Sam Antonacci takes a seat Tuesday vs. Orioles

Sam Antonacci

CWS 2nd Baseman

Player Stats

Sam Antonacci is on the bench for Tuesday’s game against the Orioles.

Antonacci takes a seat following 10 consecutive starts in left field since June 19. The 23-year-old rookie has settled in nicely as Chicago’s top-of-the-order table-setter, hitting .291/.391/.413 with 43 runs scored, four homers, 22 RBI and 11 steals in 263 plate appearances through 65 games. He’s definitely lived up to fantasy managers’ most optimistic projections. It’ll be Kyle Teel moving up to the leadoff spot with Junior Perez in left field on Tuesday night.

Kyle Teel

CWS Catcher #8

White Sox activated C Kyle Teel (ankle) from the 10-day injured list.

Teel has been out since the end of July with an ankle sprain, and he has also missed time this season with a knee injury. The 24-year-old has hit .190/.271/.317 in 19 games this season.
Sam Antonacci

CWS 2nd Baseman #17

Sam Antonacci and Colson Montgomery are out of the lineup for Wednesday’s game against the Rangers.

Antonacci and Montgomery take a seat with lefty MacKenzie Gore toeing the rubber for Texas in this one. Luisangel Acuña is at shortstop with Tristan Peters in left field. The 23-year-old rookie will continue to cede the occasional start against a southpaw for the final months of the year. It’ll be Miguel Vargas moving up to the leadoff spot in a strange-looking lineup from Chicago manager Will Venable.
Kyle Teel

CWS Catcher #8

Kyle Teel (ankle) will begin a minor league rehab assignment at Triple-A Charlotte on Tuesday.

Teel has been shelved since the end of July due to a high ankle sprain. He should only need a couple of games there to get his timing back and could be an option to rejoin the White Sox at some point next weekend barring any setbacks.
Sam Antonacci

CWS 2nd Baseman #17

Sam Antonacci is not in Chicago’s starting lineup against the Mets on Friday.

He sits against LHP Sean Manaea. Antonacci has started against LHPs here or there — he’s not in a strict platoon — but he’s hitting .225/.326/.263 against them this year so the White Sox are doing your fantasy team a favor.
Kyle Teel

CWS Catcher #8

Kyle Teel (ankle) progressed to taking batting practice on Monday.

Teel was cleared to start a hitting progression last week and will continue to ramp up baseball activities with the hope of making it back to Chicago by early-to-mid September. He hit the injured list with a high ankle sprain back in late July.
Kyle Teel

CWS Catcher #8

Kyle Teel (ankle) progressed to hitting off a batting tee and soft flips on Wednesday.

Teel told reporters afterwards that it was his first time hitting since landing on the injured list with a high ankle sprain back in late July. The 24-year-old backstop was given a 6-12 week return timetable, which puts him back in Chicago at some pint in early-to-mid September, if everything goes according to plan with his rehabilitation process.
Chase Meidroth

CWS 2nd Baseman #10

Chase Meidroth (wrist) is out of the lineup for Tuesday’s game against the Reds.

Meidroth told reporters that he isn’t dealing with a potential hamate issue after hurting his left wrist on a swing last week. He’s out of the lineup for the second straight game with Sam Antonacci drawing another start at the keystone in his absence. It’s possible he’ll require a trip to the injured list if he isn’t showing any improvement later this week.
Sam Antonacci

CWS 2nd Baseman #17

Sam Antonacci is not in the White Sox’ starting lineup for Thursday night’s battle against the Red Sox.

Once again we see Antonacci sitting with a left-hander on the hill as he appears to be locked into a strong-side platoon role at the moment with the White Sox. Luisangel Acuna will start in his place in left field and will bat ninth against Red Sox’ southpaw Ranger Suarez on Thursday evening at Fenway Park.
Sam Antonacci

CWS 2nd Baseman #17

Sam Antonacci is not in the starting lineup on Thursday against the Yankees.

Randal Grichuk will start in left field and bat fourth, while Everson Pereira will start in center field and bat sixth. Both Antonacci and Tristan Peters will head to the bench, and both players seem to be falling into strong-side platoons. It makes some sense since Antonacci has hit .200/.288/.231 in 74 plate appearances against lefties this season.
Junior Perez

CWS Center Fielder #37

White Sox optioned OF Junior Perez to Triple-A Charlotte

The 25-year-old has gone 6-for-35 in 22 games played for the White Sox this season. There is now an open spot on the White Sox active roster, but the belief is that one of Austin Hays (calf) or Everson Pereira (concussion) will be activated from the injured list before Monday’s game against the Yankees.

Orioles recalled OF Rece Hinds from Triple-A Norfolk.

Hinds will get his first opportunity to show the Orioles what he can do at the MLB level after he was acquired from the Marlins for cash considerations in early August. The 26-year-old has gone 4-for-38 (.114) with 19 strikeouts in his time with the Marlins and Reds this season.

Orioles designated RHP Albert Suárez for assignment.

We’re all familiar with this cycle by now. The 36-year-old hurler will clear waivers, elect free agency, re-sign on a minor league deal and rejoin the Orioles’ bullpen at some point in the next couple of weeks. Suárez holds a 4.12 ERA, 1.25 WHIP and a 41/20 K/BB ratio in 59 innings with the Orioles this season.

Guardians optioned RHP Austin Peterson to Triple-A Columbus.

The 26-year-old righty made his MLB debut against the Tigers on Saturday, allowing just one hit and striking out three batters in two strong innings of work. He wasn’t going to be available on Sunday though, so the Guardians opted to swap him out for a fresh arm. He should get another chance with the big league club before September is through.

Aleman has done a nice job in 18 appearances with the Guardians this season, posting a 3.38 ERA, 1.44 WHIP and a 22/8 K/BB ratio across 18 2/3 innings of work. He’ll provide manager Stephen Vogt with a fresh arm to deploy in the middle innings. Austin Peterson was optioned to Triple-A Columbus in a corresponding move on Sunday.

With Ceddanne Rafaela (quad) landing on the injured list on Sunday, Eaton will join the Red Sox to add some outfield depth. The 29-year-old outfielder has hit just .125/.282/.281 with one homer and five RBI in 39 plate appearances at the MLB level this season.

Red Sox placed OF Ceddanne Rafaela on the 10-day injured list, retroactive to September 3, with a right quadriceps strain.

Rafaela had missed the team’s previous three games with the injury and wasn’t improving as quickly as the Red Sox had hoped, so they’ll sit him down and make sure that the injury heals properly and that he’s ready for the stretch run. Nate Eaton was recalled from Triple-A Worcester to take his place on the active roster.

Yorke has had a miserable time at the plate with the Pirates this season, slashing a cringe-inducing .212/.284/.279 with one home run and 12 RBI in 117 plate appearances. He’ll continue to serve as extra infield depth at the Triple-A level. Ronny Simon was recalled in a corresponding move on Sunday.

Myers has been hit hard during his time with the Mets this season, compiling a 6.26 ERA, 1.39 WHIP and a 33/13 K/BB ratio across 46 frames. He’ll give them another bullpen option that’s capable of working multiple innings and can continue to be ignored for fantasy purposes.
