White Sox rally for 3 runs in ninth, beat Guardians 5-3 as teams await discipline for nasty brawl

Elvis Andrus knows he’ll one day miss playing at Progressive Field. The Guardians won’t miss him. Andrus, who has tortured Cleveland pitching throughout his career, hit a two-run single after Chicago tied it in the ninth inning on consecutive throwing errors by rookie Bryan Rocchio, sending the White Sox to a 5-3 victory Sunday. Andrus went 3 for 5, raising his career average to .376 (74 for 197) with nine homers, 30 RBI and 36 runs in Cleveland. While he was with Texas from 2009 to 2020, the 34-year-old had a 39-game hitting streak here. “I don’t know, man,” Andrus said […]

Max Scherzer settles in, strikes out 9 to win Rangers debut

Three-time Cy Young Award winner Max Scherzer settled down after a shaky start to win his debut for the American League West-leading Texas Rangers, striking out nine over six innings and getting some help from his new teammates as they defeated the Chicago White Sox 5-3 on Thursday. Four of Chicago’s first five batters reached base in a three-run first inning when Scherzer (10-4) threw 37 pitches. The White Sox then had three singles in the second, though Scherzer benefitted from a double-play grounder and an inning-ending strikeout to prevent any more runs. Scherzer, acquired from the New York Mets in a trade over the weekend and […]

Back from non-Hodgkins Lymphoma, Hendriks pitches for White Sox

Chicago White Sox reliever Liam Hendriks permitted two runs on three hits and a walk to the Los Angeles Angels on Monday, his first outing since recovering from non-Hodgkin’s Lymphoma. Hendriks, 34, got several standing ovations, both before he took the mound and when he entered the match in the top of the eighth inning. He pitched one inning. “It was definitely emotional,” Hendriks stated after the 6-4 loss. “It was humbling going out there and seeing the amount of people wearing my shirts, the amount of people having signs or flags or anything like that — the amount of people that were chanting when […]

Chicago Bulls guard Lonzo Ball will miss the remainder of the 2022-23 season, the team revealed Tuesday morning, as Ball continues to experience discomfort during basketball activities despite arthroscopic knee surgery before the season. Ball did not appear in a game this season and has not played since Jan. 14, 2022.

Chicago Bulls optimistic after Lonzo Ball’s knee surgery ‘went well’ but uncertain when he will return

The Chicago Bulls expressed optimism on Thursday following guard Lonzo Ball’s latest surgery to address the lingering discomfort in his left knee, but his timeline to return to the court remains unclear. Bulls coach Billy Donovan met with director of athletic performance Chip Schaefer, who was in Los Angeles earlier in the week for Ball’s surgery, before practice on Thursday and received reports that Ball’s second knee operation since January “went well” and that Ball was in good spirits. However, Donovan acknowledged that until Ball resumes his rehab process, it’s difficult to determine when the Bulls might get their point guard back. “You […]
