  • Gus Varland RP | WAS

    White Sox's Gus Varland: Healthy again at Triple-A

    Varland (undisclosed) has given up one earned run on one hit and two walks while striking out four over 2.1 innings in his two relief appearances for Triple-A Charlotte since being reinstated from the 7-day injured list Tuesday.

    Varland missed two and a half months of action due to the undisclosed injury, but he's healthy again and will look to put together a slew of quality relief performances to earn a call-up to the big leagues. He posted a 3.42 ERA over 26.1 innings in 2024 between stops in the majors with the Dodgers and White Sox a season ago.

  • White Sox's Andrew Benintendi: Getting evening off

    Benintendi is out of the lineup for Monday's game against the Diamondbacks.

    The White Sox will give the lefty-hitting Benintendi the night off while southpaw Eduardo Rodriguez takes the hill for Arizona in the series opener. Austin Slater will get the start in left field in place of Benintendi, who is slashing .243/.270/.457 with two home runs, seven RBI and seven runs through his first 19 games of June.

  • Vinny Capra 3B | BOS

    White Sox's Vinny Capra: Seeing limited playing time

    Capra will start at third base and bat ninth in Monday's game against the Diamondbacks.

    Capra has been with the White Sox since he was claimed off waivers from the Brewers on May 15, but he'll be picking up just his 10th start Monday. With southpaw Eduardo Rodriguez on the hill for Arizona, the right-handed-hitting Capra will be filling in for the left-handed-hitting Josh Rojas in the White Sox infield.

  • Ryan Noda 1B | BAL

    White Sox's Ryan Noda: Sitting against southpaw

    Noda is out of the lineup for Monday's game against the Diamondbacks.

    Though he'll hit the bench while the Diamondbacks send southpaw Eduardo Rodriguez to the hill, the left-handed-hitting Noda has been a regular in the White Sox lineup against right-handed pitching since he was claimed off waivers from the Red Sox on June 13. Noda started in seven of the previous eight games but went 2-for-19 with five walks and 12 strikeouts. Edgar Quero will replace him at designated hitter Monday.

  • Mike Tauchman CF | NYM

    White Sox's Mike Tauchman: Remains out of lineup

    Tauchman (groin) is out of the lineup for Monday's game against the Diamondbacks.

    Tauchman will miss out on a fourth consecutive start and hasn't been used off the bench in the last three contests after he tweaked his groin while running the bases in the second game of Thursday's doubleheader versus the Cardinals. Per MLB.com, Tauchman was scheduled to do some running and take part in other baseball activities prior to Monday's contest, and the White Sox will wait and see how his groin responds before determining if he'll be available off the bench in the series opener.

  • Michael Arroyo 2B | SEA

    Mariners' Michael Arroyo: Promoted to Double-A

    Arroyo has been promoted from High-A Everett to Double-A Arkansas, Adam Jude of The Seattle Times reports.

    Arroyo will be bumped up a level after slashing .269/.422/.512 with 15 home runs and three stolen bases over 65 contests with Everett, which includes a .309/.454/.599batting line since the start of May. He will play the entirety of the 2025 season at just 20 years of age, but Arroyo appears ready to be tested in the Texas League.

  • Lazaro Montes RF | SEA

    Mariners' Lazaro Montes: Moves up to Double-A

    Montes has been promoted from High-A Everett to Double-A Arkansas, Adam Jude of The Seattle Times reports.

    Montes earned the promotion after slashing .268/.387/.572 with 18 home runs in 67 games with Everett. The left-handed-batter did strike out at a 27.6 percent clip with Everett and also hit only .212/.307/.455 versus left-handed pitching, so he's not a finished product. However, Montes has some of the best power of any hitting prospect in baseball and will now get to test himself at the Double-A for the first time.

  • Red Sox's Carlos Narvaez: Resting Monday

    Narvaez is not in the Red Sox's starting lineup against the Angels on Monday, Chris Cotillo of MassLive.com reports.

    Narvaez will take a seat after going 2-for-10 with one double and five strikeouts in two starts during the Red Sox's three-game weekend road series against the Giants. Connor Wong will serve behind home plate and bat eighth.

  • Jacob Latz RP | TEX

    Rangers' Jacob Latz: Tentatively lined up for Tuesday

    Latz appears tentatively scheduled to start Tuesday's game in Baltimore, Evan Grant of The Dallas Morning News reports.

    Dane Dunning is also an option to start Tuesday, but the Rangers appear prepared to have Latz open the contest as long as he isn't needed out of the bullpen in Monday's series opener. Fifteen of Latz's 16 appearances this season have come out of the bullpen, but he covered 5.2 innings and threw 82 pitches in his most recent relief appearance Thursday against the Royals, so he's stretched out enough to provide length Tuesday. With Nathan Eovaldi (triceps) expected back from the injured list later this week, Latz will likely be in line for just one turn through the Texas rotation.

  • Kyren Paris LF | LAA

    Angels' Kyren Paris: Back in majors

    The Angels recalled Paris from Triple-A Salt Lake on Monday.

    He's taking the roster spot vacated by Kevin Newman, who was placed on the paternity list. Paris has slashed only .188/.340/.363 since being demoted to Salt Lake in late May and will likely be with the big club only until Newman returns later this week.
