White Sox's Andrew Benintendi: Sparks ninth-inning rally
Benintendi went 1-for-1 with a stolen base and a run scored in Sunday's 6-2 win over the Tigers.
Benintendi pinch hit for Clint Frazier in the ninth inning, hitting a leadoff single and stealing second. Jake Burger capped the rally with a walk-off grand slam. Benintendi has gone 6-for-19 (.316) over his last six contests and continues to hold down a strong-side platoon role in left field. The outfielder is slashing .275/.330/.355 with seven steals, 14 RBI and 30 runs scored through 57 contests, but he's yet to hit a home run while adding 15 doubles and a triple.

White Sox's Jake Burger: Smashes walk-off grand slam
Burger went 1-for-4 with a grand slam and a walk in Sunday's 6-2 win over the Tigers.
Burger came up clutch with one out and the bases loaded in the bottom of the ninth inning. This was his second homer in his last four games, but he's seen his playing time drop off lately after holding a steady role in mid-May. The 27-year-old has hit just .209 (9-for-43) over his last 14 contests. For the season, he's at a respectable .265/.317/.606 slash line with 12 homers, 29 RBI, 22 runs scored and a stolen base through 145 plate appearances. With Yoan Moncada firmly in place as the starting third baseman, Burger's best bet for playing time remains at designated hitter.

White Sox's Liam Hendriks: Earns win Sunday
Hendriks (1-0) pitched a perfect inning and struck out two, earning the win Sunday over the Tigers.
Hendriks had some trouble in his season debut, but he's pitched perfect innings on consecutive days during the weekend series against Detroit. The 34-year-old appears to be settling in, and his usage in the ninth inning of a 2-2 game Sunday is a strong sign for him getting into high-leverage spots. He remains in search of his first save after returning from non-Hodgkin lymphoma. Hendriks will likely remain in a closer committee for a while longer -- Kendall Graveman and Joe Kelly are also part of the White Sox's late-inning mix.

White Sox's Michael Kopech: Strikes out nine Sunday
Kopech allowed two runs on three hits and a walk while striking out nine over seven innings in a no-decision versus the Tigers on Sunday.
After a bumpy 10-strikeout effort versus the Angels on Monday, Kopech was back on track with a strong start. He limited the damage to a Spencer Torkelson two-run home run in the fourth inning. This was the third time in his last four starts that Kopech went at least seven innings, and he's had at least nine strikeouts in all of those efforts. For the season, he's at a 4.33 ERA, 1.18 WHIP and 79:32 K:BB through 68.2 innings. The right-hander's 4.2 BB/9 is still concerning, but he's shown enough strikeout potential, especially recently, to garner fantasy interest. He's lined up to make his next start at home versus the Marlins.

White Sox's Yoan Moncada: Takes seat Sunday
Moncada is out of the lineup for Sunday's game against the Tigers.
Moncada started the previous five games but will head to the bench after going 1-for-17 with two walks and eight strikeouts during that stretch. Elvis Andrus will shift to the hot corner while Romy Gonzalez starts at second base.

White Sox's Andrew Benintendi: Sitting against southpaw
Benintendi is not in the lineup versus the Tigers on Sunday.
Benintendi will take a seat for the series finale against Detroit against left-hander Matthew Boyd. Clint Frazier will get the start in left and hit seventh in Benintendi's absence.

White Sox's Andrew Benintendi: Swipes sixth bag
Benintendi went 2-for-4 with a run scored and a stolen base in Saturday's 2-1 extra-inning win over the Tigers.
He had half of Chicago's hits on the afternoon and scored the game's first run after a leadoff single in the fourth inning, stealing second and then taking advantage of two wild pitches by Michael Lorenzen. In fact, all three runs on the day crossed the plate due to wild pitches. Benintendi is batting .313 (21-for-67) over his last 20 games, but he hasn't made much of an impact otherwise -- through 56 contests on the season, the 28-year-old has zero homers, six steals, 14 RBI and 29 runs.

White Sox's Dylan Cease: Stingy in no-decision
Cease didn't factor into the decision in Saturday's 2-1 extra-inning win over the Tigers, allowing one run on two hits and three walks over 5.1 innings. He struck out six.
The right-hander took a shutout into the sixth inning before Zach McKinstry tripled to lead off the frame and scored on a Cease slider that was nowhere near the plate and got away from catcher Yasmani Grandal -- part of a bizarre contest that saw all three runs in the game score on wild pitches. Cease exited after 99 pitches (62 strikes), coming just short of his sixth quality start of the year. He'll take a 4.63 ERA and 74:32 K:BB through 68 innings into his next outing, likely to come at home next weekend against the Marlins.

White Sox's Jake Burger: Stuck on bench again
Burger will remain on the bench for Saturday's game against Detroit.
Burger has hit an impressive .268/.312/.598 on the season, homering 11 times in 41 games. That earned him 14 consecutive starts in mid-to-late May, but he's now been on the bench for three straight games. His .521 OPS over his last 12 contests may have something to do with his downtick in playing time, though it's not as if Gavin Sheets' .613 OPS in his last 12 games is much better.

White Sox's Tim Anderson: Effective from leadoff spot
Anderson went 2-for-4 with a double, one RBI and one run scored Friday against the Tigers.
Anderson tallied a single and a double to reach base multiple times for the fourth time in his last seven games. In that span, he's maintained a .419 on-base percentage with six runs and three doubles. Anderson is still performing poorly overall this season with a .623 OPS, but he is locked in as the White Sox's leadoff hitter and should provide reliable contributions in runs scored and stolen bases.

White Sox's Kendall Graveman: Nabs fifth save
Graveman struck out one in a perfect inning to earn the save in Friday's 3-0 win over the Tigers.
This was the White Sox's first save situation since Liam Hendriks (illness) returned to action. Manager Pedro Grifol appears set to ease Hendriks back into action, especially after he struggled in his season debut, so Graveman's still an option for saves in the near term. The clean inning extended Graveman's scoreless streak to 12.1 innings since the start of May, a span in which he's logged all five of his saves while adding a 12:5 K:BB with just two hits allowed and two holds. The right-hander is at a 2.66 ERA, 0.93 WHIP an 24:10 K:BB over 23.2 innings this season, and he should remain in the high-leverage mix even if Hendriks begins to return to form.

White Sox's Mike Clevinger: Strong in return
Clevinger pitched five shutout innings Friday versus the Tigers, allowing three hits and a walk while striking out six in a no-decision.
Clevinger returned from a minimum-length stay on the injured list due to right wrist inflammation, and it sure didn't look like the wrist was bothering him. The right-hander threw 53 of 73 pitches for strikes, and the only thing that kept him from the win was the White Sox's late-arriving offense. Clevinger trimmed his ERA to 4.13 with a 1.39 WHIP and 46:23 K:BB over 52.1 innings through 10 starts. The key now will be to stay healthy, as he's had more than his share of injuries over the years. The 32-year-old is projected for a tough road start versus the Yankees next week.

White Sox's Elvis Andrus: Sitting Friday
Andrus isn't in the White Sox's lineup Friday against the Tigers.
Andrus was reinstated from the 10-day injured list Friday after dealing with an oblique injury, but his return to the lineup will have to wait another day. Romy Gonzalez will instead get the nod at second base and bat ninth.

White Sox's Jake Burger: Out of lineup Friday
Burger isn't starting Friday against the Tigers.
After homering in a pinch-hit opportunity Wednesday, Burger is absent from the lineup for the second straight game. Gavin Sheets will take over as Chicago's designated hitter and bat eighth.
