White Sox News
The Chicago White Sox's tight grip on the AL Central slipped as they suffered a devastating walk-off loss to the Guardians, with closer Grant Taylor giving up a crushing two-run double to Brayan Rocchio on an 0-2 count. This heartbreaking defeat comes on the heels of a shaky week, where the Sox are just 2-5, showcasing an alarming run differential of -11. Adding to the turmoil, the team designated José Urquidy for assignment in a roster shakeup, recalling Noah Schultz from Triple-A in hopes of injecting fresh talent into a struggling pitching staff. With their playoff hopes dwindling and a half-game lead now in jeopardy, the White Sox must rally against the Guardians again today to reclaim some momentum and keep their postseason dreams alive.
