Shane Smith made an impressive mark in his major league debut, pitching five scoreless innings against the Minnesota Twins to secure his first win with the Chicago White Sox. This victory ends a painful 14-game losing streak at Target Field for the Sox, with notable offensive support coming from Miguel Vargas and Lenyn Sosa, both of whom contributed solo home runs. Vargas expressed his growing confidence at the plate, highlighting improved at-bats, and manager Will Venable praised the team’s resilience throughout their struggles in the series.

Smith’s performance was characterized by an aggressive approach, as he struck out seven batters, demonstrating his ability to regain control of counts after initial setbacks. His current ERA sits at a commendable 2.30 over five starts. Meanwhile, catcher Edgar Quero is showcasing his potential, registering multiple hits and maintaining a .333 batting average since his call-up from Triple-A. Bryse Wilson, filling in as a starter due to an injury in the rotation, also performed admirably, managing to limit damage despite a shaky start. The Sox's bullpen stepped up as well, with Jordan Leasure and Brandon Eisert helping secure the win, the latter achieving his first career save.

The Chicago White Sox have secured right-hander Bryse Wilson on a one-year contract worth $1.05 million, adding depth to their starting rotation. Wilson, who previously played for the Milwaukee Brewers, brings a 5-4 record and a 4.04 ERA from the last season.

With the departure of Garrett Crochet, the Sox's rotation remains uncertain, with several candidates vying for starting roles. General manager Chris Getz aims to bolster the team after two challenging seasons.

The Milwaukee Brewers are set for a potential overhaul in their starting rotation as right-handers Frankie Montas and Colin Rea head into free agency. Montas declined a mutual option worth $20 million, while the Brewers opted against Rea's $5.5 million club option, resulting in buyouts for both players.

This season, Montas recorded a 7-11 record with a 4.84 ERA, while Rea had a 12-6 record and a 4.28 ERA. Other notable roster moves include the New York Mets claiming Kevin Herget off waivers and the Chicago Cubs claiming Rob Zastryzny.
