Hunter Renfroe Out Of Monday's Lineup

Los Angeles Angels outfielder Hunter Renfroe is not in the team's starting lineup for the series opener against the Chicago White Sox on Monday.

Tim Anderson Back At Shortstop For White Sox

Kolten Wong Returns To Starting Lineup Monday

Clint Frazier In Monday's Starting Lineup

Chicago White Sox outfielder Clint Frazier is in the starting lineup for Monday night's series opener with the Los Angeles Angels and left-hander Reid Detmers.

Yasmani Grandal Getting A Rest Monday

Chicago White Sox catcher Yasmani Grandal is not in Monday night's starting lineup for the series opener versus the Los Angeles Angels. Grandal started each of the last two contests but also entered Friday's series opener against the Red Sox as a pinch-hitter, earning some rest in the process. It's been another disappointing season at […]

Mitch Garver Back In The Lineup Versus Lefty
