The White Sox placed Eloy Jimenez on the 10-day injured list, selected veteran outfielder Robbie Grossman's contract, and designated right-hander Alex Speas for assignment. Grossman, a switch-hitter, brings a solid bat and outfield experience to the team, while Speas, known for his high-velocity pitches, struggles with command. Jimenez's injury history has limited his playing time, with the latest adductor strain adding to a series of past injuries.
The Chicago White Sox released Kevin Pillar and Mike Moustakas, while signing Robbie Grossman to a minor league deal. Gavin Sheets' chances of making the team increase with these moves, and John Brebbia's return to the bullpen is a welcome development. Chris Flexen is looking forward to competing, and Eloy Jimenez returned to the lineup after missing a game with a bruised foot.
The Texas Rangers beat the Oakland Athletics 11-3 in their finale game, completing a series win against them. Despite some disappointments from the bullpen, the Rangers are now ten games above .500 for the first time since June 2019 and have a four-game lead in the AL West. Robbie Grossman was named Player of the Game after hitting a two-run homer and contributing to an eight-run eighth inning. The Rangers will next face the NL East leading Braves at home.
