Jake Eder RP | LAD
White Sox's Jake Eder: Sent to Charlotte
The White Sox returned Eder to Triple-A Charlotte after Wednesday's doubleheader versus the Twins.
Eder joined the White Sox as the 27th man for Wednesday's twin bill, though he will now return to the minors without appearing in a game. However, his move to Charlotte will act as a promotion of sorts, as the 25-year-old southpaw had spent the entire season with Double-A Birmingham prior to Wednesday.

Jhoan Duran RP | PHI
Twins' Jhoan Duran: Nabs 14th save
Duran picked up the save in the second game of Wednesday's doubleheader versus the White Sox, striking out a pair in a perfect ninth inning.
Duran's held opponents scoreless in his last seven appearances, striking out seven while notching three saves in that span. Overall, the right-hander's ERA is down to 3.03 with a 0.98 WHIP and 28:10 K:BB across 29.2 innings this year.

Pablo Lopez SP | MIN
Twins' Pablo Lopez: Better in no-decision
Lopez allowed two runs on four hits and a walk over five innings in a no-decision Wednesday against the White Sox. He struck out five.
While he failed to earn the win, it was a much better outing from Lopez after he allowed six runs on eight hits over five innings in his last start against the Astros. Overall, it's been an inconsistent year so far for Lopez, who'll carry a disappointing 5.11 ERA into the All-Star break. However, a 1.18 WHIP, 121:23 K:BB and an xERA of 3.38 indicate that Lopez could be due for some positive regression in the second half.

Drew Thorpe SP | CHW
White Sox's Drew Thorpe: Nets fourth straight quality start
Thorpe didn't factor into the decision Wednesday against Minnesota in the second game of a doubleheader, allowing two runs on three hits and a walk through six innings. He struck out one.
Thorpe was cruising Wednesday, holding the Twins to just one hit through five scoreless innings. However, the rookie right-hander would give up back-to-back homers to Brooks Lee and Carlos Correa in the sixth, allowing Minnesota to tie the game, 2-2. Still, it was another solid outing from Thorpe -- he's now delivered four straight quality starts, allowing just five runs over 24.1 innings in that span. Overall, Thorpe is 3-1 with a 3.58 ERA, 1.04 WHIP and 19:15 K:BB through his first six starts (32.2 innings). He's currently slated for a road matchup with the Royals in his next outing following the All-Star break.

Tyler Soderstrom LF | ATH
Athletics' Tyler Soderstrom: Taking seat Wednesday
Soderstrom is out of the lineup for Wednesday's game against the Red Sox.
Tyler Nevin will draw the start at first base while Soderstrom heads to the bench for the second time in four games. The 22-year-old has fallen into a rut at the plate over his last 10 contests, going 6-for-37 (.162 average) with a home run and three RBI.

Jonah Heim C | ATH
Rangers' Jonah Heim: Back in action
Heim (neck) will start at catcher and bat seventh Wednesday versus the Angels.
Neck stiffness caused Heim to be scratched from Texas' lineup ahead of Tuesday's contest, but he seems to be feeling well enough to return behind the plate Wednesday. The 29-year-old has slashed .360/.346/.600 with a homer and three RBI since the beginning of July.

He made his 2024 debut Thursday, tossing one inning and giving up two runs on one hit and one walk.
