Chicago White Sox stretched a 10-4 lead into six innings, with Kyle Teel supplying a two-run homer and four RBIs while Luis Robert Jr. added a three-run double as part of an 11-hit attack. Yet Atlanta mounted a late charge, with Drake Baldwin delivering a two-run go-ahead single in the eighth after a five-run seventh and two more in the eighth, flipping an eventual 11-10 Braves win. The Sox bullpen faltered late, and manager Will Venable owned the missteps while praising his club’s early offense and baserunning pressure throughout the night.

Fantasy takeaway: Teel and Robert Jr. carried the big-game value, while Andrew Benintendi and Michael A. Taylor contributed multi-category upside in a crowded Sox lineup. For the Braves, Baldwin’s late heroics highlight the depth and clutch potential of Atlanta’s role players. The game underscored how quickly a game can swing on late-inning bullpen breakdowns and timely hits, a reminder to weigh bullpen volatility in late-week lineup decisions.

Luis Robert Jr. blasted his 13th homer to ignite a six-run fourth, and the White Sox surged past the Braves 13-9 in Chicago’s high-scoring win. Chicago piled up 19 hits, with Andrew Benintendi and Kyle Teel joining in with four apiece, while Lenyn Sosa delivered a pivotal three-run shot as the offense rolled early and often.

Spencer Strider’s latest rough start continued the Braves’ slide, allowing seven runs and 10 hits in just over three innings. Michael Harris II stayed hot for Atlanta with four hits and a homer to extend his midseason surge, while Jurickson Profar supplied two homers in a losing effort. The late-inning drama saw Jordan Leasure strike out Eli White with the bases loaded to cap Chicago’s offensive outburst.

Fantasy takeaway: avoid chasing Strider’s recent results against a hot White Sox lineup, and consider deploying Harris II against pitchers with similar recent form. On the Chicago side, Benintendi and Robert Jr. offer steady fantasy floor exposure, with Teel continuing to contribute multi-hit games as he’s breaking out for the Sox. The series shifts as Bryce Elder faces Shane Smith in Tuesday’s rematch, with Chicago looking to sustain its offensive rhythm.

Chicago White Sox exploded for a season-best 13 runs in Atlanta, snapping a four-game skid with a shootout victory over the Braves. The offense finally woke up behind a trio of long balls and a six-run fourth inning that turned a lopsided game into a showcase for projection hits and depth pieces. Colson Montgomery left with left-side soreness, but young bats carried the day as Lenyn Sosa anchored the middle of the lineup with a 439-foot two-run shot in the sixth and a run-scoring single earlier in the contest. Brooks Baldwin set the tone with a 404-foot solo blast off Spencer Strider in the third, and Kyle Teel and Chase Meidroth added timely hits to keep the pressure on. Luis Robert Jr. joined the party with a two-run homer, ending a two-week drought and signaling a much-needed spark from the heart of the lineup. The Sox piled on after chasing Strider, taking advantage of a short bullpen night for Atlanta and padding the cushion late with Teel’s solo shot and Meidroth’s RBI hits to seal a 13-9 win. On the mound, Yoendrys Gómez navigated five innings with three earned runs as Atlanta briefly climbed back into it, while the White Sox announced a rotation shakeup, with Martin Pérez returning to start in Atlanta and Owen White being recalled to the bullpen. Outside the game, Colorado’s sinking season continued as the Rockies flirted with history, while Dodgers’ scraps of the past hinted at the broader sport’s volatility and the White Sox’s willingness to ride their young core to offensive upside.

The Detroit Tigers fell to the Chicago White Sox 9-6 in a rain-delayed game highlighted by a five-run fifth that saw Jack Flaherty tagged for five earned runs on eight hits across 4 1/3 innings. Six straight singles to start the fifth paved the way for a late surge that put Chicago ahead, with Gleyber Torres mixing in a misplayed ball that briefly opened the door for the visitors. Detroit briefly steadied, but stayed short on rally opportunities after the frame. Dillon Dingler then sparked a seventh-inning moment, pulling one over Luis Robert Jr. for a two-run homer that trimmed the lead to 6-3 before the bullpen kept Chicago ahead. The late offense wasn’t enough as Colton Keith added a three-run shot in the ninth to close the gap, sealing a tough night for fantasy managers who chased a comeback in a messy, multi-hour tilt. Flaherty’s line and the Tigers’ upcoming schedule will be critical data points for rostering decisions as the season winds down.

The Chicago White Sox's struggles persisted as they faced the Seattle Mariners, losing 4-3 in 11 innings. Despite having numerous opportunities, they could only manage a dismal 1-for-17 with runners in scoring position. Manager Will Venable highlighted the team's poor situational hitting and defensive lapses, particularly a wild throw by third baseman Josh Rojas that allowed the Mariners to tie the game. The Sox did see homers from Michael A. Taylor and Brooks Baldwin, contributing to their eight home runs in the series.

With Chase Meidroth placed on the injured list due to a thumb injury, the White Sox called up Jacob Amaya to fill the gap. Lenyn Sosa had been showing promise with a hitting streak and power at the plate, but ended the game hitless. Meanwhile, Luis Robert Jr. achieved a milestone by stealing his 100th base in addition to hitting his 100th career home run, joining an elite group in White Sox history.
