Rotowire
Burke is scheduled to start Sunday's game against the Padres in San Diego.
The rookie right-hander will receive a second turn through the White Sox rotation after he impressed in his first MLB start this past Sunday, holding the Athletics to two runs and striking out five over five innings en route to grabbing the win. For his second start, Burke will get a tough test against a Padres lineup that has produced a 117 wRC+ against right-handed pitching this season.
Sosa went 2-for-4 with a solo home run in Monday's 8-4 win over the Angels.
Sosa has been excellent in September, going 18-for-46 (.391) over 12 contests. His homer Monday was his first long ball since July 4, giving him five on the year as he continues to struggle to find power. The infielder has added 26 RBI, 20 runs scored, three stolen bases and a .242/.269/.325 slash line over 329 plate appearances.

White Sox's Miguel Vargas: Still chances for playing time
Rotowire
The White Sox intend to prioritize playing time for Vargas and Bryan Ramos down the stretch of the regular season, despite the return of Yoan Moncada (adductor) from the 60-day injured list, Kyle Glaser of MLB.com reports.
While Ramos appears to have the upper hand for chances at the hot corner, skipper Grady Sizemore stated in Monday's pregame press conference that he has no set plan to introduce Moncada back into the starting nine, and he'll continue to give both Vargas and Ramos plenty of playing time during the last few weeks of the season. Vargas will likely see opportunities to play at various positions around the diamond over the next 11 games as the club sets its sights on next year.

White Sox's Bryan Ramos: Should continue to see at-bats
Rotowire
Ramos is expected to see regular playing time even after the return of Yoan Moncada (adductor) from the 60-day injured list, Kyle Glaser of MLB.com reports.
Manager Grady Sizemore stated in Monday's pregame press conference that he doesn't have an immediate plan to slot Moncada back into the starting lineup upon his return, and the club would actually like to see what Ramos and Miguel Vargas can do over the last few weeks of the regular season. Ramos is 5-for-21 with two homers, three RBI and four runs scored in seven games since being promoted Sept. 4, and he figures to see consistent playing time at the hot corner or in the DH slot over the remaining 11 games of the 2024 campaign.

White Sox's Yoan Moncada: Returns from 60-day IL
Rotowire
The White Sox activated Moncada (adductor) from the 60-day injured list Monday.
Moncada is finally ready to return to action after being sidelined since early April with an adductor strain. He hit .342/.413/.537 with one home run over 12 games after resuming a rehab assignment with Triple-A Charlotte late last month. However, Moncada is not in Monday's lineup against the Angels, and manager Grady Sizemore stated before Monday's game that he doesn't have a concrete plan to get Moncada back into the starting nine, per Kyle Glaser of the Associated Press. Sizemore added that the club would actually like to see more of Bryan Ramos and Miguel Vargas at third base over the final two weeks of the season, likely to help make decisions about the future.

White Sox's Corey Julks: Sent to minors
Rotowire
The White Sox optioned Julks to Triple-A Charlotte on Monday.
He'll give up his spot on the 28-man active roster to third baseman Yoan Moncada (adductor), who was reinstated from the 60-day injured list. Since being acquired from the Astros in mid-May and reporting to Chicago, Julks produced a .581 OPS with three home runs and five stolen bases over 189 plate appearances with the White Sox. He mostly served as a short-side platoon player in the White Sox outfield, but Julks should get the chance to play on an everyday basis at Charlotte.

White Sox's Ky Bush: Recalled, shelved with tricep injury
Rotowire
The White Sox recalled Bush from Triple-A Charlotte on Saturday and placed him on the 15-day injured list with a left tricep strain, Scott Merkin of MLB.com reports.
Chicago optioned Bush to Triple-A on Aug. 26, and despite making a one-inning start for Charlotte on Sept. 7, he'll revert to the big club's 15-day IL after suffering the injury in that outing. Given the timing of the injury, Bush is unlikely to be activated before the season ends Sept. 29. Bush made four starts for the White Sox prior to his demotion in late August, logging a 5.60 ERA and 2.04 WHIP while walking more batters (16) than he struck out (11) over 17.2 innings.
