Former Minnesota Twins DH Nelson Cruz, who has 25 career home runs in 107 games against the White Sox, was the Rays’ biggest acquisition in July. In 2019 Cruz hit three homers in a game against Sox starter Lucas Giolito with distances of 430, 473 and 433 feet. Giolito is set to start Friday’s game. Cruz is hitting .202 with seven home runs in 22 games since joining the Rays. The Sox could’ve signed him last offseason, but instead Cruz re-signed with the Twins.

In denying the order after a four-day hearing, Judge Dianna Gould-Saltman said that according to the 27-year-old San Diego woman’s testimony, Bauer followed her boundaries when she set them, and he couldn’t know the boundaries she didn’t express to him.
Lynn’s personality meshes perfectly with Sox fans. He spews profanities walking off the mound as if it’s an art form. He called himself a “big (bleep)” during a conference call, and defended Yermín Mercedes in the “unwritten rules” controversy, even while La Russa was the one on the other side of the issue. He signed a two-year, $38 million extension with an option to stay on the South Side, likely costing himself several million on the free-agent market. And he’s got a big belly, which Sox fans have always appreciated in a player.
Riley Ridley, the outside receiver on that side, is aiming to get an outside release against cornerback Noah Igbinoghene, hoping to get him to turn his head away from you. Ridley is running a go route, but, as Bears coach Matt Nagy often says, he’s mostly a decoy “running for the joy of the game.”
“I wrote on my card, I think I wrote, ‘amazing, amazing escapes,’ ” La Russa said. “He is just never going to quit competing. Never. No matter what the odds are, no matter what the situation is. He just competes, competes — and he’s got a lot to compete with. Those were really quality hitters.

“I went up to (Goodwin) and he was OK, he understands and he was dealing with it,” Sox manager Tony La Russa said Wednesday. “A lot of teammates reached out to him. You see it happen. It’s just like when somebody gets beaned, nobody likes it and everybody’s concerned. The game goes on, but in Brian’s case, if you’re a pitcher and you threw the ball and you bean somebody, you have some kind of accountability there. But for a hitter, you just hit it, you can’t aim it. It’s somewhat different.”
