How Chicago White Sox's Mike Tauchman, Andrew Benintendi and Michael A. Taylor navigate the ‘dog days' of August
ATLANTA — The All-Star break is well in the rearview mirror. The September stretch run for contenders and spoilers is still ahead. But currently, teams are navigating the period commonly known as the 'dog days.' The Chicago White Sox roster is filled with rookies who are working their way through this phase of the season for the first time as big leaguers. Manager Will Venable is monitoring several areas. 'How guys are moving out there, what they look like, checking in on them individually,' he said on Sunday in Kansas City, Mo. 'We have a performance group that does a great job in kind of managing workloads and communicating with me directly on what certain guys might need. 'Just trying to do our best to stay in tune with guys and their energy levels and make any adjustments we need to with our pregame work, with giving guys a day, whatever it might be.' Venable remembers the support he received from teammates his first couple of years going through this stage as a major-league player. 'You're all in this together,' Venable said. 'To have guys that you can lean on for advice, for energy, whatever you can get from the people around you is huge and helps you navigate tough times. 'Our group being close-knit like they are, our older guys will help these younger guys get through it and we're all in it together.' Sox outfielders Mike Tauchman, Andrew Benintendi and Michael A. Taylor are among those who have been there and done that. 'This part of the season is what you make it, right?' Tauchman told the Tribune. 'At this point of the season, people have been playing, everybody's probably dealing with something, right? Prioritizing rest, being in communication with the training staff, coaching staff, about being efficient with your workload on certain days. Knowing your body, things like that — they're always important, maybe more so this last six weeks or so of the season.' Tauchman, who is in his eighth season in the majors, noted the importance of establishing recovery habits early in a career. 'The faster you can learn how to work efficiently — everybody works hard, you want to work efficiently, too,' Tauchman said. 'A lot in this game is experience and then learning from that experience is kind of the thing there. Experience is only good if you learn from it. Every year you try to get a little better about listening to your body, what works for you, what doesn't work for you.' Benintendi, who is in his 10th major-league season, told the Tribune the dog days are 'definitely a thing.' 'You get to this point of the year, things start to linger, nagging things,' Benintendi said. '(And) it's hot as hell outside. 'You've just got to keep going.' He echoed Tauchman's thoughts on taking care of the body. 'Getting in the training room and doing what you have to do to feel the best you're going to feel that day,' Benintendi said. 'It's not going to be 100% every day. The little things, too, when you're young, you can kind of get away with a lot of things. The older you get, it's a little tougher. You've got to get in there and get the work in.' Taylor, who is in his 12th major-league season, said one of the challenges during this portion of the year is the heat. The Sox felt that over the weekend, with game-time temperatures above 90 degrees at the start of each contest against the Kansas City Royals at Kauffman Stadium. 'Over the years, I've learned that it is a marathon and you have to pace yourself,' Taylor told the Tribune. 'It's easy to be excited about the beginning of the year and opening day and kind of overdo things early on in the year. So, kind of understanding how long the season is and pacing yourself and your work, being as efficient as possible in getting ready for the games.' Those steps can be helpful as clubs near the final chapters of the season. 'I think this is a really fun time of the year, too,' Tauchman said. 'You're either competing for a playoff spot, you have an opportunity to finish the season strong, you have the opportunity to play — I think we have the opportunity to play spoiler, we've been playing pretty good ball the second half. 'But yeah, the season is a grind. The last third, you've really got to power through.' The Sox placed pitcher Owen White on the 15-day injured list with a right hip impingement. He suffered the injury in the eighth inning of Monday's 13-9 win against the Atlanta Braves at Truist Park. White has a 9.00 ERA in three relief appearances. In Tuesday's corresponding move, the Sox recalled pitcher Elvis Peguero from Triple-A Charlotte. The Sox claimed Peguero off waivers from the Milwaukee Brewers on Aug. 3. He served as the opener for the Sox on Aug. 11, allowing one earned run in 1 2/3 innings against the Detroit Tigers.

Cameron Heyward proves yet again that all hold-ins must eventually end
Another day, another hold-in ends. Like they all do. Like they all will. That's the biggest problem with a hold-in. Yes, the player avoids the daily training-camp fines, which for many players can't be waived by the team. At some point, however, it's time to go to work. That's the reality of being under contract. The contract eventually will be honored, by preparing for and playing in games. While a player who cites an injury (real, embellished, or fabricated) can milk the absence into the regular season, Steelers defensive lineman Cameron Heyward didn't claim to be injured. He wasn't practicing because, as he explained it to reporters, he's looking for his contract to be addressed. 'When I signed [last year], I told them, you know, when I have an All-Pro year, expect me to come back,' Heyward said last week. 'I think everybody giggled a little bit, but in my head, I used it as motivation.' They giggled, perhaps because he had just signed a three-year contractual commitment. They giggled, perhaps because they knew that, even though he vowed to come back after he has an All-Pro year (which happened), there was nothing in the deal that required them to give him another penny. No incentives. No escalators. Nothing. That's the difference between Heyward and a player like Cowboys linebacker Micah Parsons. Parsons signed a slotted, non-negotiable deal as the 12th overall pick in the 2021 draft. The Cowboys had the right under the Collective Bargaining Agreement to exercise a fifth-year option, at a predetermined salary. Parsons negotiated, as it relates to his total pay, nothing. Heyward, as a long-time veteran, negotiated and signed a new contract less than a year ago. He could have allowed his contract to expire. While riding first-team All-Pro distinction, he could have gotten more, from the Steelers or from another team. He took the bird in the hand, with no promise of two in the bush. Or anything else. The hold-in hadn't gotten him a revised deal. At some point, it was time to get ready for Week 1. That time isn't a few days before the regular-season opener. The player needs to be ready to play. For Heyward, the moment arrived today, with roughly three weeks to prepare. The Steelers could still decide to change his contract. They're not required to. And we'll find out soon whether it happens. The Steelers have a longstanding rule of not doing contracts once the season begins. Regardless of whether a new deal happens, the hold-in was always going to end. They all do. Except when the player, like Parsons, is practicing not in a stated effort to get a new deal, but because he is injured. Or, as the case may be, 'injured.'
