Lopez is out of the lineup for Friday's game against the Mariners.
Despite right-hander George Kirby being on the mound for Seattle, Lopez will take a seat Friday. Brooks Baldwin will play second base while Paul DeJong fills in at shortstop.
Cannon (1-5) took the loss Thursday against the Rangers, allowing two runs on eight hits and two walks over six innings. He struck out one.
Cannon was excellent at limiting damage, inducing three double plays and turning in his fourth quality start of the year despite tying his season low in strikeouts. The rookie entered Thursday's outing having not allowed a home run in three straight starts, but that streak was broken in the third inning when Marcus Semien lifted a solo homer. In eight starts since being recalled from Triple-A on June 7, Cannon has a 3.88 ERA with a 27:11 K:BB across 46.1 innings. He's on pace to face the Royals early next week.
White Sox's Garrett Crochet: No plans for shutdown
Rotowire
The White Sox do not plan to move Crochet to the bullpen or shut him down this season, Jon Heyman of the New York Post reports.
Heyman also writes that Crochet will be on a "normal workload as a starter" until the end of the regular season. However, given that manager Pedro Grifol went on record last month that Crochet's workload would be managed, Heyman might just be referring to the pitcher continuing to take regular turns in the rotation. The lefty being pulled early from outings still seems likely. Of course, if/when Crochet is traded, the plan could change. Interestingly, Heyman also adds that Crochet would request a contract extension from the team that acquires him in order to agree to pitch in October. Crochet has already thrown 111.1 innings in 2024, which is 26 more than he had thrown in his entire pro career coming into the season.

White Sox's Chris Flexen: Takes third straight loss
Rotowire
Flexen (2-10) took the loss against the Rangers on Wednesday, allowing three runs on seven hits and two walks over 4.2 innings while striking out three.
Flexen struggled throughout the contest, allowing multiple baserunners in four of the five frames in which he took the mound while throwing just nine of his 23 first pitches for strikes. The right-hander has now allowed multiple runs in six consecutive starts and has failed to get through five innings in each of his last two. Flexen has also issued multiple walks in three straight outings and currently holds an 18:11 K:BB in July to go along with a 5.60 ERA.
Lee is out of the lineup for Wednesday's game against the Rangers.
Chuckie Robinson will receive the starting nod behind the plate after Lee caught both of the White Sox's last three games and five of the past six contests. The night off might do Lee some good; the 25-year-old backstop is slashing .135/.135/.270 with no walks and a 35.1 percent strikeout rate since the beginning of July.

The 29-year-old outfielder is slashing .199/.256/.313 with eight homers on the year and is 6-for-20 (.300) at the plate over his last five starts.

White Sox's Garrett Crochet: Goes four innings in loss
Rotowire
Crochet (6-7) took the loss Tuesday against the Rangers, allowing two runs on four hits and two walks across four innings. He struck out seven.
Crochet threw only 74 pitches Tuesday, a result of the White Sox monitoring his workload down the stretch of the 25-year-old's first season as a starter. Both runs attributed to Crochet came in the first inning, with Adolis Garcia plating Robbie Grossman on a single and Josh Smith stealing home during a double steal. Crochet hasn't gone deeper than four innings in his last three starts, and he's logged a 3.07 ERA with 157 strikeouts in 111.1 innings on the year. The left-hander is tentatively scheduled to face the Mariners on Sunday.
Pham is absent from the lineup for Tuesday's game against the Rangers.
Pham homered in Monday's extra-inning loss to the Rangers, but he will begin Tuesday's contest on the bench. Gavin Sheets will be deployed in right field by the White Sox.
