“You have to take the day he goes out there, if it’s one inning and he gets quick outs, he’s right there now where he can be available the next day,” Sox manager Tony La Russa said Tuesday. “When he has two innings (like Monday), double the workload, then there’s no way he’s going to pitch (Tuesday). And most probably it would be wise to hold him out and give him two days’ rest.
The Bears practiced Tuesday without four defensive starters and four of their top 10 offensive lineman. That list doesn’t include offensive tackle Jason Peters, whose signing became official Monday.

Hermosillo — who went to high school in Ottawa, Ill., and signed to play football on scholarship at Illinois before the Los Angeles Angels drafted him in 2013 — earned a big-league promotion with his consistent production at Iowa.

He asked Meyer for a tryout after retiring from baseball in January. Meyer obliged and ended up giving him a one-year contract worth $920,000, the minimum for a player with three accrued NFL seasons.

Embiid averaged of 28.5 points and 10.6 rebounds last season and became eligible for the NBA’s super-max extension. Embiid, the No. 3 overall pick of the 2014 draft, suffered a tear in his right meniscus during the playoffs. He played through the injury and has emerged as Philadelphia’s franchise player.
“We owe those guys a little bit. I myself am very frustrated and I beat myself up still on how I performed in Game 2 (of the wild-card series) last year.
