White Sox's Colson Montgomery: Knocks in game-winning run
Rotowire
Montgomery went 1-for-5 with a double and an RBI on Monday against the Orioles.
Montgomery made his lone hit of the game count when he delivered the game-winning run with a double in the eighth inning. He now has at least one hit in five of his last six games, though he's gone just 6-for-23 with just two RBI, two doubles, and two runs scored in that span. Overall, Montgomery has mostly produced as expected across 333 plate appearances, striking out at a 31.8 percent clip while also slugging 20 home runs.

White Sox's Jacob Gonzalez: Plates three in win
Rotowire
Gonzalez went 2-for-4 with a double, three RBI and two runs scored in Monday's 8-2 win over Baltimore.
The White Sox fell into an early 1-0 hole, but Gonzalez got his team on the board in the top of the third with an RBI double. He would strike again in the ninth to tack on a pair of insurance runs, doing so with a single to center field. Gonzalez has delivered key run production for his club lately, tallying nine RBI over his last four games. The 24-year-old should continue to see his name in the starting nine while swinging a hot bat, at least until Munetaka Murakami (hamstring) is cleared to return from the 10-day injured list.

White Sox's Sean Burke: Fans eight in no-decision
Rotowire
Burke didn't factor into the decision Monday against the Orioles after allowing two runs on four hits and three walks while striking out eight over 5.1 innings.
Burke continued his stretch of strong outings and has now surrendered two runs or fewer in each of his previous three appearances. He gave up one run in the first inning and one in the third, but he was otherwise able to avoid trouble despite issuing three free passes. Burke also tied his season high in strikeouts Monday and has racked up 22 punchouts in his last 19 innings of work.
White Sox's Noah Schultz: On track to start Wednesday
Rotowire
White Sox manager Will Venable told reporters Monday that Schultz (knee) is on track to be activated from the 15-day injured list ahead of Wednesday's start against the Orioles, LaMond Pope of the Chicago Tribune reports.
Schultz made three starts during his rehab assignment, with his last taking place Friday with Triple-A Charlotte, when he tossed 74 pitches (52 strikes) while allowing two runs on three hits and two walks while striking out seven across 4.2 innings. The 22-year-old southpaw has progressed enough in his recovery from right knee tendinitis to return to the majors Wednesday and will look to improve on his stat line of a 5.82 ERA, 1.34 WHIP and 33:22 K:BB across 38.2 innings.

White Sox's Andrew Benintendi: Hitting bench Monday
Rotowire
Benintendi is out of the lineup for Monday's game against the Orioles.
Benintendi will be given a night off after he went 4-for-15 with a solo home run, a double and an additional run while serving as Chicago's designated hitter over the previous four games. Randal Grichuk will get a turn at DH in the series opener in Baltimore.
Teel went 1-for-4 with two RBI on Sunday against the Royals.
Teel delivered a two-RBI single in the second inning to account for his production on the day. He now has at least one hit in three of his four starts since making his season debut, and he also has two multi-RBI showings. Teel has been in the lineup for four of a possible six games, so he doesn't look to have extensive workload restrictions.

White Sox's Miguel Vargas: Homers, reaches base four times
Rotowire
Vargas went 2-for-2 with a two-run home run, a double, two walks and an additional run scored in Sunday's 5-4 loss to the Royals.
After Sam Antonacci drew a leadoff walk in the first inning, Vargas opened the scoring with a 407-foot two-run homer. He later doubled and drew two free passes, reaching base in all four plate appearances. Vargas has now hit safely in six straight games, batting .435 (10-for-23) with three homers during that span. Through 81 games this season, he owns an .866 OPS while slugging his way to 19 home runs, 14 doubles, one triple, 52 RBI, 56 runs scored and 10 stolen bases.

