White Sox Make Roster Moves and Bench Players for Lack of Hustle in Losses

Chicago White Sox manager Pedro Grifol benched rookie catcher Korey Lee after he failed to run out a pop-up during a 10-0 loss to the Detroit Tigers. Lee explained that he lost sight of the ball and thought it was behind him, but Grifol benched him nonetheless, stating that it was not the type of baseball they wanted to play. The White Sox had a sloppy night overall, with questionable plays throughout the game. In other news, Luis Robert Jr. was scratched from the game due to a cramp in his right quad, and pending free agent Mike Clevinger expressed concerns about being put on waivers.

White Sox urge Oscar Colas to quiet down

The Chicago White Sox want rookie right fielder Oscar Colas to dial down his intensity level and play at a more controlled volume, as he has been struggling at the plate since returning from Triple A Charlotte. The team's focus is on helping Colas control the strike zone and avoid chasing pitches. Colas, one of the franchise's top prospects, won the right fielder's job in the offseason but was sent down in May due to his hitting performance. Left-hander Garrett Crochet also returned from his rehab assignment with shoulder inflammation, while Andrew Vaughn's bone bruise kept him out of the starting lineup for the third straight day. Joe Kelly is expected to return from the injured list soon.

White Sox's Stunning Loss to Lowly Athletics Leaves Fans in Disbelief

The Chicago White Sox suffered a disappointing 7-4 loss to the lowly Oakland Athletics, the worst team in baseball, despite facing a struggling pitching staff. The White Sox left the bases loaded in the first two innings and fell behind when Tanner Banks allowed four runs in the A's second inning. Tim Anderson's struggles continued as he went 0-for-5, and hitting coach Jose Castro was ejected defending him. The A's snapped a franchise-record streak of 19 consecutive games with nine hits or fewer. The White Sox need to win the remaining games of the series to avoid losing to the worst team in baseball.
