Pirates reacquire Hunter Stratton from Braves

The Tigers trailed by a run entering the sixth inning when Dillon Dingler smacked a leadoff single and Riley Greene worked a one-out walk. Carpenter then blooped a two-run double into center just in front of the outstretched glove of a diving Tristan Peters. That proved to be the difference in the ballgame. On the season, the 28-year-old slugger is now slashing .234/.313/.497 with 10 homers and 29 RBI in 166 plate appearances.

Vierling tagged White Sox’ opener Brandon Eisert for a 408-foot (103.6-mph EV) two-run shot in the opening inning that gave the Tigers a 2-1 lead. That would be his only hit in the contest. It has been a rough season overall for the 29-year-old outfielder, slashing .201/.260/.348 with five homers and 25 RBI.

The 38-year-old hurler wasn’t messing around in this one, needing just 10 pitches (six strikes), including a strikeout of Tristan Peters to end it. Jansen has now converted seven saves on the season while posting a 4.32 ERA and a 21/9 K/BB ratio over his 16 2/3 innings of work.

The star southpaw punched out eight batters in the contest while issuing only one free pass. He served up a solo homer to Randal Grichuk in the first inning that was tucked just inside the foul pole in left. The White Sox then scratched out a run against him in fifth and Junior Perez added a solo shot in the sixth. Skubal got 13 swings and misses on 94 offerings in the ballgame, posting a strong CSW of 35 percent. He’ll try once again to earn his fourth victory as he carries a 3.02 ERA, 1.02 WHIP and a 57/8 K/BB ratio (53 2/3 innings) into Wednesday’s battle against the Yankees.

Perez collected his first career hit with a two-out single off of Tarik Skubal in the fourth inning. He was then caught trying to steal second base. The 24-year-old outfielder then broke a 2-2 tie with a 375-foot (101.6-mph EV) solo shot off of Skubal in the sixth inning. That would wind up being the extent of the White Sox’ offense though. Perez finished the night 2-for-3 and with memories that he’ll cherish for the rest of his life.

Fedde struck out four batters on the night while allowing one base on balls. The 33-year-old hurler took over with a 2-1 deficit in the second inning after Brandon Eisert got the first four outs as an opener. He then kept the Tigers off the board until a two-out, two-run double by Kerry Carpenter in the sixth inning. Fedde got 10 whiffs on 78 pitches on the night, posting a CSW of 26 percent. He’ll carry a 4.46 ERA, 1.39 WHIP and a 48/27 K/BB ratio (70 2/3 innings) into Wednesday’s matchup against the Guardians.

The club hasn’t officially placed Ohtani on the paternity list as the 31-year-old superstar is expected to return to the club before the weekend is through. They’ll play shorthanded for a day or two while Ohtani is away.

He’s considered day-to-day. Esmerlyn Valdez replaced Reynolds in Friday’s lineup in left field and he’ll bat seventh against Rockies’ left-hander Kyle Freeland.

The 33-year-old slugger made it through a live batting practice session on Thursday without any issues and is creeping closer to a return. He has been shelved since May 30 due to a Grade 1 hamstring strain.

Snell is in the process of recovering from surgery to remove bone chips from his pitching elbow. He still has plenty of his throwing progression to go through, but if all goes according to plan and he’s able to avoid setbacks, Snell could be ready to rejoin the Dodgers’ rotation shortly after the All-Star break.