White Sox's Anthony Kay: Knocked around in loss
Rotowire
Kay (6-3) took the loss Sunday against the Royals, allowing five runs (four earned) on seven hits while striking out two and walking one over 3.2 innings.
Kay threw 44 of his 73 pitches for strikes and was unable to slow Kansas City's offense, allowing at least one run in every inning he pitched. The outing continued what has been an up-and-down season for the left-hander, who has alternated strong performances with difficult ones. After striking out eight over six scoreless innings in his previous start, Kay followed it up with Sunday's rough outing. He'll carry a 4.50 ERA, 1.43 WHIP and 65:31 K:BB across 80 innings into a rematch against Cleveland, this time on the road.

White Sox's Noah Schultz: Completes third rehab start
Rotowire
Schultz (knee) struck out seven and allowed two earned runs on three hits and two walks across 4.2 innings Friday in a rehab start with Triple-A Charlotte.
Making the third start of his rehab assignment, Schultz built up to 74 pitches (52 strikes) and induced nine whiffs while averaging 95.4 mph with his four-seamer. The White Sox haven't confirmed Schultz's next step, but from both a workload and velocity standpoint, he looks ready to return from the 15-day injured list. Schultz could slot back into the White Sox rotation as soon as Wednesday in Baltimore.
Montgomery went 2-for-4 with an RBI on Saturday against the Royals.
Montgomery grounded into a double play in the second inning, but he had three consecutive productive at-bats thereafter. He now has at least one hit in five of his last seven starts while also walking four times with six strikeouts in that span. Montgomery is hitting .246 across his first 63 plate appearances in the majors, though he's gone 8-for-25 (.320 average) with four extra-base hits in his last seven games.
White Sox's Grant Taylor: Earns third win Saturday
Rotowire
Taylor (3-1) earned the win against the Royals on Saturday, striking out four over two perfect innings.
Taylor entered a tie game in the eighth inning and needed just 19 pitches to log two perfect frames. It snapped a streak of five straight outings in which the 24-year-old allowed at least one run, and he's now worked multiple frames in five of his past nine appearances. For the year, he's notched two saves and five holds to go along with a 2.83 ERA, 1.14 WHIP and 60:12 K:BB across 41.1 innings.

White Sox's Davis Martin: Holds Royals scoreless Saturday
Rotowire
Martin did not factor into the decision in Saturday's 2-1 win over the Royals, allowing four hits and one walk with three strikeouts over 5.1 scoreless innings.
Martin kept the Royals off the board and fell two outs shy of a quality start, throwing 54 of 87 pitches for strikes with only seven whiffs. The 29-year-old has now rebounded from a nine-run blowup June 16 with two strong outings, allowing just one total earned run over 11.1 innings. He'll take a 3.00 ERA, 1.18 WHIP and 90:24 K:BB across 93 frames this season into a road matchup with the Guardians next week.

White Sox's Kyle Teel: Taking seat Saturday
Rotowire
Teel isn't in the lineup for Saturday's game against Kansas City.
After going 2-for-5 with a homer, three RBI and two runs scored in Friday's blowout victory, Teel will grab a seat on the bench while Drew Romo starts behind the plate, batting ninth.

White Sox's Tyler Schweitzer: Back in majors
Rotowire
The White Sox recalled Schweitzer from Triple-A Charlotte on Saturday.
Since being sent down to Triple-A in mid-May, Schweitzer has posted a 7.71 ERA and 1.86 WHIP across 21 innings at Charlotte. Despite his poor performance, he'll return to the big leagues to give Chicago a bit of extra bullpen depth following David Sandlin's demotion. Schweitzer will likely be limited to low-leverage work as long as he's up with the White Sox.

White Sox's David Sandlin: Sent down to Triple-A
Rotowire
The White Sox optioned Sandlin to Triple-A Charlotte on Saturday.
Sandlin gave up just one run over six innings during his start against the Royals on Friday, but he'll now head back to Triple-A with Noah Schultz (knee) expected to rejoin Chicago's rotation next week. Tyler Schweitzer was recalled from Charlotte in a corresponding move.
