Where to even begin?
Let's start with the positives and for once there are a lot of them from tonight's play.
- Yoan Moncada got the White Sox on the board by blasting Alex Cobb's curveball to center field for his seventh home run of 2018.
Ken Rosenthal of The Athletic confirmed the news. Castillo played every inning tonight, and it made for awkward television late with Steve Stone and Jason Benetti talking around what everyone was reading on Twitter about the news. Losing Castillo for 80 games is painful for the White Sox roster when you consider a lack of talent behind him on the depth chart. Making matters worse, Kevan Smith has been placed on the disabled list down in Charlotte. Just like that, there is a great mystery on who the White Sox will call up to help share the duties with Omar Narvaez.
Right around the time news of Castillo's pending suspension was making the rounds, Leury Garcia in the fifth inning stole second and third base giving him nine stolen bases on the season. While sliding into third, Garcia's front leg got caught in the infield, and he twisted it when trying to plant on the base. The Chicago White Sox are reporting that Garcia has a twisted left knee and more tests will be conducted with an update tomorrow. If Garcia does indeed go on the disabled list that is another roster spot Rick Hahn must find a replacement. Most likely it would be Charlie Tilson who is on the 40-man roster.
Quite the eventful night for the White Sox. It'll be a long one for Hahn to patch up the roster.
