Bonus material, Mike Soroka gets switched out Steven Wilson.
Chuckie sits, but Brooks subverts Nicky Lopez at second base and gets his first major league start tonight:

Nick Senzel, picked up in a flurry of moves yesterday, slots in as the new, regular third baseman. Let’s see if he can even hit at the Sosa Line.
Chris Flexen takes the pill to start the second half.
For the third-place and playoff-pushing Royals:

If you’re teased by the subhed, I can’t tell you its meaning. This is a Brett secret. But when the White Sox get there ... and it’s an amazing when, if they make it ... it’s gonna blow your mind. We have a whole 10 weeks to find out!
Usual broadcast suspects. On that note, The Onion had a reminder for the White Sox today.
