White Sox's Aaron Civale: Serves up grand slam in no-decision
Rotowire
Civale took a no-decision Friday against the Twins, allowing four runs on five hits and four walks in five innings. He struck out five.
Civale was able to make it through three scoreless innings to begin his outing, but a Royce Lewis grand slam in the fourth inning left a major mark on the hurler's ledger. The veteran right-hander has now fanned at least five in five of his last six starts, though the four walks Friday tied a season high. Civale has a 5.05 ERA, 1.38 WHIP and 51:25 K:BB over 62.1 innings for the White Sox this year, and he'll remain a volatile fantasy option next week at home versus the division-rival Royals.

White Sox's Aaron Civale: Takes another loss
Rotowire
Civale (3-8) took the loss to the Royals on Friday, allowing three runs on eight hits and one walk while striking out three over six innings.
The right-hander ran into trouble early, giving up three hits and a run in the opening frame before surrendering a solo homer to Salvador Perez in the fourth, and again in the sixth when Adam Frazier laced an RBI double to extend Kansas City's lead. After opening August with a dominant outing, the veteran has regressed in back-to-back starts, taking consecutive losses while allowing eight hits in each. Civale will hold a 4.88 ERA, 1.35 WHIP and 65:28 K:BB when he faces Atlanta in his next scheduled turn.

White Sox's Aaron Civale: Tagged for nine runs
Rotowire
Civale (3-7) took the loss Friday against Cleveland, surrendering nine runs on eight hits and two walks while striking out six over 3.1 innings.
After not allowing an earned run across 17.1 innings in his previous three starts, Civale was knocked around from the jump Friday, with Cleveland scoring five runs in the first inning alone. The right-hander never found his footing, ultimately exiting in the fourth for his shortest outing since his season debut. The rough performance was a stark contrast to the dominant form he'd shown recently. Civale will look to quickly put this start behind him when he takes the mound again next week.

White Sox's Aaron Civale: Falls apart late in loss
Rotowire
Civale didn't factor into the decision Sunday against the Guardians, allowing four runs on three hits and two walks over 5.2 innings while recording three strikeouts.
Civale cruised through the first five innings while allowing just one hit, but he came undone in the sixth, giving up a three-run homer to Kyle Manzardo as part of a four-run frame that ended his outing. The 30-year-old has struggled to limit damage since joining the White Sox, surrendering four or more earned runs in three of his six starts with the team. Over that span, he's posted a 5.58 ERA with 15 walks and an 0-4 record, continuing a frustrating trend of inconsistency.

White Sox's Aaron Civale: Trouble finding plate Friday
Rotowire
Civale didn't factor into the decision in Friday's 3-1 loss to the Giants, allowing one run on three hits and four walks over four innings. He struck out four.
The veteran righty got only 40 of his 80 pitches into the strike zone before getting the hook with the game tied 1-1.

He's unlikely to nab his first win with Chicago in his next outing, which lines up to come on the road next week against the Dodgers.
White Sox's Aaron Civale: Tagged for five runs in loss
Rotowire
Civale (1-4) took the loss against Toronto on Saturday, allowing five runs on nine hits and one walk while striking out two across seven innings.
Civale put the White Sox on the back foot after yielding a leadoff home run to Bo Bichette before giving up three more runs on five singles in the second. Civale seemed to settle in and kept the Blue Jays off the board over the next four frames, but he was tagged for another run on a Vladimir Guerrero solo shot in the seventh. It was Civale's longest outing of the season, but it was the second start in which he allowed five runs, and he now sits with a 5.03 ERA and 1.47 WHIP across 34 innings. He'll look for his first win with the White Sox in his next start, tentatively slated for next weekend at home against the Giants.

Rotowire
Civale (1-3) took the loss Sunday against Texas, allowing two runs on six hits and four walks across five innings. He struck out four.
Civale made his first start in a White Sox uniform Sunday after being dealt to Chicago from Milwaukee on Friday. He had uncharacteristically poor control, walking four batters for the first time in 12 starts dating back to the 2024 campaign. The veteran right-hander could be a trade candidate once again as the deadline approaches, but in the meantime, he has a safe spot in the White Sox rotation. In 27 innings this season, Civale owns a 4.67 ERA and a 23:11 K:BB. He's on track to face the surging Blue Jays for his next start.

White Sox's Aaron Civale: Making Sox debut Sunday
Rotowire
White Sox manager Will Venable said that Civale will start Sunday's game against the Rangers, Kyle Williams of the Chicago Sun-Times reports.
The White Sox acquired Civale on Friday, after he requested to be traded from Milwaukee upon being told earlier this week that he would be moved to the bullpen. He'll immediately slot into the starting rotation for his new organization but could be traded again prior to the July 31 deadline, given the White Sox's status as a non-contender in addition to the fact that the right-hander is on an expiring contract. Civale logged a 4.91 ERA over 22 innings with the Brewers and pitched into the sixth inning just once in five starts this season.

White Sox's Aaron Civale: Traded to White Sox
Rotowire
The White Sox acquired Civale from the Brewers on Friday in exchange for first baseman Andrew Vaughn, Jon Heyman of the New York Post reports.
Civale requested a trade after being told earlier this week that he would be demoted to the bullpen, and Milwaukee has quickly accommodated the request. The veteran right-hander last pitched Monday, so he could join Chicago's rotation as soon as Saturday against the Rangers. Civale held a 4.91 ERA, 1.36 WHIP and 19:7 K:BB in 22 innings over his five starts with Milwaukee this season.

Brewers' Aaron Civale: Requests to traded
Rotowire
Civale requested a trade from the Brewers after manager Pat Murphy informed the right-hander Wednesday that he would be moved to the bullpen, Ken Rosenthal and Will Sammon of The Athletic report.
Civale is the odd man out of the rotation to accommodate the arrival of top prospect Jacob Misiorowski, who will be called up from Triple-A Nashville to start Thursday versus the Cardinals. However, Civale's agent, Jack Toffey, has formally made a request to Brewers general manager Matt Arnold that his client be traded to a team where he can continue being used as a starting pitcher. The Brewers are under no obligation to honor the request, but there should be interest in Civale if the club decides a trade is best for both parties. Civale has been limited to five starts this season due to a strained hamstring, posting a 4.91 ERA and 19:7 K:BB over 22 innings. The 30-year-old is making $8 million this season and is set to become a free agent this offseason.
Brewers manager Pat Murphy said Wednesday that Civale will move to the bullpen for the time being, Adam McCalvy of MLB.com reports.
The Brewers are calling up right-hander Jacob Misiorowski from Triple-A Nashville to join the rotation Thursday, and Murphy wants to stick with a traditional five-man setup, so Civale will be the odd man out. Civale could eventually rejoins the rotation if Misiorowski struggles, although the Brewers hope to get Brandon Woodruff (shoulder/ankle/elbow) back from the 60-day injured list in the coming weeks.
