Castro went 3-for-4 with a double during Sunday's 2-1 loss to Houston in 10 innings.

Castro extended his hit streak to eight games Sunday, delivering his fourth multi-hit performance during that stretch. The utility player has been on a tear lately, going 25-for-61 (.409) with five home runs, 12 runs scored and 10 RBI over his last 17 games. He owns a .290/.365/.483 slash line on the year.

Civale (1-3) took the loss Sunday against Texas, allowing two runs on six hits and four walks across five innings. He struck out four.

Civale made his first start in a White Sox uniform Sunday after being dealt to Chicago from Milwaukee on Friday. He had uncharacteristically poor control, walking four batters for the first time in 12 starts dating back to the 2024 campaign. The veteran right-hander could be a trade candidate once again as the deadline approaches, but in the meantime, he has a safe spot in the White Sox rotation. In 27 innings this season, Civale owns a 4.67 ERA and a 23:11 K:BB. He's on track to face the surging Blue Jays for his next start.

Jackson picked up the save Sunday against the White Sox, allowing no hits or walks with one strikeout over a scoreless ninth inning.

Jackson received his first save chance since May 21 as closer Robert Garcia got the day off after throwing in back-to-back games. Jackson cashed in for his ninth save of the campaign, marking his first perfect appearance in five outings. The 33-year-old owns a 3.91 ERA and an 18:11 K:BB over 23 innings in 2025.

Rojas went 2-for-4 with a stolen base during Sunday's 2-1 loss to the Rangers.

Rojas swiped his fourth bag of the season Sunday and notched his third multi-hit game in his last nine outings. The 31-year-old has struggled at the plate this season, slashing .184/.261/223 with no home runs and four doubles over 112 plate appearances.

Vargas went 1-for-4 with a solo home run during Sunday's 2-1 loss to Texas.

Vargas was the lone source of offense for the White Sox on Sunday, clubbing a solo homer in the sixth inning off of Jacob Webb. The round tripper extended Vargas' hit streak to five games. During that stretch, he's 7-for-20 with three doubles, a triple and five runs scored. He's now hit 10 home runs in a season for the first time in his four-year career.

Rocker (2-4) picked up the win Sunday against the White Sox, allowing four hits and one walk with six strikeouts over five innings.

Rocker was visited on the mound three times in the fifth inning, twice by the training and coaching staff and once by a ball boy with pickle juice, in an attempt to stave off cramps, per Shawn McFarland of The Dallas Morning News. While he'd finish out the inning, Rocker didn't return for the sixth frame, ending his day after just 82 pitches. Still, it was a strong performance for the 25-year-old, who came into the contest with an 8.87 ERA over six starts. Sunday's outing marked Rocker's first career scoreless outing and served as a bounce-back after he yielded five runs in each of his previous two appearances. He's set to temporarily fill Tyler Mahle's (shoulder) spot in the rotation, and his next start is scheduled to come at Pittsburgh.

Fried (9-2) yielded two runs on six hits and two walks over seven frames Sunday, striking out nine and taking a loss against Boston.

Fried coughed up a run in the first inning before Rafael Devers belted a solo shot in the fifth. Unfortunately for Fried, he was outdueled by Brayan Bello (seven scoreless innings) and the Yankees were shut out. Fried tossed 72 of 106 pitches for strikes and generated 15 whiffs. He's sporting a terrific 1.89 ERA with a 90:20 K:BB through 95 frames. He's turned in three straight quality starts after coughing up six runs against the Dodgers on May 30. Fried's next matchup is expected to be at home against the Orioles.

Bello (3-1) yielded three hits and three walks over seven shutout frames Sunday, striking out eight and earning a win over the Yankees.

Bello delivered his best stuff in a huge matchup against Boston's rival to complete the weekend sweep. He gave up a leadoff double to Trent Grisham to begin the game, but only one other Yankee reached scoring position against him. Bello fired 72 of 114 pitches for strikes, including 13 whiffs. He's delivered three straight quality starts, and Sunday's performance was his longest outing of the year. Bello is sporting a 3.49 ERA with a 45:28 K:BB through 59.1 frames. He's projected to start in San Francisco next weekend.

Tibbs has been assigned to Double-A Portland following his trade to the Red Sox on Sunday, Andrew Parker of Beyond the Monster reports.

Tibbs was dealt to Boston as a part of a trade that sent Rafael Devers to the Giants on Sunday. The former has impressed this year with High-A Eugene, batting .246 with 23 extra-base hits, including 12 homers, over 57 games. Tibbs will now get his first taste of Double-A action with Portland.

Whitlock threw 1.2 perfect innings to earn a save over the Yankees on Sunday. He struck out one batter.

Whitlock entered the game with two on and one out in the eighth inning and forced Aaron Judge to ground into a double play. Whitlock then retired the Yankees' 4-5-6 batters in order to close out the 2-0 win. He earned his first save since 2023 and dropped his ERA to 2.97 through 36.1 frames. Aroldis Chapman did not appear in the game.
