Clevinger (elbow) will make another rehab start with Triple-A Charlotte on Sunday, MLB.com reports.

The White Sox had considered bringing Clevinger back before he was fully built up, though they'll opt to give him a second start on his most recent rehab assignment. He'll remain on the injured list through the All-Star break at least, and the team has not committed to immediately activating him when games start back up.

Kirby (7-7) allowed two runs (one earned) on three hits and two walks while striking out seven over six innings, taking the loss Saturday versus the Angels.

This marked just the third time all year Kirby walked multiple batters. He heads into the All-Star break with seven straight quality starts, though he's gone 2-2 in that span due to a continued lack of run support. Kirby owns an excellent 3.29 ERA, 0.99 WHIP and 116:13 K:BB through 117.2 innings over 20 starts this season.

Soriano (5-7) allowed one run on five hits and four walks while striking out five over six innings to earn the win Saturday over the Mariners.

Soriano picked up his first win in three starts since he returned from an abdominal infection. While the four walks were his most in his last eight starts, he was able limit the damage and come away with the win in the low-scoring contest. The right-hander is now at a 3.71 ERA, 1.20 WHIP and 72:34 K:BB through 87.1 innings over 17 appearances (15 starts) this season. Soriano threw 87 pitches (59 strikes) Saturday and should be clear for a full workload in the second half.

Woods Richardson allowed two runs on seven hits and a walk while striking out seven over 4.1 innings in a no-decision versus the Giants on Saturday.

This was the first time since June 14 that Woods Richardson failed to complete five frames. He didn't allow too much, but he left with the game tied at 2-2 before the Twins pulled ahead later. The right-hander has gone five starts without allowing more than two runs. For the year, he has a 3.51 ERA, 1.15 WHIP and 71:24 K:BB through 82 innings across 16 starts.

Gil (10-5) earned the win against the Orioles on Saturday, allowing one run on five hits and one walk with seven strikeouts over six innings.

Gil allowed a run in the fourth but was otherwise fantastic, finishing with two perfect innings and departing with a 6-1 lead. The righty generated 15 swinging strikes and will head into the All-Star break with some momentum after yielding just two runs over his past two outings. On the season, he owns a 3.17 ERA, 1.08 WHIP and 118:49 K:BB across 102.1 innings

Rodriguez (11-4) took the loss against the Yankees on Saturday, allowing six runs on eight hits and one walk with seven strikeouts over five innings.

Rodriguez allowed a season-high three home runs, including a three-run homer in the first inning and back-to-back long balls to Juan Soto and Aaron Judge in the fifth. He generated 13 swinging strikes on 91 pitches but was burned by his mistakes, breaking a run of three consecutive quality-start victories. The 24-year-old will take a 3.88 ERA, 1.24 WHIP and 112:31 K:BB across 99.2 innings into the All-Star break.

Lugo (11-4) took the loss against Boston on Saturday, allowing five runs on 10 hits and one walk while striking out six batters over five innings.

It was a great first half overall for Lugo, who was recently named an All-Star for the first time in his career. However, the veteran hurler didn't have his best stuff Saturday, as he yielded a season-high 10 hits, while the five runs tied a season-worst mark. Lugo will still enter the break with a 2.48 ERA (fourth best among qualified pitchers) and 11 wins along with a 1.09 WHIP and 116:30 K:BB over 127.0 innings.

Crawford (6-7) earned the win over Kansas City on Saturday, allowing two hits and issuing one walk while striking out four batters over seven-plus scoreless innings.

Crawford was sharp in the outing, allowing just a third-inning double and an eighth-inning single along with a walk and a hit-by-pitch. The right-hander capped the pre-All-Star-break portion of the campaign with consecutive seven-inning scoreless outings, and he's on a streak of six straight quality starts. Overall, he's pitched to a 3.04 ERA, 1.03 WHIP and 110:29 K:BB over 112.2 innings across 19 starts.

Flexen (2-8) took the loss against the Pirates on Saturday, allowing two runs on five hits and two walks with four strikeouts over six innings.

Flexen allowed a run in the first inning and was charged with another as an inherited runner came around to score in the seventh. He yielded 10 hard-hit balls on 78 pitches but was able to limit the damage and has now logged three consecutive quality starts despite failing to record a win in any of them. The 30-year-old will take a 4.73 ERA, 1.36 WHIP and 71:36 K:BB across 97 innings into the All-Star break.

Montero did not factor into the decision in Saturday's 11-9 extra-inning win against the Dodgers, allowing five runs on seven hits and four walks with four strikeouts over five innings.

Montero allowed the first batter he faced to reach base in four of five innings and yielded runs in the first, third and fifth frames. He had logged back-to-back quality starts but has now surrendered at least four earned runs in his three other outings this season. The rookie will take an uninspiring 5.47 ERA, 1.37 WHIP and 23:10 K:BB across 26.1 innings into the All-Star break.
