Taylor (lat) is slated to pitch in the Arizona Fall League for the Glendale Desert Dogs.
Taylor missed LSU's 2023 national championship season following Tommy John surgery and missed most of this season with a lat strain, so this is a chance for him to make up for lost time. It's a weak crop of pitching prospects in the AFL, and Taylor has the stuff to stand out, headlined by a mid-90s fastball, low-90s cutter and a pair of breaking balls. He posted a 1.13 ERA, 0.63 WHIP and 25:1 K:BB in 16 innings over four starts for Single-A Kannapolis earlier this year.
Lee went 1-for-5 with two RBI and a stolen base Sunday against the Tigers.
Lee has split time with Chuckie Robinson in September after struggling for the second half of the campaign. Since the All-Star break, he has maintained just a .242 wOBA and .558 OPS. Top prospect Edgar Quero could be ready to challenge Lee for playing time early next season.

White Sox's Bryan Ramos: Shows power to close season
Rotowire
Ramos went 2-for-4 with a walk, two RBI and two runs scored Sunday against the Tigers.
Ramos started 14 games in September after being recalled Sept. 4. He showed some decent pop by collecting three homers and five total extra-base hits in 59 plate appearances. He hit just .208, but a 23.7 percent strikeout rate isn't all that concerning. Ramos should be in position to compete for the starting third base job in 2025.

White Sox's Luis Robert: Playing Sunday
Rotowire
Robert (ribs) is starting in center field and batting second in Sunday's game against the Tigers.
Robert has been dealing with soreness in his rib cage, which has kept him out of the lineup for the last two games. However, the 27-year-old outfielder will return for the regular-season finale. Since Sept. 1, Robert has slashed .237/.295/.313 with two RBI across 88 plate appearances.
Benintendi went 2-for-4 with a double, a two-run home run and a second run scored in Saturday's 4-0 win over the Tigers.
The 30-year-old outfielder tied his career high in the eighth inning with his 20th homer of the season, as he ripped a cutter from Ty Madden over the fence in right field. Benintendi has been one of the few bright spots in a futile season for the White Sox, and since the beginning of August he's hit .275 with 12 long balls and 33 RBI in 47 contests.

White Sox's Sean Burke: Blanks Detroit for second win
Rotowire
Burke (2-0) picked up the win Saturday, allowing two hits and three walks over five scoreless innings in a 4-0 victory over the Tigers. He struck out six.
The start of the game was delayed by over two hours due to rain, but Burke wasn't fazed by having to sit around in the clubhouse before taking the mound. The rookie right-hander tossed 84 pitches (49 strikes) in his final outing of the season, and in four September appearances with the big-league club, Burke put together an eye-popping 1.42 ERA, 1.00 WHIP and 22:7 K:BB over 19 innings. The 2021 third-round pick could head into spring training next year as a favorite to secure a regular rotation spot with the White Sox.
Sheets isn't in the lineup for Saturday's game against Detroit.
Sheets will take a seat Saturday after going 1-for-22 over his last seven contests. Meanwhile, Bryan Ramos will work as the designated hitter and bat sixth.

White Sox's Luis Robert: Out again Saturday
Rotowire
Robert (ribs) isn't in Chicago's lineup for Saturday's game against the Tigers.
Soreness near Robert's rib cage prevented him from playing in Friday's game, and the issue is apparently severe enough to warrant another absence Saturday. While Robert rests, Andrew Benintendi, Dominic Fletcher and Zach DeLoach will form Chicago's outfield trio.
