The seven innings Kopech pitched matched a season high, and this was the first time in seven starts he didn't walk multiple batters. The right-hander owns a 3.12 ERA, 1.20 WHIP and 81:46 K:BB through 95.1 innings in 19 starts. He's projected for a road start against the Rangers this weekend.

Jake Diekman - Dealt to White Sox Diekman was traded to the White Sox from the Red Sox on Monday in exchange for catcher Reese McGuire, Robert Murray of FanSided.com reports.

Impact Diekman has been fairly reliable this season outside of a few tough outings, but the Red Sox were willing to part with him in order to acquire another option behind the plate. Diekman has five wins and 12 holds this season, but he may not have as many opportunities to make a fantasy impact with his new squad.

Liam Hendriks - Strikes out two in save Hendricks gave up one hit and no walks with two strikeouts over one scoreless inning to earn the save in a 4-3 win over the Athletics on Sunday.

Impact Hendricks' shut-down performance earned him his 20th save of the season. The 33-year-old right-hander has now strung together two scoreless appearances in a row after giving up runs in three straight. Hendricks' 20 saves ties him for ninth best in the majors and he will likely see whatever remaining save opportunities the White Sox can produce down the stretch.

The 26-year-old right-hander's seven strikeouts now gives him 161 on the year, good for second in all of MLB. Cease will carry a superb 2.01 ERA into is next start which is tentatively expected to be a favorable one at Texas.
