Dominic Smith continues strong performance for Braves, batting .381 with 15 RBIs in 15 games as they face the Phillies.
The White Sox announced that left-hander Martín Pérez has declined his end of a $10MM mutual option for 2026. He will take a $1.5MM buyout and return to free agency. The Sox also announced that they triggered their club option on outfielder Luis Robert Jr., a decision that was previously reported. Pérez, 35 in April, is coming off a mostly lost season.
On Tuesday night, Martin Perez gave the Chicago White Sox everything they could have hoped for - and more. The veteran left-hander carved through the Kansas City Royals lineup with seven shutout innings, allowing just one hit before handing a 4-0 lead to the bullpen. But in a cruel twist that perfectly summed up the White Sox's 2025 campaign, that gem ended in disaster. Instead of earning a well-deserved win, Perez made unwanted MLB pitching history.
I was in my rhythm again and attacking from the first pitch. I think moving the ball very well, the strike zone in, was good for me today. I think we are doing a great job, man. We lost the game but it's part of the game. You've got to keep going.
