Tauchman went 1-for-4 with a solo home run and a walk Friday against the Royals.

Tauchman went deep in his third plate appearance of the game to record his third home run of the season. He's performed well in the leadoff role for the White Sox, reaching base multiple times in seven of his last 10 games. In that span, he has eight RBI and seven runs scored.

Teel went 1-for-2 with a run scored and two walks Friday against the Royals.

Teel made his big-league debut Friday night, hitting sixth while starting behind the plate. He worked a walk in his first plate appearance and laced a single to left field in the fourth inning for his first big-league hit. Teel should be a regular in the White Sox's lineup, though it remains unclear whether he will mix in at first base or designated hitter in addition to his work at catcher.

Aranda went 2-for-4 with two RBI and a run scored Friday against the Marlins.

Aranda has been hitting well over the last two weeks, with Friday's effort marking his sixth multi-hit performance in 12 games. He has only four extra-base hits in that span, but he has still managed 12 runs scored with 10 RBI. For the season, Aranda has maintained an excellent .324 batting average yet he still rarely starts against left-handed pitchers.

Rodgers went 1-for-3 with a solo home run and a walk Friday against the Guardians.

Rodgers has been relegated to a bench role, with Friday's start marking his first since May 28. He made the most of his chance by popping his second home run of the season in the sixth inning. Across 115 plate appearances on the campaign, Rodgers has hit just .194/.270/.291.

Carlson went 1-for-2 with a two-run home run and two walks in Friday's 5-4 loss to the Athletics.

Carlson has gone 4-for-16 (.250) with two walks and three RBI over his first five games in June. The outfielder opened the scoring with his second-inning blast Friday. He's up to three long balls, 11 RBI, six runs scored, three doubles and one stolen base while batting .222 with a .688 OPS through 69 plate appearances this season.

Holliday went 3-for-5 with a solo home run, a double and two total runs scored in Friday's 5-4 loss to the Athletics.

Holliday had gone just 3-for-22 (.136) over his previous six games, though two of his hits in that span went for extra bases. This was his fifth three-hit game of the season. The infielder is up to eight homers, 27 RBI, 24 runs scored, five stolen bases and a .268/.320/.445 slash line through 56 contests. Holliday has been steady enough lately to retain the leadoff spot in the lineup since mid-May.

Kremer (5-6) allowed five runs on eight hits and a walk while striking out two over 5.1 innings to take the loss Friday versus the Athletics.

This was a step in the wrong direction for Kremer after he had limited opponents to one run over his last 11.1 innings. The Athletics put up four runs in the third inning Friday and added one more in the fifth, which was the last run of the game. Kremer has allowed five or more runs on five occasions this season, pitching to a 4.98 ERA, 1.41 WHIP and 53:19 K:BB across 72.1 innings over 13 starts. The right-hander is tentatively projected for a tough home start versus the Tigers next week.

Urias went 1-for-3 with a walk, a stolen base and a run scored in Friday's 5-4 win over the Orioles.

Urias got a day off Thursday to reset after going 1-for-10 over three games versus the Twins. He was able to make a small impact Friday, stealing his second bag of the season. The infielder has added modest numbers across the board with a .243/.339/.395 slash line, six home runs, 14 RBI, 17 runs scored and five doubles over 50 contests. Urias continues to see a starting role at second base for the Athletics, but his hitting has been trending down over the last couple of weeks.

Wilson went 3-for-4 with two RBI and one run scored in Friday's 5-4 win over the Orioles.

Wilson dealt with a neck issue that kept him out of action Tuesday, but he's gone 8-for-13 over three games since returning to the lineup. It's part of a larger surge that has seen the shortstop log 11 multi-hit efforts over his last 17 games, batting .463 (31-for-67) in that stretch. He's up to a .369/.407/.527 slash line over 61 contests this season, which shows he's had no trouble adjusting to the majors in his first full big-league campaign.

Miller walked one and struck out three over 1.2 scoreless and hitless innings to earn the save in Friday's 5-4 win over the Orioles.

Miller inherited a bases-loaded, one-out situation from Tyler Ferguson in the eighth inning, but he struck out Heston Kjerstad and Jackson Holliday to escape the jam. Miller issued a walk in the ninth but had no trouble converting the save, his first since May 25. The Athletics' recent struggles have limited Miller's work lately, but he has submitted four straight scoreless outings, striking out five with one hit and two walks allowed over 4.2 innings in that stretch. For the season, the closer has converted 13 of his 15 save chances while pitching to a 4.84 ERA, 1.25 WHIP and 40:12 K:BB over 22.1 innings.
