I know that Palacios was DFA by the Pirates. Did anyone pick him up
or is he at Indy?

He cleared waivers and the Pirates were going to outright him to Indy. He chose free agency. The White Sox signed him to a minor league contract, so he's back at AAA anyway. But I guess he felt there was a better opportunity there than with the Pirates.

He's getting his chance now - https://x.com/whitesox/status/191033963 ... 58/photo/1

Harrington optioned back to AAA. They sign 18 year old Stainer Valdez to a minor league contract.

I hope after one game they don’t bring back Bednar. Just a wild guess they may bring back Stratton.

If not Stratton then maybe Burrows. Starting tomorrow they have 10 straight games without an off day. If they want to insert a 6th starter it could be Burrows. He last started 4 days ago.

I am impressed by how well Stratton has recovered from his injury.

Nicolas was pitching poorly at Indy so this is surprising. Made 4 appearances there:

1. 1 IP, 3 hits, 3 ERS, 1 BB, 2 SO, 27, pitches
2. 1 IP, 1 hit, 0 ERs, 1 BB, 3 SO, 20 pitches
3. 1.2 IP, 4 hits, 3ERs, 1 BB, 2 SO, 30 pitches
4. 1 IP, 0 hits, 0 ERs, 0 BB, 1 SO, 15 pitches.

Total: 4.2 IP, 8 hits, 6 ERs, 3 BBs, 8 SO, 11.57 ERA.

At least the last outing was good, but took 15 pitches despite no walks or hits. He's had trouble throwing strikes at every level.
