Astros ace Lance McCullers' status uncertain for ALCS vs. Red SoxMcCullers was lifted early Tuesday as Houston clinched its ALCS series
Carlos Rodón - Takes loss in Game 4Rodon (0-1) allowed two runs on three hits and two walks while striking out three over 2.2 innings in a loss to the Astros on Tuesday in Game 4 of the ALDS.
ImpactAs Russell Dorsey of The Chicago Sun-Times notes, Rodon was pitching at less than 100 percent after arm and shoulder trouble crept up over the final couple months of the regular season. You couldn't tell early on, as Rodon was pumping fastballs in the high 90s and looked dominant through two innings, though he was eventually touched up a bit in the third before his exit. This may very well have been Rodon's last start in a White Sox uniform; he's never going to be a workhorse, but Rodon pitched brilliantly in his 132.2 innings during the regular season and will likely have several multi-year offers in free agency.

Gavin Sheets - Lone bright spot in Game 4Sheets went 2-for-4 with a double and home run in Tuesday's 10-1 loss to the Astros in Game 4 of the ALDS.
ImpactHe got the start at DH with the White Sox's season on the line and accounted for all of the team's offense with his second-inning homer off Lance McCullers. Sheets went 4-for-12 in the series after an impressive .250/.324/.506 debut during the regular season (54 games). The roster is crowded, but Sheets would seems to have the inside track on a roster spot heading into spring training 2022.

Jose Altuve - Doubles, homers in series clincherAltuve went 3-for-5 with a double, a home run, four runs scored and three total RBI in Tuesday's 10-1 win over the White Sox in Game 4 of the ALDS.
ImpactAltuve's long ball off Liam Hendriks put an exclamation point on the game and the series, sending the White Sox home and Houston to its fifth straight ALCS. While Altuve's batting average didn't get back up to .300 and the running seems to be a thing of the past, he showed he's still a forced to be reckoned with at the plate with 31 homers, 83 RBI and 117 runs scored during the regular season.
