Lucas Giolito - Roughed up by Astros Giolito (9-7) allowed seven earned runs on eight hits with five strikeouts and one walk across three innings to take the loss Thursday against the Astros.
Impact Giolito was hit hard throughout the outing. He surrendered a total of four extra-base hits and was tagged with at least seven earned runs in a start for the third time this season. Entering Thursday's appearance, Giolito had allowed more than three earned runs only once in his last four outings. Despite that solid stretch, Giolito has an ugly 5.34 ERA across 116.1 innings for the season.

Jonathan Stiever - Throwing off mound Stiever (lat) is throwing bullpen sessions at the White Sox's spring training facility in Arizona, James Fegan of The Athletic reports.

Luis Robert - Puts in full workout White Sox manager Tony La Russa said Robert (wrist) is scheduled to put in a full workout Thursday, but the skipper is uncertain if the outfielder will be ready to start in Friday'...
Impact Robert is out of the lineup for a sixth consecutive game in Thursday's series finale with the Astros, but he should be available in a pinch-running capacity like he was in Wednesday's 3-2 loss. La Russa said that Robert is dealing with more of a bruise than a sprain to his left wrist, so at this stage, the 25-year-old's main focus is ensuring he can swing the bat effectively while managing discomfort. How Robert responds to his batting session in the cage Thursday will likely be the key factor in the White Sox determining his availability heading into the weekend.

Aaron Bummer - Steps back on mound Bummer (shoulder) completed a 26-pitch bullpen session Thursday, James Fegan of The Athletic reports.
Impact The side session was Bummer's second since he was placed on the injured list June 12 with a left lat strain, but he incorporated his full arsenal Thursday for the first time. Bummer will still require another bullpen game and a simulated game or two as he works to build up his velocity, but if he remains free of setbacks during the ramp-up process, he could be ready to embark on a minor-league rehab assignment before the end of August. Before landing on the IL, the lefty reliever posted a 3.06 ERA, 1.58 WHIP and 21:9 K:BB in 17.2 innings while collecting one save and nine holds.
