  • 54-32-4 1st Place
    • Outrighted to Triple-A
      Koch was outrighted to Triple-A Indianapolis on Thursday.

      Advice: Koch was designated for assignment Tuesday and went unclaimed on waivers. He'll remain in the Pirates' organization and serve as depth at catcher, though his chances of reaching the majors again in 2024 appear slim. Rotowire.com Yesterday, 9:44 pm
       
    • Smacks homer in loss
      Vaughn went 1-for-4 with a solo home run in Thursday's 14-2 loss to the Red Sox.

      Advice: Vaughn has hit safely in his last six games, going 8-for-23 (.348) in that span. He dealt with a sprained left ring finger to begin June, but it hasn't slowed him down since he was cleared to return. The first baseman is up to five homers on the year with 20 RBI, 17 runs scored, one stolen base and a .211/.275/.338 slash line through 233 plate appearances. Rotowire.com Yesterday, 9:36 pm
       
    • Struggles against Red Sox
      Woodford (0-2) allowed seven runs on 10 hits and three walks while striking out three over four innings to take the loss Thursday versus the Red Sox.

      Advice: Woodford has failed to pitch past the fifth inning in both of his starts for the White Sox so far. The Red Sox jumped on him right away Thursday, with Jarren Duran leading off the game with a solo home run. Enmanuel Valdez added a three-run shot in the fourth inning. Woodford doesn't have a great track record as a starter in the majors, but he's likely to remain in the rotation for another turn, as Mike Clevinger (elbow) will require a rehab start before returning. Woodford is lined up for a road start in Seattle next week if the White Sox give him another outing. Rotowire.com Yesterday, 9:30 pm
       
    • Doubles twice in win
      Refsnyder went 3-for-6 with two doubles and one run scored in Thursday's 14-2 win over the White Sox.

      Advice: Refsnyder got the start in right field and extended his hitting streak to nine games. In that span, he's gone 14-for-38 (.368) with five doubles and one home run. The outfielder has carried a high average all season, and he's now batting .346 through 35 contests. He's added just two homers, 14 RBI, 13 runs scored, one stolen base, 11 doubles and a triple over 116 plate appearances. Refsnyder splits his time between the corner outfield and designated hitter, and while he hasn't been limited to a true platoon role, he hasn't played on an everyday basis either.

    • Gets aboard four times in win
      Smith went 3-for-5 with two RBI, one walk and one run scored in Thursday's 14-2 win over the White Sox.

      Advice: Smith has three multi-hit efforts over his last six contests since getting a rest day last Thursday. He's also picked up at least one RBI in five of those six games. The 28-year-old is up to a .232/.321/.343 slash line with two home runs, 18 RBI, nine runs scored and no stolen bases over 112 plate appearances since he signed with Boston following his release from Tampa Bay at the start of May. Smith has settled into a strong-side platoon role at first base and played a decent part in run production without adding much else. Rotowire.com Yesterday, 9:20 pm
       
    • Hits first big-league homer
      Westbrook went 1-for-2 with a solo home run in Thursday's 14-2 win over the White Sox.

      Advice: Westbrook didn't start the contest, but he pinch hit for Tyler O'Neill in the seventh inning. That was when Westbrook hit his first major-league homer, a solo shot off reliever Jared Shuster. Over four contests, Westbrook is 2-for-5 with a walk and a hit-by-pitch. He is likely to remain in a short-side platoon role in the Boston infield until the team gets some injured players back. Rotowire.com Yesterday, 9:12 pm
       
    • Pops three-run homer
      Valdez went 1-for-6 with a three-run home run and a walk in Thursday's 14-2 win over the White Sox.

      Advice: Valdez turned the game into a romp with his fourth-inning blast. He's hit safely in his last five contests, going 7-for-20 (.350) with three homers and eight RBI in that span. The 25-year-old is slashing just .189/.218/.378 through 120 plate appearances, but he's added five homers, 19 RBI and 13 runs scored across 35 contests. Valdez remains in a starting role at second base while Vaughn Grissom (hamstring) is on the injured list. Rotowire.com Yesterday, 9:07 pm
       
    • Jake Woodford hit hard in loss to Red Sox
      Jake Woodford was obliterated for seven runs over four innings on Thursday in a loss to the Red Sox.

      Advice: The Red Sox had no trouble solving Woodford in this one as he surrender a whopping 10 hits, including a leadoff blast to Jarren Duran and a three-run homer to Enmanuel Valdez. He struck out three and also issued three walks. The White Sox don’t have a ton of alternatives to plug into their starting rotation at the moment, but it’s difficult to imagine Woodford getting another turn here.

    • Duvall hits sixth home run in win Thursday
      Adam Duvall went 1-for-4 with a two-run home against the Nationals on Thursday.

      Advice: The home run was Duvall’s sixth of the season. He’s still hitting just .195 on the year. Duvall was in a deep slump before his game-tying home run in the seventh inning. He still needs to show more at the plate if he’s going to be the everyday right fielder for the Braves in the wake of Ronald Acuna Jr.'s season-ending injury. Rotoworld Yesterday, 6:07 pm
