White Sox's Aaron Civale: Falls apart late in loss
Rotowire
Civale didn't factor into the decision Sunday against the Guardians, allowing four runs on three hits and two walks over 5.2 innings while recording three strikeouts.
Civale cruised through the first five innings while allowing just one hit, but he came undone in the sixth, giving up a three-run homer to Kyle Manzardo as part of a four-run frame that ended his outing. The 30-year-old has struggled to limit damage since joining the White Sox, surrendering four or more earned runs in three of his six starts with the team. Over that span, he's posted a 5.58 ERA with 15 walks and an 0-4 record, continuing a frustrating trend of inconsistency.

White Sox's Aaron Civale: Knocked around by Jays
Rotowire
Civale (1-6) allowed five earned runs on seven hits and two walks while striking out none across four innings to take the loss Tuesday against the Blue Jays.
Civale unraveled in the third inning by allowing five earned runs on five hits, including a home run and two doubles. While he held Toronto off the scoreboard in his three other frames, he wasn't fooling any hitters as he generated only one swinging strike on his 79 pitches. Civale has struggled for the majority of the season and now has a 5.40 ERA and 1.72 WHIP paired with a 14:13 K:BB across five starts since joining the White Sox.

White Sox's Aaron Civale: Downed by Dodgers
Rotowire
Civale (1-5) allowed five runs (two earned) on five hits and two walks while striking out four over five innings to take the loss versus the Dodgers on Thursday.
All of the damage came over the first three innings. Civale has pitched to a 4.29 ERA and 1.62 WHIP while losing three of his four starts with the White Sox. For the season, he's at a 4.60 ERA, 1.49 WHIP and 33:18 B:BB across 43 innings between the White Sox and the Brewers. Civale is projected to make his next start at home versus the surging Blue Jays, which makes him a risky fantasy option once again.

White Sox's Aaron Civale: Trouble finding plate Friday
Rotowire
Civale didn't factor into the decision in Friday's 3-1 loss to the Giants, allowing one run on three hits and four walks over four innings. He struck out four.
The veteran righty got only 40 of his 80 pitches into the strike zone before getting the hook with the game tied 1-1. It's the second time in three starts since joining the White Sox that Civale has issued four free passes, and he sports a 4.50 ERA, 1.69 WHIP and 10:9 K:BB in 16 innings for his new club. He's unlikely to nab his first win with Chicago in his next outing, which lines up to come on the road next week against the Dodgers.

White Sox's Aaron Civale: Tagged for five runs in loss
Rotowire
Civale (1-4) took the loss against Toronto on Saturday, allowing five runs on nine hits and one walk while striking out two across seven innings.
Civale put the White Sox on the back foot after yielding a leadoff home run to Bo Bichette before giving up three more runs on five singles in the second. Civale seemed to settle in and kept the Blue Jays off the board over the next four frames, but he was tagged for another run on a Vladimir Guerrero solo shot in the seventh. It was Civale's longest outing of the season, but it was the second start in which he allowed five runs, and he now sits with a 5.03 ERA and 1.47 WHIP across 34 innings. He'll look for his first win with the White Sox in his next start, tentatively slated for next weekend at home against the Giants.

Rotowire
The White Sox added Civale to their active roster Saturday.

White Sox's Aaron Civale: Traded to White Sox
Rotowire
The White Sox acquired Civale from the Brewers on Friday in exchange for first baseman Andrew Vaughn, Jon Heyman of the New York Post reports.
Civale requested a trade after being told earlier this week that he would be demoted to the bullpen, and Milwaukee has quickly accommodated the request. The veteran right-hander last pitched Monday, so he could join Chicago's rotation as soon as Saturday against the Rangers. Civale held a 4.91 ERA, 1.36 WHIP and 19:7 K:BB in 22 innings over his five starts with Milwaukee this season.

Brewers' Aaron Civale: Requests to traded
Rotowire
Civale requested a trade from the Brewers after manager Pat Murphy informed the right-hander Wednesday that he would be moved to the bullpen, Ken Rosenthal and Will Sammon of The Athletic report.
Civale is the odd man out of the rotation to accommodate the arrival of top prospect Jacob Misiorowski, who will be called up from Triple-A Nashville to start Thursday versus the Cardinals. However, Civale's agent, Jack Toffey, has formally made a request to Brewers general manager Matt Arnold that his client be traded to a team where he can continue being used as a starting pitcher. The Brewers are under no obligation to honor the request, but there should be interest in Civale if the club decides a trade is best for both parties. Civale has been limited to five starts this season due to a strained hamstring, posting a 4.91 ERA and 19:7 K:BB over 22 innings. The 30-year-old is making $8 million this season and is set to become a free agent this offseason.

Brewers' Aaron Civale: Shifting to bullpen
Rotowire
Brewers manager Pat Murphy said Wednesday that Civale will move to the bullpen for the time being, Adam McCalvy of MLB.com reports.
The Brewers are calling up right-hander Jacob Misiorowski from Triple-A Nashville to join the rotation Thursday, and Murphy wants to stick with a traditional five-man setup, so Civale will be the odd man out. Civale could eventually rejoins the rotation if Misiorowski struggles, although the Brewers hope to get Brandon Woodruff (shoulder/ankle/elbow) back from the 60-day injured list in the coming weeks.

