Bradish vows 'childish' lapse will not happen again after Orioles win

Bradish’s fifth‑inning lapse — dropping a throw from catcher Adley Rutschman and then failing to recognize Chase Meidroth advancing, allowing an unearned run that briefly put the White Sox ahead — nearly altered the game, but the Orioles rallied to win. Bradish owned the mistake, calling it “childish” and promising it won’t happen again, while he continues to work on command after Tommy John rehab as the bullpen blanks the opposition and Baltimore’s bats retake the lead.

Mike Vasil Heads to Tommy John, Out for White Sox in 2026

White Sox right-hander Mike Vasil will undergo Tommy John surgery and miss the 2026 season after elbow soreness in spring training. In 2025 he logged 101 innings over 47 appearances (including 3 starts) with a 2.50 ERA as a bulk-relief option, though advanced metrics were less favorable. With Vasil sidelined, Chicago will look to bullpen candidates such as Sean Newcomb, Erick Fedde, Chris Murphy and Tyler Gilbert, while Vasil accrues a full year of service time and remains controllable for at least four more years when he returns in 2027, with minor-league options intact.

White Sox land pitching prospect in Hicks-Sandlin swap with Red Sox

Chicago acquired right-hander Gage Ziehl from the Red Sox in exchange for Jordan Hicks and David Sandlin, with Boston taking on a portion of Hicks’s remaining $12.5 million salary; Ziehl, a 22-year-old former Yankees fourth-round pick, had been viewed as a strong pitching prospect by Chicago, while Sandlin was Boston’s No. 9 prospect last season. The move is part of Chicago’s ongoing payroll reshaping as they rebuild after several losing seasons.

White Sox land Domínguez on two-year bullpen upgrade

The Chicago White Sox agreed to a two-year, $20 million contract with reliever Seranthony Domínguez to bolster a rebuilt bullpen. A former setup man who has rebuilt after Tommy John surgery and added a splitter/curve last season, Domínguez could contribute in late innings and possibly close. The signing comes as Chicago reshapes its roster (including trading Luis Robert Jr. to the Mets to free payroll) and will require a corresponding 40-man roster move to finalize.

Mets shore up center field with Luis Robert Jr.

The Mets acquired center fielder Luis Robert Jr. from the White Sox for infielder Luisangel Acuña and pitcher Truman Pauley, taking on Robert’s $20 million salary for 2026 (with a $20 million option for 2027). Once a 38-homer producer in 2023, Robert has slumped to .223/.288/.372 with 28 homers over the past two seasons, but his elite defense and upside give New York a much-needed upgrade in center as they reshuffle their outfield around Juan Soto.

White Sox Knuckleball Pioneer Wilbur Wood Dies at 84

Wilbur Wood, the Chicago White Sox left-hander famed for his knuckleball, died at 84 in Burlington, Massachusetts. He started more games and pitched more innings in a season than any pitcher in a century, including a 376⅔-inning year in 1972 and four 20-win seasons, with a peak from 1971–75 before a 1976 knee injury ended his run. He finished with 164 victories and, while never a Hall of Famer, remains a durable symbol of the White Sox’s history.
