Nastrini, 26, began his professional career in the Dodgers organization. They took him in the fourth round of the 2021 draft, and he worked his way up to Double-A Tulsa.

The Royals have won 33.3% of the games this season when they were favored on the moneyline, indicating a struggle to capitalize on their favored status.

General manager Chris Getz said after the Robert trade that the Sox would be "very active" in using that payroll space. Domínguez will make $8MM in the first season of his slightly backloaded deal. Even if the White Sox don't intend to reallocate all $20MM into this year's roster, there should be room in the budget for another addition. Getz acknowledged as much, saying on Thursday that the front office remains involved on both free agent and trade targets.

The White Sox announced they have outrighted outfielders Dominic Fletcher and Corey Julks, along with pitchers Elvis Peguero and , to Triple-A Charlotte. Chicago also lost Will Robertson via waivers to Pittsburgh, which brings their 40-man roster down to 35 players. Fletcher logged the most big-league time of the foursome this season. The 28-year-old appeared in a dozen games with the White Sox after getting called up in early September. He slashed .219/.265/.469 over 34 plate appearances. Fletcher only notched seven hits, but he made them count, swatting five doubles and a home run.

The White Sox announced today that manager Will Venable's coaching staff will be overhauled this winter. Specifically, the club announced that they will not be renewing the contracts of pitching coach Ethan Katz, hitting coach Marcus Thames, first base coach Jason Bourgeois, and catching coach Drew Butera. James Fegan of Sox Machine adds that Sergio Santos, who manages the club's Triple-A affiliate in Charlotte, will also not have his contract renewed.

His numbers on the season look good until you check under the hood. He has thrown 29 innings with a 2.48 earned run average. However, his 17.5% strikeout rate and 12.5% walk rate are both subpar figures. His 51.3% ground ball rate is pretty good but he has largely benefitted from a .197 batting average on balls in play and 89.5% strand rate.
