Rotoworld Player News

Davis Martin

CWS Starting Pitcher #65

Davis Martin said his right calf caused him to leave his start Sunday against the Tigers.

Martin said he’s been dealing with the calf since April, but that it was more of a problem tonight because rain led to an unstable pitching mound. He said he’ll be fine to make his next start.
Sam Antonacci

CWS 2nd Baseman #17

Sam Antonacci went 2-for-4 with a two-run double Sunday as the White Sox topped the Tigers 8-1.

Antonacci has been stuck on eight homers since July 29, but his OPS has held up nicely at .754. He has been sitting against lefties of late and the White Sox are slated to face three in their final six games, so he’s not a great final-week option in shallow leagues.
Davis Martin

CWS Starting Pitcher #65

Davis Martin threw 4 1/3 scoreless innings and struck out six before departing Sunday against the Tigers.

Though the White Sox had a 4-0 lead, they employed a very quick hook with Martin today. Part of the reasoning is that they’re looking at an off day Monday. Martin has allowed just two earned runs over 20 1/3 innings in his last four outings, though the previous three of those all turned into White Sox losses anyway. They did win today, but since he didn’t complete five innings, Martin couldn’t get the credit. Martin should be worth using in mixed leagues with a home start against the Rockies on the schedule for next weekend.
Tristan Peters

CWS Center Fielder #29

Tristan Peters pinch-ran and played the final inning in left field Sunday against the Tigers.

Peters isn’t 100 percent, but he decided he was ready to participate today. He still hasn’t hit since running into the wall Friday and hurting his shoulder, so he should still be considered day-to-day.
Chris Murphy

CWS Relief Pitcher #38

White Sox optioned LHP Chris Murphy to Triple-A Charlotte.

With Huáscar Brazoban rejoining the White Sox’ bullpen on Sunday, someone needed to get the boot to clear a spot and it looks like Murphy drew the short straw this time around. The 28-year-old left-hander has registered a 4.81 ERA, 1.43 WHIP and a 35/16 K/BB ratio over 33 2/3 innings in 33 appearances for the White Sox this season.
Huascar Brazobán

CWS Relief Pitcher #50

White Sox activated RHP Huáscar Brazoban from the 15-day injured list.

Brazoban had been sidelined since late August due to a left lat strain. Prior to landing on the injured list, the 36-year-old righty had posted a 3.16 ERA, 1.13 WHIP and a 54/29 K/BB ratio over 62 2/3 innings between the Mets and White Sox, though he struggled to a 6.30 ERA in his 10 appearances since joining the White Sox. Chris Murphy was optioned to Triple-A Charlotte in a corresponding move on Sunday.
Tristan Peters

CWS Center Fielder #29

Tristan Peters (shoulder) remains out of the White Sox’ starting lineup for Sunday’s series finale against the Tigers.

Peters suffered a bruised left shoulder after colliding with the outfield wall during Friday’s contest. He sat out Saturday’s game as a precautionary measure and will get an extra day on Sunday as well. It’s possible that he could be available off the bench if needed on Sunday afternoon. Braden Montgomery will start in his place in right field and will bat ninth against Tigers’ right-hander Troy Melton.
Miguel Vargas

CWS 3rd Baseman #20

Miguel Vargas hit his 33rd homer, walked twice and stole his 20th base Saturday in the White Sox’s 3-1 win over the Tigers.

Vargas walked and stole second base before coming around to score on teammate Munetaka Murakami’s RBI single in the opening frame. He also provided a pivotal insurance run when he took Jackson Jobe deep in the sixth. The 26-year-old former top prospect’s impressive breakthrough campaign sees him join Pete Crow-Armstrong, James Wood and CJ Abrams as the fourth member of the 30-homer, 20-steal club this season.
Sean Burke

CWS Starting Pitcher #59

Sean Burke limited the Tigers to one run in six innings and earned his 10th win Saturday.

Back starting today after working behind an opener Monday, Burke had another successful outing, even though his velocity was down; he averaged 95.8 mph with his fastball last time out and was at 94.9 mph for the season, but he came in at just 93.7 mph today. It’s a bit concerning, but given that he faces the Rockies at home next week, he still looks like a nice play in mixed leagues.
Noah Schultz

CWS Starting Pitcher #76

Noah Schultz earned his first hold by recording four strikeouts in 1 2/3 scoreless innings Saturday against the Tigers.

This was impressive. Schultz threw first-pitch strikes to all eight batters he faced, and while he did give up a couple of hits, they were on soft flyballs hit 83 and 69 mph, respectively. Schultz also pitched two scoreless innings Wednesday in his first relief appearance after being called up Tuesday. If he can keep this up, it could make the White Sox quite a bit more dangerous in October.
