Kuechel to IL. Rey Lopez up to replace him in the rotation.

White Sox put Dallas Keuchel on IL, Reynaldo López returns from Schaumburg

We just picked up what will almost be a sure loss each time through the rotation. Seeing as he enters during a time where we're about to face MIN, CIN, CLE, CHC down the stretch. Replacing a guy who gave us a damn good outing all 9 times he was on the mound this season. Where we won 6 of those and probably owed him at least one more.

Reynaldo Lopez is the worst starting pitcher in baseball. He is utterly hopeless. I would rather ANYONE. I mean it, ANYONE, but him. How in god's name do you prevail in a tight division race with him in your rotation?

Not to mention, Giolito, Cease, Dunning... I hate to be that guy. But they've struggled with good competition.

I really hate to be this dude, but if this goes beyond 10 days? I think we go into a slide, finish 3rd, and with a low seed.

I backed off the ledge. It all screams "precautionary" and keeping him healthy for the Minny series. If Lopez only makes this one start we are fine. I just never wanted to his stupid mug again.

This injury scared me.

No problem the Sox just have to score 20 or more - the Sox would be throwing our old Fulmer in there if he was still around.

Don't you worry...Once Lopez steps on the mound you'll be back on the ledge...We all will...Holding hands...Jump inevitable.

I know it was the Tigers but I will happily take 5 innings from him every time he takes the bump.

Moncada seems to be coming around, and Colome has thrown a few 1-2-3 saves...the team is fine. Still 13 games to go before the playoffs*, time for Keuchel to get ready.

This year of course is Asterisk City, but maybe a young team will have less pressure in the playoffs* with no one in the stands?
