Edgar Quero C | CHW
White Sox's Edgar Quero: Tallies first career four-hit game
Quero went 4-for-5 with a double, an RBI and two runs scored in Friday's 12-5 win over the Cubs.
It was Quero's first career four-hit game, and it was the sixth time he's recorded at least three knocks this season. Although the 22-year-old switch-hitting backstop's fantasy upside remains limited by Chicago's lackluster lineup, he's becoming one of the lone bright spots for the White Sox. Since the start of June, Quero is slashing .301/.362/.430 with two home runs, six doubles and 13 RBI.

Orioles' Adley Rutschman: Could be reinstated soon
Manager Tony Mansolino said Friday that Rutschman (oblique) will catch the next two games at Triple-A Norfolk and could be reinstated soon after, Matt Weyrich of The Baltimore Sun reports.
An earlier report stated there was a possibility that Rutschman would return Friday, but he'll need at least a few more days before rejoining the Orioles. Rutschman hasn't appeared in an MLB game in over a month due to a strained left oblique. He's played in two rehab games so far, going 1-for-6 with a double, two walks and a strikeout.
