Ricky Renteria confirmed today that while Dallas Keuchel was responding to treatment and should be fine going forward, he’s being skipped in the rotation and will next step to the rubber in Chicago against the Minnesota Twins next week. That means both Saturday and Sunday’s White Sox starts have starters TBA. Technically, with tomorrow’s day off, Dylan Cease could come back on Sunday. Neither Carlos Rodón nor Reynaldo López seem like they’re walking through that door any time soon. We’ll see!

José Abreu is shooting for a career-high 22-game hitting streak. And the White Sox are shooting to stay in first place.

It’s Roberto Clemente Day, and the White Sox are lucky to be playing in Pittsburgh for it. It’s past time for MLB to recognize Clemente and retire his No. 21 throughout baseball — a move that manager Ricky Renteria seemed to support in his pregame session today:
Ricky Renteria on Roberto Clemente Day: "It speaks to the man. He was a great player and great humanitarian. Everyone knows how he passed, giving to others. If you retire his jersey [for all MLB], it would be hugely symbolic."#Retire21

I believe it would lead to Minnie Miñoso getting some overdue credit for his role as a Black and Latin American pioneer, as well.
