Antonacci went 3-for-5 with a walk and two runs scored Friday against the Royals.

Antonacci collected a pair of hits and also scored twice in a 10-run third inning for the White Sox. He now has multiple hits in four of his last seven starts, going 10-for-26 with four RBI and five runs scored in that span. Antonacci has contributed across the board in his first 62 games in the majors, hitting .294 with four homers, 11 steals and 39 runs scored.

Bradley did not factor into the decision Friday versus the Rockies, giving up two runs on three hits and three walks over seven innings. He struck out seven.

Bradley fired seven scoreless innings but returned for the eighth, when he allowed a double and a walk that came around to score after his exit. The Minnesota bullpen then surrendered five runs during the ninth inning to prevent him from picking up his seventh win of the season. Despite that misfortune, it's still a second consecutive quality outing for Bradley, who has allowed just two runs in both of his past two starts to lower his season-long ERA to 3.98 through 15 games.

Adell went 1-for-5 with a two-run home run in Friday's 9-3 loss to the Athletics.

Adell had gone 15 games without a homer before his long ball in the fifth inning. In that span, he still hit .266 with six doubles, though he added just four RBI and a 3:15 BB:K. The outfielder has held onto a starting role in right field for much of this season. He's batting .247 with a .681 OPS, 11 homers, 43 RBI, 38 runs scored and three stolen bases over 82 contests.

Urena (5-6) allowed seven runs on six hits and two walks while striking out five over 4.1 innings to take the loss versus the Athletics on Friday.

Urena didn't allow a baserunner through four innings, but the Athletics' offense burst to life for seven runs in the fifth. What started well ended up being the 22-year-old's worst start in his young major-league career. Despite the stumble, he still has a 3.14 ERA, 1.34 WHIP and 69:37 K:BB over 71.2 innings through 15 appearances (13 starts). Urena has had more good than bad moments this season, limiting opponents to two runs or fewer in nine of his 13 starts, but as a rookie with a lofty walk rate (4.7 BB/9), there's still some risk for fantasy managers who want to roster him.

Langeliers went 2-for-5 with one RBI and a stolen base in Friday's 9-3 win over the Angels.

Langeliers has logged two steals this season, both coming in June. The catcher had gone 13 games without a multi-hit effort prior to Friday, batting just .167 (9-for-54) in that span. He's now hitting .266 on the year while adding an .833 OPS, 19 home runs, 43 RBI, 49 runs scored and 16 doubles over 74 contests.

Bolte went 1-for-4 with two RBI, one stolen base and two runs scored in Friday's 9-3 win over the Angels.

Bolte has shown more confidence on the basepaths lately, going 5-for-6 on steal attempts over his last 10 games. He's batting .294 (10-for-34) in that span. The rookie outfielder has hit leadoff in three straight games, all against right-handed pitchers, since Zack Gelof (hand) exited the lineup. Bolte is now batting .317 with an .814 OPS, 10 steals, two home runs, 12 RBI, 14 runs scored and six doubles over his first 40 major-league contests.

Ginn (6-4) allowed three runs on eight hits and a walk while striking out five over six innings to earn the win over the Angels on Friday.

Ginn earned a quality start with this outing, his third such performance over five games in June. He's allowed 14 runs (12 earned) over 29 innings this month while adding a 26:10 K:BB. The right-hander is now at a 3.15 ERA, 1.22 WHIP and 78:36 K:BB through 88.2 innings over 18 appearances (15 starts). Ginn frequently allows too many hits, but he's done a fairly good job at limiting damage throughout the year. He's projected to make his next start at home versus the Dodgers in what's likely to be a challenging matchup.

Benintendi went 2-for-4 with a double, a solo home run and two runs scored Friday against the Royals.

Benintendi contributed to a 10-run third inning for the White Sox, tallying a double and coming around to score. He led off the following frame with his 10th home run of the season. Benintendi rarely gets starts against lefties, but he's still managed a very productive June by hitting .250 with six homers, 14 RBI and 12 runs scored across 20 games.

Kochanowicz's Tommy John surgery on his right elbow was deemed "successful," per MLB.com.

That's obviously good news for the right-handed hurler, who went under the knife in mid-June. Kochanowicz will be out for the remainder of this season and for at least a portion of 2027, though he could potentially return to action late in the campaign. He posted a 6.19 ERA, 1.58 WHIP and 47:36 K:BB over 64 frames spanning 13 starts this season before being sidelined.

Kikuchi (shoulder) has begun a throwing program, per MLB.com.

Kikuchi has so far been limited to playing catch, but that's tangible progress as he looks to work his way back from left shoulder inflammation. If the veteran hurler moves forward without any setbacks, he could rejoin the Angels' rotation after the All-Star break. Kikuchi posted a rough 5.81 ERA, 1.58 WHIP and 33:14 K:BB over 31 innings spanning seven starts before landing on the injured list in early May.