Brewers' Aaron Civale: Pitches well against Red Sox
Rotowire
Civale allowed one run on three hits and a walk while striking out four in five innings Tuesday against the Red Sox. He did not factor into the decision.
Civale blanked the Red Sox through five innings while tossing 75 pitches. He returned for the sixth and was met with a ground-rule double from Ceddanne Rafaela, which ended his night. Rafaela would come around to score for the game's first run and leave Civale in line for the loss. Still, it was a needed bounce-back outing for Civale, who came in having allowed seven runs and four homers in seven innings this season. Civale lines up to make his third road start of the campaign next week against the Reds.

Brewers' Aaron Civale: Inefficient in return
Rotowire
Civale (hamstring) didn't factor into the decision in Thursday's 8-5 win over the Pirates after striking out three batters and allowing two earned runs on four hits and two walks in four innings.
Civale turned in an up-and-down performance in his first start for Milwaukee since March 30 after he had been on the 15-day injured list for nearly two months while recovering from a strained left hamstring. The 29-year-old right-hander has now given up four home runs over only seven innings this season, and he also hit a batter Thursday while throwing just 42 of his 73 pitches for strikes. Civale was operating under a restricted workload in his return, but he should be able to push his pitch count up to the 80-to-90 range in his next start, which will likely come early next week against the Red Sox in MIlwaukee.

Brewers' Aaron Civale: Scratched from rehab start
Rotowire
Civale (hamstring) didn't make his rehab start at Triple-A Nashville on Wednesday as originally scheduled, Curt Hogg of the Milwaukee Journal Sentinel reports.
The Brewers haven't officially named a starter for Thursday's game in Pittsburgh, so the decision to scratch Civale from his minor-league start could indicate that the 29-year-old righty will be activated early to pitch against the Pirates. If he ends up starting Thursday, Civale would presumably operate under a workload restriction, as he built up to just 60 pitches during his last rehab outing.

Brewers' Aaron Civale: Making rehab start Thursday
Rotowire
Civale (hamstring) will begin a rehab assignment with Triple-A Nashville on Thursday, Adam McCalvy of MLB.com reports.
Civale suffered a setback with his left hamstring strain in early April that delayed his recovery, but he's progressed well enough since then to be cleared to pitch in games. He'll be pitching Thursday for the first time in more than six weeks, so the right-hander will likely require at least a couple rehab starts before returning from the 15-day injured list.

Brewers' Aaron Civale: Suffers setback
Rotowire
Civale suffered a setback in his recovery from a left hamstring strain this week, Sophia Minnaert of FanDuel Sports Network Wisconsin reports.
Civale has been on the IL since the end of March due to his hamstring, and there's currently no telling how much of an effect his setback will have on his recovery timeline. He'll presumably undergo imaging to determine the extent of the damage, and the team will determine his next steps once the results come back.

Brewers' Aaron Civale: Managing hamstring issue
Rotowire
Civale departed Sunday's start against the Yankees after three innings due to left hamstring cramping, Todd Rosiak of the Milwaukee Journal Sentinel reports.
It wasn't immediately apparent that the right-hander suffered an injury, since the five runs, including three homers, he allowed seemed like enough to end his afternoon. The injury doesn't sound like a serious issue, but his status for the next turn through the rotation should receive some clarity in the next couple days. The Brewers can ill afford to lose another starter with Brandon Woodruff (shoulder) and Tobias Myers (oblique) on the IL while Jose Quintana is still ramping up in the minors.

Brewers' Aaron Civale: Goes just 4.1 innings in loss
Rotowire
Civale (7-9) took the loss against Arizona on Saturday, allowing three runs on three hits and three walks while striking out two batters over 4.1 innings.
Civale struggled with his control in the outing, throwing just 51 of 91 pitches for strikes and issuing three free passes. He also got dinged for a pair of home runs, which accounted for all three runs against him. It was the first time the right-hander has given up multiple homers in a game since July 21, and Saturday's outing was the first time he has failed to complete five frames since Aug. 23. Civale had been pitching well coming into the contest, posting a 2.42 ERA and 0.99 WHIP over 22.1 innings across his previous four starts.

Brewers' Aaron Civale: Fans seven in no-decision
Rotowire
Civale did not factor into the decision in Tuesday's 7-4 loss to St. Louis, allowing three runs on six hits and no walks over five innings. He struck out seven.
After going 3-1 with a 3.29 ERA in 27.1 August innings, the 27-year-old looked to be in trouble out the gate in this appearance, allowing two first-inning runs. However, Civale settled in and tossed two scoreless innings before being tagged by Paul Goldschmidt for a solo homer in the fourth. The right-hander wound up posting his fifth walk-less outing of the season, as he's now pitched to a 3.62 ERA, 1.18 WHIP and 29:10 K:BB across 32.1 innings since joining Milwaukee on July 3. Civale is expected to make his next start against the Giants in San Francisco next week.

Brewers' Aaron Civale: Settles for no-decision Saturday
Rotowire
Civale allowed two runs on seven hits and no walks while striking out three batters over 5.1 innings in a no-decision against Miami on Saturday.
Civale gave up a pair of runs in the second frame but otherwise kept the Marlins off the scoreboard. He departed with a one-run lead in the sixth inning but was prevented from picking up a win as a result of the Brewers' bullpen imploding in the seventh. Civale has now gone 18 straight outings since his last victory, and he has posted a 5.74 ERA over 91 frames during that span.
