Lynn allowed three hits and a walk while striking out six in six scoreless innings in a no-decision in the second game of Saturday's doubleheader versus the Guardians.

Lynn was excellent in his second quality start of the year, but the White Sox's bullpen melted down in the seventh inning to cost him the win. Despite the positive start to the second half, he still owns a 6.43 ERA, 1.38 WHIP and 41:10 K:BB through 42 innings in eight outings. The veteran right-hander is projected for a favorable home start versus the Athletics next week.

Sandoval (3-6) took the loss during Saturday's 7-2 defeat to Atlanta, allowing five runs on eight hits and two walks with four strikeouts in three innings.

Sandoval surrendered two runs on three hits in the first inning and another three runs on five baserunners in the third, tying his shortest outing of the campaign and posting a season worst 25 game score. The 25-year-old has now gone winless in his last nine starts -- his last victory came on May 22 -- with Los Angeles losing eight of the contests. Sandoval carries a 3.43 ERA and 1.50 WHIP into his next start, scheduled for next weekend against Texas.

Wright (12-4) earned the win during Saturday's 7-2 victory over the Angels, allowing two runs on seven hits with eight strikeouts in six innings.

Atlanta jumped out to an early 5-0 lead which allowed Wright to cruise through six easy frames, surrendering single runs in the fourth and fifth while avoiding any sizeable scoring threats. The 26-year-old has logged three straight quality starts -- reigning victorious each contest -- and now sits alone behind Justin Verlander with 12 wins on the campaign. Wright carries a 2.95 ERA and 1.16 WHIP into his next start, scheduled for next weekend against Arizona.

Singer allowed two runs (one earned) on three hits and two walks while striking out 12 over six-plus innings in a no-decision versus the Rays on Saturday.

Singer carried a no-hitter through five innings, but the Rays were able to cobble together a run against him in the sixth. He started giving up harder contact in the seventh, and Taylor Clarke couldn't protect a lead, leaving Singer with his third no-decision in his last four starts. The right-hander has been solid in that span, allowing eight runs (seven earned) in 23.2 innings while racking up a 32:10 K:BB, and he's notched three consecutive quality starts. He owns a 3.82 ERA, 1.21 WHIP and 81:20 K:BB across 77.2 innings in 15 appearances (12 starts) this year, and he's projected for a tough road start versus the Yankees next week.

Martin was optioned to Triple-A Charlotte following Saturday's doubleheader against the Guardians.

Martin operated as the 27th man for the White Sox on Saturday, failing to pitch in either contest before being returned to Charlotte. He'll remain a top option for a potential call-up moving forward.

Matz suffered a left knee strain in Saturday's start against the Reds, John Denton of MLB.com reports.

Matz left Saturday's outing with what was originally reported to be a right ankle injury, but it has now been determined that he strained his left knee while trying to field a ball at first base in the sixth inning. Unfortunately, the left-hander will likely be placed on the 15-day injured list after making just one start since his last trip to the IL.

Matz left Saturday's start against the Reds in the sixth inning after he rolled his right ankle, John Denton of MLB.com reports.

Matz rolled his right ankle trying to field a ball at first base with one out in the sixth inning Saturday against the Reds, forcing him to exit the contest early. Making his first start after being activated from the 15-day injured list July 17, the left-hander pitched 5.1 innings, allowing two runs on three hits and a walk while striking out seven before exiting. Junior Fernandez replaced him on the mound and Matz can be considered day-to-day for the time being.

Meyer left Saturday's start versus the Pirates with right elbow discomfort.

After leaving the start against the Pirates in the first inning, it was deemed that Meyer was dealing with right elbow discomfort. The rookie was sidelined earlier this season with ulnar nerve irritation in the same elbow, making the news particularly troublesome for the right-hander. Meyer seems likely to be placed on the 15-day injured list in the coming days.

Cueto tossed seven innings, giving up four runs (three earned) on eight hits and a walk in the Game 1 loss to the Guardians in Saturday's doubleheader. He did not factor into the decision.

Cueto skated in and out of danger Saturday, allowing eight hits for the first time since May 28 versus the Cubs. The Guardians were able to scratch across all four runs in the fourth frame, all of which came with one out in the inning. Thanks to one of the runs being unearned, Cueto's streak of quality starts is up to five. He's now produced a 2.00 ERA with 13 strikeouts over 27 innings in four starts in July.

Meyer exited Saturday's start against the Pirates in the first inning with an undisclosed injury, Jake Crouse of MLB.com reports.

Meyer retired the first two batters he faced in the outing, but left the contest after walking Ke'Bryan Hayes and signaling to the dugout. The rookie appears to have been dealing with soreness in his right arm and more information will likely be provided later in the evening. Zach Pop replaced him on the mound and Meyer can be considered day-to-day for now.
