Peters back in action one day after scary crash into outfield wall

CHICAGO – Things could have turned out much worse for Tristan Peters. In fact, when Peters suffered a left shoulder/rib contusion while crashing into the right-center-field wall chasing down Kevin McGonigle’s three-run triple in the fifth during an 11-8 loss Friday to the Tigers, the White Sox rookie center fielder thought the injury was worse than the eventual diagnosis.

Tigers Notes: Verlander, Ryan, Holton

While stressing that these plans are “still in pencil,” Tigers manager A.J. Hinch told the Detroit Free Press’ Jeff Seidel and other reporters said the team intends to start Justin Verlander on Saturday when the Tigers host the Pirates. If all goes to plan, this will be the last game of Verlander’s superb 21-year career, and his first home start in a Tigers uniform since 2017. After signing a one-year, $13MM free agent winter to return to Motown, Verlander has spent almost the entire season on...

Tigers’ Troy Melton mysteriously leaves start vs. White Sox

Detroit Tigers starting pitcher Troy Melton exited Sunday’s 8-1 loss to the Chicago White Sox in the fourth inning after complaining of “achyness” in his arm. He will undergo further examination.

White Sox find sunshine in the rain with 8-1 win over Tigers

If you overlook a four-hour rain delay and miserable fall football weather that lasted throughout the three-hour game, Sunday’s 8-1 crushing of the Detroit Tigers was unqualified joy from first pitch to final out. In beating Detroit in three of four, the White Sox remained just one game behind Cleveland heading into a significant matchup […]

Melton struggles as White Sox take the series

On a blustery, wet Sunday evening in Chicago, Troy Melton struggled through a shaky outing and left in the fourth with an apparent injury. The Tigers didn’t swing the bats that well, though they had their chances, but the bullpen crumbled in the middle innings to put this one out of reach. The Tigers lost […]

The Tigers will recall the right-hander from Triple-A Toledo to make his Tigers debut on Monday night, starting in the series opener against the Nationals at Comerica Park.

Today in White Sox History: September 20

1902 Nixey Callahan threw the first no-hitter in White Sox history, as he beat the Tigers. It was just the second no-hitter in American League history. The Sox gave him all the runs he needed by scoring three in the first inning, as the Sox won it, 3-0, in Chicago. The Tigers got one runner as […]

Stressful stretch run has White Sox putting individual pitches under microscope

The White Sox's 3-1 victory over the Tigers on Saturday was straightforward enough -- a starter going six innings! only two relievers! -- that it didn't inspire any second-guessing, especially since both second-guessable decisions worked out the way Will Venable hoped. If a Davis Martin-led effort can best a Troy Melton-led effort on Detroit's side, the White Sox will come away winning three of four, and everybody will try to avoid talking about the other game. But I do want to talk about th...

Toledo Mud Hens 4, Louisville Bats 1 (box) Jack Flaherty’s rehab outing went well and the Hens pitching staff smothered the Bats all the way through Saturday’s second to last game of the season. The veteran right-hander faces a very uncertain free agency under very uncertain circumstances this offseason, but presumably his Tigers tenure is […]

Burke digs deep as White Sox claw past Tigers, 3-1

Sean Burke gave the White Sox a chance to win Saturday afternoon. His offense didn’t give him much support, but it gave him just enough. The righthander came out firing, mowing through the first with a fly out and back-to-back punchouts. The knuckle curve had bite, and he breezed through the first three innings on […]
