Luis Robert - Reaches three times in return Robert went 1-for-3 with two walks and a run scored Thursday against the Rangers.

Impact Robert was in the lineup for the first time since July 15, and he hit second while serving as the designated hitter. He tallied his lone hit in the first inning and managed to score a run after a leadoff walk in the third frame. Robert could continue to get some regular rest after a lengthy absence caused by lightheadedness and blurred vision, but his return provides a boost to both fantasy managers and the White Sox's lineup. Across 328 plate appearances on the season, Robert has managed a .301/.338/.460 line with 12 homers and 11 stolen bases.

Johnny Cueto - Goes the distance in loss Cueto (4-5) took the loss during Thursday's 3-2 defeat at the hands of the White Sox, allowing three runs on 11 hits with four strikeouts in eight innings.

Impact Cueto kept the ball in the zone all game with 76 of 106 pitches going for strikes and issued zero walks for the third time in 15 turns, though the 11 hits are the most the 36-year-old has surrendered. Still, he induced an impressive 12 swinging strikes and was only done in by a rough seventh inning that featured two runs and four singles with two failing to leave the infield. Despite the loss, Cueto still features a 2.91 ERA and 1.19 WHIP and lines up to face off against Kansas City midweek.

Reynaldo López - Ramping up Lopez (back) threw a bullpen session Wednesday and will throw a sim game over the weekend, Daryl Van Schouwen of the Chicago Sun-Times reports.

Impact Lopez was placed on the injured list July 28, but the move was retroactive to July 25. It was hoped that he would have only a minimum stint, and this ramp-up schedule suggests he could be activated when first eligible Tuesday. Lopez has been a key part of the White Sox's bullpen, maintaining a 2.98 ERA, 1.06 WHIP and 44:8 K:BB across 42.1 innings for the season.

Gavin Sheets - Not starting Thursday Sheets (ankle) isn't starting Thursday against the Rangers.

Impact Sheets is out of the lineup for a second consecutive game as he continues to deal with a bruised ankle. However, he was available as a pinch hitter Wednesday, and it wouldn't be surprising to see him available off the bench once again Thursday. Andrew Vaughn is shifting to right field while AJ Pollock starts in center.

Jake Diekman - Strong start with White Sox Diekman threw a scoreless seventh inning with two strikeouts to earn a hold Wednesday against the Royals.

Impact The White Sox have wasted no time utilizing their only acquisition at the trade deadline, as Diekman has pitched both Tuesday and Wednesday. He worked the sixth and seventh innings respectively, tallying a hold on each occasion. Though Diekman won't factor into the saves picture without a number of injuries in the bullpen, it appears that he will have a high-leverage role with his new club.

Liam Hendriks - Picks up another save Hendriks picked up the save Wednesday against Kansas City, allowing no runs on no hits while striking out one and walking none over one inning.

Impact Hendriks was lights out Wednesday, needing 11 pitches to get three outs to close out the game. He earned his 21st save of the year, good for eighth most in baseball. The veteran righty saw his ERA spike to 3.48 in July after allowing a string of five runs across three innings, but Hendriks has pitched well since then. His ERA now sits at 3.19.

Lance Lynn - Strikes out eight in win Lynn (2-4) earned the win against the Royals on Wednesday, allowing one run on four hits while striking out eight and walking none over six innings.

Impact Lynn pitched well Wednesday, throwing 57 of 89 pitches for strikes across six frames and allowing just four baserunners. He limited the damage to one solo shot and did not allow any free passes. The eight strikeouts tie Lynn's single game high for this season. The veteran righty has struggled to get things going this year, picking up his third quality start in ten games. Opponents have scored four runs or more in half of his starts this season, so this could potentially be a turning point for him. Lynn will take a 5.87 ERA into his next start.

José Abreu - Three-run homer in win Abreu went 2-for-4 with a three-run home run in Wednesday's 4-1 victory over the Royals.

Impact Abreu launched a three-run blast in the third inning that scored Tim Anderson and Eloy Jimenez and put the White Sox up 4-0. It was his 14th home run of the year. The first baseman now has homers in back-to-back games and has nearly matched his total of three home runs in July. Abreu has been one of the hottest hitters in baseball since the start of June and is continuing to perform well, going 4-for-13 for a .308 average to begin August.
