Davis Martin - Six shutout innings Martin came away with a no-decision Wednesday against the Athletics, allowing two hits and one walk while striking out four in six scoreless innings.
Impact Martin cruised through six innings on just 82 pitches, even bringing a no-hitter into the fifth inning before an Abraham Toro single broke up the bid. Martin exited the game leading 2-0 and in line for the win, but Touki Toussaint promptly gave up three runs in the seventh, resulting in a no-decision for Martin. The 27-year-old Martin has taken over Erick Fedde's rotation spot since the trade deadline and will continue to make starts for the White Sox, especially with Drew Thorpe (flexor) out for the foreseeable future. Martin owns a 3.65 ERA, 1.46 WHIP and 12:7 K:BB across 12.1 innings (two starts) this season. His next start is scheduled to come next week against the Yankees.

Dominic Fletcher - Sitting against righty again Fletcher is out of the lineup for Wednesday's game against the Athletics.
Impact Fletcher appeared to be headed for a strong-side platoon role in the White Sox outfield after he was recalled from Triple-A Charlotte on July 29, but he now finds himself on the bench for the fourth game in a row and the second straight matchup with a right-handed pitcher. Rather than committing to Fletcher in a regular role in right field alongside Luis Robert and Andrew Benintendi, Gavin Sheets has continued to receive playing time at the position, while the White Sox have rotated a number of different players at designated hitter.

Nick Senzel - Stuck in bench role Senzel is out of the lineup for Wednesday's game against the Athletics.
Impact Senzel looked as though he might move into a more prominent role for the White Sox in the aftermath of last Tuesday's trade deadline, but he's started in only four of the ensuing eight games since the deadline. Though Paul DeJong is now out of the White Sox's infield mix, the club has prioritized Lenyn Sosa over Senzel for the open spot in the infield. Senzel hasn't helped his case for earning playing time by going 3-for-27 with seven strikeouts since signing with the White Sox over the All-Star break.

Korey Lee - Resting for day game Lee is out of the lineup for Wednesday's game against the Athletics.
Impact Lee logged all nine innings behind the plate in the White Sox's 5-1 win Tuesday night, so he'll be given a rest as the two teams wrap up their series Wednesday with a day game. Chuckie Robinson will handle catching duties for Chicago.

Jonathan Cannon - Picks up second win Cannon (2-5) earned the win over the Athletics on Tuesday, allowing one run on six hits and two walks while striking out five over six innings.
Impact Cannon was finally able to pick up his first win since June 18 despite allowing three runs or fewer in five of his eight starts since then. Tuesday was his sixth straight start going at least six innings and his five strikeouts were the most in a start since he had seven June 12. Though the strikeout numbers aren't much, Cannon's ability to throw strikes and work deep into games has been huge for the White Sox rotation that hasn't been able to get much length outside of his starts, The 23-year-old rookie owns a 3.91 ERA, 1.28 WHIP and 51:20 K:BB in 76 innings and lines up to face the Yankees next week.

Luis Robert - Pilfers two bags in win Robert went 1-for-4 with two steals and a run scored in Tuesday's win over the Athletics.
Impact Robert reached twice via a fielder's choice in the first and a base hit in the fourth and stole second base both times he got on. He led the American League in steals in July and this was his third time this season stealing multiple bases in a game, bringing him up to 17 for the season. Though the White Sox finally ended their 21-game losing streak Tuesday night, Robert has still struggled to find a groove at the plate over the last month. Since July 6, he's slashing just .177/.225/.292 with two homers, eight RBI and seven runs. His OPS also dropped below .700 for the season after Tuesday's effort. For the year, Robert is slashing .211/.277/.421 with 12 homers, 26 RBI, 28 runs, 17 steals and a 21:89 BB:K in 249 plate appearances.

Andrew Benintendi - Goes deep in win Benintendi went 2-for-4 with a two-run homer and a double in Tuesday's win over the Athletics.
Impact Benintendi has now homered for the second time in three games and has five RBI over that span. He's notched at least a hit in 10 of his last 11 games, slashing .316/.350/.605 eight RBI and six runs scored. With Tuesday's effort, Benintendi's OPS has surpassed .600 for the first time this season. The only other full season he's had an OPS under .700 was 2023. The 29-year-old is now slashing .210/.263/.343 with 10 homers, 46 RBI, 29 runs, two steals and a 23:64 BB:K in 350 plate appearances.
