting sixth against the Cardinals.

Garcia is hitting .274 on the season with three home runs, 19 RBI and […]
Avisail Garcia Returns To The Disabled List
Chicago White Sox outfielder Avisail Garcia (hamstring) will return to the disabled list with a strained right hamstring.

AL-Only Waiver Wire Team of the Week: MLB Week 15
Every week in baseball, a significant player will hit the disabled list, slip into a slump, or get traded out of a good spot. How fantasy owners adapt to these situations can make or break the season as a whole. One lousy add might not hurt the long-term standing of a team, but failing to […]
Trading Up: Top-Tier Options to Buy at Each Position
As we approach fantasy-baseball trade deadlines, many owners find themselves needing to improve their team in one way or another. Owners buying a player or making a trade to get their team across the finish line are best off targeting reliable, high-ability players because of the relatively short window remaining in the season. You don't […]
Avisail Garcia Leaves Game with Hamstring Injury
Chicago White Sox outfielder Avisail Garcia was forced from the team's game on Sunday with hamstring tightness. While the severity of the injury is not yet known, it's important to note that it occurred to the same hamstring that cost Garcia two months on the DL earlier in the season. The White Sox will likely […]
Avisail Garcia Leaves Game With Hamstring Tightness
Chicago White Sox outfielder Avisail Garcia left Sunday's game against the Astros due to tightness in his right hamstring. The injury couldn't have come at a worse time for Garcia, as he had gone 13-for-32 with five home runs in July before succumbing to the injury. The most concerning aspect of this injury is that […]

Yoan Moncada Extends Hitting Streak To Six Games
Chicago White Sox second baseman Yoan Moncada picked up a pair of singles on Saturday versus the Astros to extend his hitting streak to six games.

James Shields Coughs Up Eight Earned Runs Saturday
Chicago White Sox starting pitcher James Shields labored through 5 2/3 innings while giving up eight earned runs in a 12-6 loss to the Houston Astros.

Chicago White Sox shortstop Tim Anderson (forearm) is back in the starting lineup on Saturday after sitting out Friday after he was hit by a pitch on Thursday.

Week 15 Waiver Wire: H2H Category Streamers
I like to consider myself a pioneer of the streaming approach. I won a league about seven years ago completely ignoring saves and just stacking up the starts each week. While streaming is undoubtedly more directly associated with pitching, there's plenty of value in streaming for offense as well. Maybe you have a stacked roster […]
