Keith went 1-for-2 with a walk, a triple, an RBI and two runs scored in Wednesday's 5-4 win over the Guardians.

Keith continues to chug along as he extended his hitting streak to eight games. During that stretch, the rookie has batted .419 with six extra-base hits. After looking shaky to start the season, Keith now appears to be a solid fantasy contributor, and fantasy mangers should jump on the 22-year-old if he's still available in their leagues given his recent performance and considerable upside.

Vierling went 1-for-2 with a home run and three RBI in Wednesday's 5-4 win over the Guardians.

Vierling hit a sacrifice fly in the first inning and gave the Tigers a 4-2 lead with a two-run homer in the third. He has had a decent start to July, logging hits in five of seven contests with two home runs, five RBI and six runs scored. On the season, the 27-year-old is hitting .246 with 12 home runs, 38 RBI and 41 runs scored over 317 plate appearances.

Foley earned a save in Wednesday's win over the Guardians, walking one and recording the final two outs in the ninth inning.

Foley was summoned to protect a 5-4 lead with one out in the ninth inning and stranded a runner on third to secure his 15th save in 17 attempts. It was a gutsy effort, as he entered Wednesday having yielded four earned runs over his previous four appearances. On the season, the 28-year-old owns a 3.41 ERA, 1.33 WHIP and 24:10 K:BB over 31.2 innings.

Olson (4-8) earned the win against the Guardians on Wednesday, allowing three runs on six hits and one walk with three strikeouts over six innings.

Olson allowed two runs in the third inning and a solo homer in the fourth but rebounded with two scoreless frames before departing at 95 pitches. The righty has now logged quality starts in four of his past five outings and registered consecutive victories for the first time this season. He will take a 3.30 ERA, 1.18 WHIP and 92:29 K:BB into the All-Star break.

Bibee (7-4) took the loss against the Tigers on Wednesday, allowing four runs on five hits and three walks with eight strikeouts over seven innings.

Bibee allowed two runs in the first inning and surrendered a two-run homer in the third before rebounding with four scoreless frames. The 25 year-old's velocity was over more than one mph below his season average, and he has yielded four earned runs in back-to-back outings to open July. He will take a 3.77 ERA, 1.12 WHIP and 123:27 K:BB into the All-Star break.

Munoz earned a save against the Padres on Wednesday, walking two and striking out two over 1.1 scoreless innings.

Munoz struck out Jurickson Profar with two outs in the eighth inning and worked around two walks in the ninth to secure his 15th save of the season. The righty has yielded just one earned run over his past 10 appearances and is 15-for-17 in save chances this season. He owns a 1.45 ERA, 1.02 WHIP and 45:16 K:BB over 37.1 innings.

Miller (7-7) earned the win against the Padres on Wednesday, allowing five hits and no walks while striking out one over six scoreless innings.

Miller worked out of a bases-loaded jam in the second inning and then cruised from there despite generating just six swinging strikes on 80 pitches. This was the righty's first quality start since June 12, but he has now yielded two earned runs or fewer in five of his past six outings. He will take a 3.63 ERA, 1.06 WHIP and 98:29 K:BB into the All-Star break.

Alvarez was removed from Wednesday's game against the Marlins due to right hip tightness, Matt Kawahara of the Houston Chronicle reports. He went 1-for-1 with a single, a walk and a stolen base before departing.

Alvarez remained in the game after a trainer checked on him following his RBI single in the second inning, but the decision to pull him was made when his spot in the order came up in the fourth. The severity of his hip injury remains unknown, though it's possible he sits down another game or two after also missing Sunday's contest due to knee soreness.

Garcia (elbow) didn't make a rehab appearance Wednesday with Triple-A Buffalo as planned due to neck stiffness, Arden Zwelling of Sportsnet.ca reports.

Garcia's rehab appearance has now been pushed back twice due to the neck issue that popped up Tuesday. He threw a side session instead to make up for not getting into a game and is now slated to pitch for Buffalo on Thursday, barring any further setbacks.

The White Sox reinstated Fletcher (shoulder) from the 10-day injured list Wednesday and optioned him to Triple-A Charlotte.

Fletcher's rehab assignment was transferred from the Arizona Complex League to Triple-A on Thursday, and he'll remain in Charlotte despite being fully recovered from his left shoulder strain. The 26-year-old outfielder slashed just .173/.253/.227 across 84 plate appearances during his time in the majors, though a return to Chicago may be possible if Fletcher heats up in the minor leagues.
