Paul DeJong

DeJong's home run was his 17th of the season. He momentarily put the White Sox ahead by a run with a solo shot off Kirby Yates in the ninth inning. DeJong hit 14 home runs in his first 66 games this year, but has since cooled off. This was just his third home run in his last 28 games. He's hitting .225 with a .695 OPS and 38 RBI on the year.

Most had assumed that Senzel would see regular action at third base with the White Sox, but after starting his first game on Friday night, he finds himself on the pine for this one. Paul DeJong will slide over and cover the hot corner on Saturday while Nicky Lopez draws a start at shortstop and rookie Brooks Baldwin gets another start at second base.

In his first time taking the hill since landing on the injured list on June 23 with a left oblique strain, Bednar needed just 12 pitches (nine strikes) to dispatch of Eloy Jimenez, Lenyn Sosa and Paul DeJong in order -- including a punchout of DeJong. Hopefully this is a sign of things to come for the Pirates' right-hander. He has now converted 17 saves on the season while posting a 5.01 ERA and 1.08 WHIP over 32 1/3 innings of work.

The White Sox planned to revamp their infield Tuesday and followed through today after the rainout, shifting Lopez from second to short, Paul DeJong from short to third and Lenyn Sosa from third to second. Never in baseball history has the comparison phrase "rearranging the deck chairs on the Titanic" been more apt, but it does put Sosa at his natural position, which is good. It certainly does nothing for DeJong's trade value and makes one wonder if he'll still have a role after Yoan Moncada comes off the injured list. Lopez is a trade candidate, too, but he seems more likely to stick around, even if he's pushed into more of a mentor role in the second half.
