White Sox's Jordan Leasure: Blows save, suffers loss
Rotowire
Leasure (0-2) blew the save and took the loss in Sunday's extra-inning game with the Athletics. He allowed two runs (one earned) on a hit and no walks in one-third of an inning.
Leasure was called upon to close out a 2-1 lead in the 10th inning. The Chicago reliever struck out JJ Bleday before allowing a walk-off, two-run homer on his first pitch to Luis Urias. Since the White Sox have only seven wins, it has been difficult to determine who is the team's closer. However, given the opportunity he was given in this game, Leasure still remains in the saves mix. He currently sports a 4.50 ERA, 1.80 WHIP and 14:7 K:BB across 10 innings while surrendering three homers.

White Sox's Joshua Palacios: Cracks leadoff homer
Rotowire
Palacios went 2-for-4 with a solo home run in Sunday's extra-inning loss to the Athletics.
Palacios opened the game's scoring with his first career leadoff homer, slugging it 400 feet off starter Osvaldo Bido. The 29-year-old outfielder has lately been the strong side of a platoon with veteran Michael Taylor. Overall, Palacios is now slashing .222/.317/.306 with four runs scored and three RBI over 41 plate appearances since being called up April 10.

White Sox's Davis Martin: Pitches well in bulk role
Rotowire
Martin did not factor into the decision in Sunday's extra-inning loss to the Athletics, allowing three hits and two walks over six scoreless innings. He struck out five.
After Jonathan Cannon looked sharp behind an opener Saturday, the White Sox found success again in having Martin pitch after opener Brandon Eisert. Despite generating only five whiffs, Martin looked solid and produced his first scoreless appearance of the season. With this 73-pitch effort, the Chicago right-hander lowered his season ERA from 3.95 to 3.24 across 33.1 innings. It wouldn't be surprising to see the White Sox deploy Martin in a bulk role again for his next rotation turn, which currently lines up to be against the Astros at home next weekend.

White Sox's Edgar Quero: Impressive start to career
Rotowire
Quero went 2-for-3 with an RBI, two walks and two runs scored Saturday against the Athletics.
Quero has performed well since being recalled for his big-league debut April 17, with Saturday marking his third multi-hit effort in nine starts. He's also struck out at just a 5.9 percent clip, as opposed to a 15.2 percent walk rate. While he won't remain this successful, Quero certainly doesn't look overmatched in the majors.
White Sox's Michael Taylor: Ropes three doubles in win
Rotowire
Taylor went 3-for-5 with three doubles, three RBI, and two runs scored in Saturday's 10-3 win versus the Athletics.
The veteran outfielder drew the start with left-handed Jeffrey Springs on the mound and made the most of it. Taylor notched the first three-double game in his 12-year career, hitting two off Springs and one off reliever Noah Murdock. The 34-year-old outfielder is currently in a short-side platoon role and has slashed .196/.237/.357 across 59 plate appearances.

White Sox's Luis Robert: Pops third homer, scores thrice
Rotowire
Robert went 1-for-4 with a homer, a steal, three runs scored and a walk in Saturday's 10-3 victory over the Athletics.
The White Sox center fielder opened the game's scoring when he cracked a 352-foot solo shot off starter Jeffrey Springs in the first frame. Robert also tallied his first game with three runs scored this season, marking the first time he's done that since May 7, 2023. It's been a challenging start to the season for the 27-year-old, as he's now slashing .148/.269/.273 across 106 plate appearances.

White Sox's Jonathan Cannon: Secures win in bulk role
Rotowire
Cannon (1-3) picked up the win Saturday against the Athletics, yielding three runs on six hits and two walks over 7.2 innings. He struck out five.
The Chicago right-hander looked sharp in this outing, working behind opener Tyler Gilbert, who fired a clean first inning. Cannon generated a respectable 14 whiffs out of 95 total pitches. The 24-year-old now sports a 4.50 ERA, 1.44 WHIP and 27:17 K:BB across 32 innings. Given his success pitching behind an opener, it would not be surprising to see the White Sox use Cannon in the same role for his next appearance, which currently lines up to be against the Astros at home.
White Sox's Andrew Benintendi: Not starting vs. LHP
Rotowire
Benintendi is out of the lineup for Saturday's game against the Athletics.
Benintendi's left-handed bat will step out of the starting nine Saturday with southpaw Jeffrey Springs set to toe the slab for the A's. Brooks Baldwin will start in left field with Benintendi out, and Bobby Dalbec will claim the open spot in the lineup while starting at first base.

White Sox's Nick Maton: Cast off 40-man
Rotowire
Maton was designated for assignment Saturday.
The White Sox traded for infielder Gage Workman and Maton will lose his spot on the roster as a result. Maton, 28, has hit below .175 in each of his big-league stints over the past three seasons.

White Sox's Gage Workman: Dealt across town
Rotowire
Workman was traded from the Cubs to the White Sox on Saturday in exchange for cash.
The move was done prior to Saturday's game, so it's possible Workman will be available. Nick Maton was designated for assignment to make room on the roster. The Cubs plucked Workman from the Tigers in this year's Rule 5 draft, but he was barely playing (15 plate appearances) and had a 40 percent strikeout rate. Workman, who is a good defensive infielder and can handle multiple spots, should work in a utility infielder role for the White Sox.

White Sox's Sean Burke: Stuck with loss as primary pitcher
Rotowire
Burke (1-4) took the loss Friday as the White Sox were downed 6-5 by the A's, giving up four runs (three earned) on five hits and two walks over 5.1 innings of relief. He struck out five.
Entering the game to begin the second inning behind opener Tyler Gilbert, Burke kept the A's off the board for three frames before the wheels began to fall off. The 25-year-old righty tossed 86 pitches (49 strikes) before getting the hook as he lost his fourth straight decision, a stretch in which he's stumbled to a 7.71 ERA, 1.76 WHIP and 17:11 K:BB over 21 innings. Burke will try to get back in the win column in his next trip to the mound, which lines up to come at home next week against the Brewers.
Baldwin went 2-for-4 with a two-run home run Friday against the Athletics.
Baldwin has primarily started in the corner outfield spots for the White Sox, but he slotted in at shortstop Friday with Chase Meidroth (thumb) sidelined. He popped his second homer of the season in the ninth inning against impressive closer Mason Miller, giving Baldwin his first multi-hit effort since April 11. Despite the slow stretch, he has six extra-base hits with a 108 wRC+ across 74 plate appearances.
Amaya isn't in the lineup for Friday's game against the Athletics.
Amaya has been in a notable slump at the plate recently, going 0-for-13 over his last nine games and logging just three hits since the start of April. He'll give way to Brooks Baldwin at shortstop Friday, creating an opening in the lineup for Nick Maton to serve as Chicago's DH.
