MLB Player News

Torres (side) is out of the lineup for Sunday's game against the Rangers.

The second baseman departed Saturday's contest with left side tightness and will miss at least one game due to the injury. According to Chris McCosky of The Detroit News, Torres is expected to avoid a trip to the injured list since testing came back negative, so he appears likely to return to action within a few days.

Vargas is out of the lineup for Sunday's game against the Padres.

Vargas appears to be receiving a routine day off after he had started in every game dating back to April 12. With Vargas on the bench for the series finale, Colson Montgomery will fill in at third base.

Frazier is out of the lineup for Sunday's game against the Mets.

Frazier's grip on a strong-side platoon role at the keystone could be loosening, as he's on the bench for the second straight matchup versus a right-handed starter (Clay Holmes). Vaughn Grissom will receive another start at second base in place of Frazier after going 1-for-5 with two RBI in Saturday's 4-3 extra-inning win.

McNeil went 2-for-3 with two RBI in Saturday's 14-6 loss against the Guardians.

McNeil recorded his second two-hit game in as many days, driving in runs with an RBI single in the fourth inning and a sacrifice fly in the sixth frame. The veteran has been swinging a hot bat of late, slashing .387/.412/.548 with a homer, two doubles, five RBI and three runs across his past 10 games. On the year, McNeil is slashing .306/.375/.408 with a homer, seven doubles, nine RBI, nine runs and a stolen base across 32 contests.

Vargas went 1-for-4 with two RBI on Saturday against the Padres.

Vargas delivered a two-RBI single in the sixth inning to break a scoreless tie and help the White Sox to a win. After slumping to begin the season, he's turned things around since mid-April. In his last 15 games, Vargas has gone 16-for-58 (.276) with five homers, 10 RBI, 13 runs scored and two stolen bases.

Torres was removed from Saturday's game against the Rangers due to left side tightness, Evan Petzold of the Detroit Free Press reports.

It's not clear when Torres sustained the injury, but he was replaced by Hao-Yu Lee in the fourth inning after going 2-for-2 with an RBI single in the second frame. The Tigers should provide an update on Torres' status once the veteran second baseman undergoes further tests on his left side.

Bazzana went 1-for-4 with a walk, a run scored, two RBI and a stolen base in Saturday's 14-6 rout of the A's.

After going 0-for-9 with four walks in his first three MLB games, Bazzana racked up his first career hit and RBI with a seventh-inning single Saturday, and he promptly swiped his first career bag afterward. The 23-year-old top prospect will get plenty of leeway to establish himself in the majors after slashing .287/.422/.511 over 24 games at Triple-A to earn his first promotion.

Sosa went 2-for-5 with a solo home run, an additional run and an additional RBI on Saturday against the Twins in an 11-4 victory.

Sosa kicked off the scoring for Toronto with a 415-foot solo shot in the second inning. He added another RBI on an infield single in the eighth. The long ball was Sosa's first of the season in his 24th game after he went deep 22 times across 140 contests with the White Sox in 2025. Overall, he's slashing a modest .257/.254/.386 and has yet to take a walk over 72 plate appearances on the campaign, but he may be heating up after going 5-for-9 across his past two games.

Frazier isn't in the lineup for Saturday's game against the Mets, Erica Weston of Bally Sports West reports.

Frazier has gone 4-for-15 with an RBI and two runs scored over his last five games, and he'll take a seat against Nolan McLean and the Mets. Vaughn Grissom will start at the keystone and bat seventh.

Sosa went 3-for-4 with a double and two runs scored in Friday's 7-3 win over the Twins.

It was Sosa's first multi-hit game since he joined the Blue Jays via trade from the White Sox on April 13. Across 34 trips to the plate with Toronto, Sosa has a .281/.273/.375 slash line with three doubles, four RBI, four runs scored and a 0:6 BB:K. He's serving as the team's utility infielder.
