    Michael Zagaris/Getty Images The Chicago White Sox, ever a representation of organizational clarity and functionality, have once again graced us with a series of roster moves that one can only describe as... well, peak White Sox. First, let’s look at the tale of Tim Elko. For at least a month, the denizens of White Sox Twitter were clamoring for the promotion of the Triple-A slugger. Elko was absolutely mashing in Charlotte.

Rebilas-Imagn Images Charlotte Knights 8, Round Rock Express 0 (Statcast box)The Charlotte Knights flexed their offensive muscles, launching five dingers en route to a dominant victory over the Round Rock Express, bringing their record back to .500 at 24-24. The home run brigade started early for the Knights, as they jumped out to a 3-0 lead in the first inning on solo blasts from newly demoted Brooks Baldwin, Kyle Teel, and Korey Lee.

    Michael Reaves/Getty Images The Chicago White Sox once again found a way to snatch defeat from the jaws of victory, falling to the Seattle Mariners this afternoon by a score of 6-5. The loss came largely thanks to a first-inning three-run tank by Julio Rodríguez and a late-game surge by the visitors. Despite a comeback effort and a power display of their own, the South Siders couldn’t overcome early deficits and the continued struggles of their bullpen.

    Geoff Stellfox/Getty Images It’s rubber match day at Rate Field! The Chicago White Sox (15-34) are looking to take the series against the Seattle Mariners (27-20) today after an exciting 1-0 win last night. After going 7-7 over their first 14 games in May, the South Siders hit a rough patch, losing five straight. However, last night’s nail-biter win against the M’s snapped that skid, providing a much-needed morale boost for a team that desperately needs it.
