Adam Engel - Swipes 11th baseEngel went 0-for-4 with a stolen base in a 5-3 win Sunday over Detroit.
ImpactEngel reached on a force out and stole second base in the second. It was his 11th stolen base in 13 attempts this season. Sunday was just his third start in the last 18 contests. Since the All-Star break, the 30-year-old is 3-for-28 with 13 strikeouts. For the season his slash line has dropped to .235/.286/.337 and he appears to have turned into nothing more than a late-inning defensive replacement for the White Sox.

Kendall Graveman - Picks up sixth saveGraveman earned the save Sunday against Detroit, allowing a run on two hits while striking out one in the ninth inning in a 5-3 win.

Harold Castro launched a solo homer with one out but Graveman was able to get the final two outs and preserve the victory for Chicago. It was his first save since July 2. The 31-year-old has been a bit shaky since the All-Star break, allowing five runs in nine innings while walking six batters.

Lance Lynn - Fans seven in winLynn (3-5) earned the victory Sunday over Detroit, striking out seven in six innings while allowing two runs on five hits.
ImpactAll the damage against Lynn came in the third inning when three hits and a wild pitch led to two runs. After that he cruised through the last three innings, facing the minimum as he erased the only hit with a double-play. The veteran is beginning to look more and more like himself and has a 3.34 ERA, 0.91 WHIP and 34:2 K:BB in 29.2 innings over five starts since the All-Star break. His next start will likely be at the end of the week in Cleveland.

Tyler Alexander - Allows nine baserunners in lossAlexander (2-7) took the loss Sunday against the White Sox, allowing three runs on six hits and three walks while striking out two in five innings.
ImpactAlexander navigated the first four innings fairly well, pitching around trouble other than allowing a solo homer to AJ Pollock in the third. In the fifth, he got hit hard and two doubles and a single led to two more runs. Since returning to the rotation at the end of July, he is 0-4 with a 3.86 ERA, 1.19 WHIP and 10:5 K:BB in 21 innings across four starts. His next start will likely be next weekend against the Angels.
