White Sox Reacts Survey: Rebuild temperature check
Welcome to SB Nation Reacts, a survey of fans across the MLB. Throughout the year we ask questions of the most plugged-in Chicago White Sox fans and fans across the country. Sign up here to participate in the weekly emailed surveys.
This week, we would like to know how you're feeling about Rebuild No. 2. On the plus side, the White Sox currently sit three games better (18-48) than the 2024 team (15-45), and project to eight wins better overall, at 49-113. Is that enough?

At the current pace of improvement (roughly eight or nine wins per season), the White Sox won't be even a .500 team until 2029. That would also mean that the 'championship window' that was promised by the pain of the Rick Hahn rebuild yielded just one true, contending season, the 93-win White Sox of 2021. It will also mean that the White Sox, presuming the 2030s are mostly a winning decade (quite a stretch to believe given the '20s), are at least a decade away from being an overall winning franchise once again.

Guardians' Austin Hedges activated from 7-day injured list
SEATTLE (AP) — The Cleveland Guardians activated catcher Austin Hedges from the 7-day injured list prior to Friday night's game against the Seattle Mariners. Hedges, 32, was placed on the list retroactive to last Thursday after he was struck on the helmet on a backswing by the New York Yankees' Jazz Chisholm Jr. during a game on Wednesday. It marked the fifth time Hedges — who is hitting .113 with three home runs and three RBIs this year— has been placed on the injured list because of a concussion across 11 MLB seasons. 'They're all very similar, at least my version of them,' Hedges said. 'Apparently there's a handful of different types of brain injuries, and mine have been pretty consistent just at least with the symptoms. So, it was nothing new for me. Luckily this one wasn't very bad and didn't take that long to get over it.' Hedges said his symptoms started to clear up roughly three days removed from the incident. He visited a specialist in Pittsburgh prior to joining the Guardians in Seattle, one which he had worked with during his first stint in Cleveland from 2020 to 2022. Hedges said he was appreciative of the Guardians not rushing him back to play too quickly. 'We have such an amazing staff, and they're always looking out for all of us,' Hedges said. 'But, I felt like we handled everything perfectly and just happy that it was the minimum amount of time.' ___ AP MLB:

Max Scherzer makes first rehab start, pushing close to Blue Jays return
It was a big evening at Buffalo's Sahlen Field — friendship bracelet night, post-game fireworks and a Buffalo Bill defensive back throwing out the ceremonial first pitch. But the real draw was the 40-year-old starting pitcher on the mound. Making his first rehab start with the Buffalo Bisons, Max Scherzer threw 56 pitches for the Toronto Blue Jays' Triple-A affiliate. The veteran righty hadn't pitched in a formal contest since a three-inning Blue Jays debut on March 29. A thumb injury and back tightness have kept Scherzer from contributing to Toronto's strong start to 2025, instead relegated to cortisone shots and bullpen sessions. After two months away, Friday's rehab outing pushed Scherzer close to his Blue Jays return — and Toronto's rotation needs him. Advertisement The Jays had a simple checklist for Scherzer's first outing: Throw 60 to 65 pitches, flash solid fastball velocity and rebound well the next day. We'll see how the righty feels moving forward, but he mostly ticked the first two boxes. Scherzer ended his outing at 56 pitches, striking out four batters with no walks. His final two fastballs dipped below 90 miles per hour, but the righty averaged 91.9 mph on his primary pitch, just below his 2024 season average. 'I couldn't care less about his line score,' manager John Schneider said. The 50-pitch mark has been a big obstacle for Scherzer this year, as that's when the soreness in his right thumb flares up. After multiple shots in various joints and over two months away from games, the righty pushed past that barrier in Friday's fifth inning. He'll have to prove he can consistently surpass the barrier — and mitigate soreness between starts — before rejoining Toronto's rotation. 'Getting through that point and then seeing how he feels tomorrow,' Schneider said. 'I know he's talked about that 50 pitch mark quite a bit.' There was a slim chance Scherzer makes an immediate jump back to the big leagues, Schneider said before the veteran's rehab start. More likely, Scherzer will need at least one more outing in Triple A. He's expected to join the Blue Jays in Philadelphia, throw a bullpen session and likely return to the Bisons for another rehab outing. The Jays have used five different starters to cover Scherzer's spot in the rotation this year. With strong performances from Eric Lauer (2.37 ERA) and Paxton Schultz (3.06 ERA), Toronto has managed through the absence, but regular bullpen days and the struggles of fourth starter Bowden Francis have put pressure on the rest of Toronto's staff. A healthy Scherzer can relieve that pressure, eliminating the all-reliever games or pushing Francis into a new role to re-find his 2024 form. Advertisement Once one of the most reliable pitchers in baseball, making starts has been an issue for Scherzer the last few years. He's made just 37 total appearances since 2023 Opening Day, but has still been effective when he throws, owning a 3.84 ERA in that stretch. The well-located pitches and strikeout stuff flashed in Scherzer's Buffalo start, but that wasn't the main concern. It matters most how he, and his thumb, feel tomorrow. Toronto has managed through 69 games with just three stable starters, but it's not sustainable. Lauer, Schultz, Easton Lucas and José Ureña have all taken turns filling in the gap, but it was Scherzer who the Blue Jays paid $15.5 million to be that fourth guy. With Friday's start in Buffalo, the role may be filled soon.

