White Sox Minor Keys: July 13, 2018

News you can use:

*Baseball Prospectus released its updated Top 50 Prospects list. The Sox placed four — Eloy Jimenez (No. 4), Michael Kopech (No. 15), Dylan Cease (No. 30!) and Luis Robert (No. 32).

*Alec Hansen left his start after three erratic innings. The trainer came out to visit him in the third, and he seemed to point to his problematic forearm … yet he finished the inning. It was his only 1-2-3 frame, capped off by his only strikeout.

This is the main reason why Hansen wasn’t seen on the BPro list. He was the 40th-best prospect on its preseason rankings.

*Corey Zangari is now slugging .735 at Great Falls. You’ll see why below.

*Carson Fulmer made his first appearance out of the bullpen this season for Charlotte. It went well.

*Nicky Delmonico took his rehab stint up to Charlotte. It went well.
