The White Sox provided a quick health update on Tony La Russa ahead of tonight’s game against the Royals. La Russa is out indefinitely, with Miguel Cairo taking over. We’re still not sure what is actually going on, as questions have been left unanswered.
Bench coach Miguel Cairo will continue to serve as acting White Sox manager in La Russa’s absence.

Most players found out like the rest of us — on Twitter.
Vaughn said there was a team meeting after Tuesday’s game. Vaughn said he found out about TLR’s absence on Twitter: pic.twitter.com/ihLKhPlp1j

And if that wasn’t bad enough, Rick Hahn has yet to speak on the matter. Instead, Miguel Cairo was awkwardly interviewed while sitting in the dugout during the pre-game show.
So the @whitesox put it on Miguel Cairo to be the ranking representative of the organization addressing La Russa’s departure?

So let’s see what Tony La Russa advised his understudy to do with the lineup.
I take it back. Cairo might be worse. https://t.co/JQftDYjYmd

Lance Lynn is back and had a perfect first inning, even striking out the most annoying Royal other than Prince Charles, Nick Pratto.
yuuuuge strike out for Lynn

Death, taxes ...
Bases loaded 1 out and they don’t score. I am shocked. This has never happened before.

I don’t know if I should consider this a fun fact or a sad fact.
Elvis Andrus is the 13th different White Sox leadoff hitter this season - that ties the franchise record set in 1976.

Deep sigh.
White Sox drew three walks first time through order against Bubic but have two zeros on the board.

This game has been rather uneventful, still scoreless in the third. But Lance Lynn is great!
Threes are wild: Lance Lynn (No. 33) has thrown 33 pitches after 3 innings. #WhiteSox

I spoke too soon. It’s 1-0, Royals.
I have Bobby Witt Jr in fantasy. I’ll allow it.
— Ali White (@aliwhitesox) September 1, 2022
At least the Sox didn’t allow any additional runs.
Nice double play turned by Josh Harrison to Romy Gonzalez

AJ Pollock immediately ties it up!

I think I’ve seen this film before, and I didn’t like the ending.
7 baserunners in 4 innings and the only run you score is a solo home run. This team just does the same thing over and over and over
— Nick (@Nick_BPSS) September 1, 2022
Elvis Andrus, with his first home run in a Sox uniform, makes it 2-1!

OK! Gavin Sheets makes a terrific, albeit terrifying catch.
It wasn’t very graceful, and probably relatively routine for an average outfielder, but good job by Gavin making the play.
— Trooper Galactus (@TrooperGalactus) September 1, 2022
It’s true. And it stayed fair to load the bases with no outs.
ROMY WITH THE BEAUTIFUL BUNT

White Sox have the bases loaded and nobody out?
— Bennett Karoll (@TheBennettK) September 1, 2022
If they score 2 here it's the turning point for the season.
So far we’ve got two in, making it 4-1. See everyone at the parade!
— BeefLoaf (@MrDelicious13) September 1, 2022
I think Lance Lynn is back?
Lance Lynn last 9 starts: 62 strikeouts, 4 walks

Romy González is having himself a night.
Romy Gonzalez has two hits, a run scored and jumped out of his cleats for a nice catch on a liner well over his head in the eighth.
— James Fegan (@JRFegan) September 1, 2022
Two walks for Grandal tonight!
WHY DO WE LIKE YAZ
— whitest sox u'know (@god_of_Flannel) September 1, 2022
The Royals are doing their best to rally in the ninth. A Sheets flub didn’t help. It’s 4-2, with two outs.
