Yolmer Sanchez To Play Some Outfield
Chicago White Sox utility man Yolmer Sanchez will likely get some starts in the outfield in the near future, according to The Athletic's James Fegan. Friday's injury to Nicky Delmonico, who is expected to miss four-to-six weeks with a broken hand, will accelerate the need to get Sanchez some outfield reps. Sanchez, still only 25, […]

Carson Fulmer Demoted After Rough Outing Friday
After another miserable outing on Friday, Chicago White Sox starting pitcher Carson Fulmer has been demoted to Triple-A Charlotte. Fulmer has really struggled this season with an 8.07 ERA. The former first-round pick got plenty of opportunities to keep his spot but failed. Fulmer will need to improve his mechanics and it's likely that he […]
Tim Anderson Has Two Hits Friday
Chicago White Sox shortstop Tim Anderson was one of the lone bright spot for the Sox Friday by going 2-for-4 with a walk. Anderson had a pair of singles and scored twice. It was a much-needed game for Anderson who entered the game one for his last 16. Anderson offers pop and speed at the […]
Carson Fulmer Continues To Get Hit Hard
Chicago White Sox starting pitcher Carson Fulmer continued his struggles with another rough outing on Friday. In two innings, Fulmer allowed three hits, eight runs, five walks and struck out two batters. Fulmer is now 2-4 with an 8.07 ERA.

Yolmer Sanchez Could See Time In The Outfield
Chicago White Sox manager Rick Renteria said on Thursday that third baseman Yolmer Sanchez could see time in the outfield.

MLB Closers and Saves Targets for Week 8
Last week was a whirlwind of bullpen news, exciting performances, and disappointing outings. This week was less whirlwind and more light breeze.

James Shields Pitches Well Thursday
Chicago White Sox starting pitcher James Shields went 7 1/3 innings on Thursday. Shields allowed just three hits on one run while walking three and striking out eight batters versus the Rangers.
