Why was Clarkin scratched yesterday?

Rob Young‏ @RobertHYoung 9m9 minutes ago #WhiteSox LHP Ian Clarkin was scratched from his start the other night with a minor injury, per source. No DL trip yet, Sox being cautious

 

 

DL right oblique

Quite injury prone

What happened to Matt Cooper? Hasn't pitched in a month or so, had some rough outings before that. Thanks

Random thought, but I didn't realize how close Luis Robert and Eloy Jimenez are in age.

Kopech, Hansen and Dunning are all in the top 12 of all minor league pitchers in strikeouts this season.

IMO, by year-end Kopech should be the #1 pitching prospect in the game with Hansen around 50th overall & Dunning in the 75 to 100 range. Nothing wrong with dominating high A ball in your first full professional season.

White Sox signed RHP Al Alburquerque to a minor-league deal and assigned him to AAA Charlotte. And Casey Gillaspie activated from DL at AAA.

Did not know this...

 

James Fegan‏ @JRFegan 15h15 hours ago Micker Adolfo says he's been close friends with Eloy Jimenez since they were 14, clearly excited about the prospect of playing together

ROSTER MOVE: #Intimidators receive RHP Mick VanVossen from @WSDashBaseball, place LHP Andre Davis on DL (retro to 8/8).

 

Game tonight 7:05pm

 

Tatis JR. first 18 year old ever to reach 20/20 in a minor league season. Stats are crazy since April 21st.

Where would he be on our Top Prospect List?

Top 5, no question. Can even argue top 3 once Moncada graduates after Eloy and Kopech. (I'd personally put him ahead of Robert, but they're close)

He'll likely eventually be #1 in all of baseball but hey at least Lucas Giolito credits his slightly improved consistency to James Shields

It kills me that Tatis Jr is doing so well. And I don't like to cheer for a player to suck and his career end. But even if he did suck and never made it to the majors it would still be a net positive compared to what Shields gave us the last 2 years and (hold on while I puke) next year

When/where will Ryan Burr report?

Ryan Burr officially joins the Dash. The Dash bullpen now has two dueling arms, Hamilton and Burr

Thanks. I was hoping he'd start at Birmingham.

Agreed. No idea why D-Backs had him in low A for so long. He looks too advanced for high A as well, but I'm sure the Sox want their coaches to get a close look at him first. Maybe he moves quickly next year.

Tatis is super exciting and likely to be a consensus top 30 prospect next year. But he also has struck out 30% of the time in low A ball and is hitting just .276. I will wait to crown him a future preferential all star until I see him show this kind of power and plate discipline against more polished pitching. But no doubt Hahn chose the wrong guy.
