Noah Schultz will pitch in the All-Star Futures Game for a second straight season. The White Sox No. 1 prospect was one of 19 minor league pitchers selected for the game, scheduled for July 12 at Truist Park in Atlanta.

Jenks' 2005 teammates remembered him as someone special Friday, reuniting just a week after his death at age 44.

Braden Montgomery smiled in anticipation of playing in the 2025 All-Star Futures Game. But the honor of being just one of 50 minor leaguers selected in no way diminishes the humble 22-year-old's drive to be great.

Buehrle was the tarp-sliding, beer-drinking, between-the-legs-flipping life of the party during his dozen years with the Sox. Now he's immortalized on the Rate Field concourse forever.

Amazingly, the White Sox struck back once more, but only to tie. With Kyle Teel (walk) on third and Colson Montgomery (single) on first, Josh Rojas lifted a deep fly to left with one out that tallied Teel. But nothing more could come of the rally.

Mike Tauchman drove in Colson Montgomery with an infield single in the 11th inning, and the Chicago White Sox beat the Cleveland Guardians 5-4 to salvage a doubleheader split.

The 25-year-old Danvers native and Governor’s Academy product is 3-7 with a 4.26 ERA in 18 starts and 86⅔ innings after he was selected in December’s Rule 5 draft.

Former White Sox lefty Mark Buehrle was forever immortalized inside Rate Field as the team unveiled a statue in his honor on Friday.

Nolan Jones opened the inning with a single to left. Kyle Manzardo reached on a bunt single to move Jones to second. Martinez doubled past first for the lead and it looked like the Guardians were in a great spot to extend the lead with Manzardo at third, Martinez at second and one out. But appearances can be deceiving.

Twenty years on from a championship, details get blurred as stories only get better. But it’s right on the money to say the Sox never would’ve won it all had they not remade their roster in a tone-shifting manner.