D-Backs manager Torey Lovullo says Justin Martinez will undergo Tommy John surgery
PHOENIX — The Arizona Diamondbacks already have lost a top starter to an elbow injury; on Friday, they lost a top reliever. Manager Torey Lovullo said Friday that Justin Martinez will have Tommy John surgery and miss the rest of the season. In Arizona's June 9 win over Seattle, Martinez called for a trainer after striking out two and walking a batter in the ninth inning. He was placed on the 15-day injured list with a strained ulnar collateral ligament. Advertisement This has become a theme for Arizona, which has struggled to find footing in the National League West. The Martinez news comes days after the Diamondbacks lost Corbin Burnes with a torn UCL. Arizona in December had signed the ace right-hander to anchor the rotation along with Zac Gallen, and also to help the Diamondbacks return to the postseason. He made 11 starts. 'Sometimes this game is extremely tough and unforgiving, and it can just rip you apart,' Lovullo said. 'The way I look at it is, I've got 26 kids out there that are playing every single day, and when you see one or in this case four or five or six — maybe even more, I don't know what the exact number is — go down and you have to pull them off the field, it's painful. … Yeah, I'm over it. I'm definitely over it.' In March, the Diamondbacks signed Martinez to a five-year deal worth $18 million with the expectation that he would play a prominent bullpen role until he was ready for the closer's job. After a decent start, Martinez in May went on the 15-day IL with a shoulder issue. He returned but struggled to return to form. In 17 games, the hard-throwing right-hander had a 4.11 ERA with 22 strikeouts in 15 1/3 innings. This marks the second time Martinez will have Tommy John surgery. He also had the procedure in 2021 as a minor leaguer. Lovullo has had to juggle his bullpen all season, mostly because of injuries. Arizona relievers entered Friday's game against San Diego with a 5.21 ERA, which ranked 14th in the National League. Veteran right-hander Shelby Miller has filled in as Arizona's closer when needed and pitched well. Before the season, the Diamondbacks lost left-hander Jordan Montgomery to Tommy John surgery. They also have gone without top relief pitcher A.J. Puk, out since April because of a flexor strain. Lovullo said Friday that Puk's pitching program has been paused and that the pitcher will soon visit Dr. Neal ElAttrache in Los Angeles because of arm discomfort. Advertisement 'We got to exercise a lot of caution with usage of guys,'' said Lovullo, adding that the Diamondbacks aren't the only team to face such adversity. 'We've got to follow the protocols and the belief system that we have here with our medical team and really reinforce the thought that it's extremely important that these athletes have a breaking point and we can't get close to that.'
