Blake Rutherford (rf) 1-for-4, R, BB, K (.194 BA, .710 OPS)
Yeah, sometimes these updates are wafer-thin. But hey, there are only two left!
Rutherford was the only White Sox player in action tonight. He’s been almost exclusively in right field and exclusively batting leadoff since the Fall Stars Break. That hasn’t been performance-driven, given that .194 batting average, so the guess here is the plan all along was to get Rutherford some leadoff time in the fall. If I recall my minor league updates accurately, it seems Luis González was the more frequent leadoff man for Birmingham this season .
