#hugwatch officially commenced when Todd Frazier was a late, healthy scratch from the White Sox’ game against the Dodgers tonight.

Further bulletins as events warrant.
Update (9:11 CT): Bob Nightengale has the main Yankee prospect in return, and it still sounds like it’s Frazier-Robertson-Kahnle going to New York:
Blake Rutherford, the #Yankees, first-round pick in 2016, will be the prized Yankees prospect going to the @WhiteSox.

Update: 9:34 CT: MLB.com’s Mark Feinsand adds another name to fill out a suddenly depleted White Sox bullpen.
