White Sox fans are concerned about center fielder Luis Robert Jr. and starting pitcher Adrian Houser as the trade deadline approaches. The team’s bullpen, showcasing a 2.85 ERA since June 19, may also see changes, as playoff contenders seek reliable relief help. Despite being solid, right-handers Dan Altavilla and Steven Wilson have had recent struggles, which may lead to their trade as logical candidates. Altavilla’s troubling performance in a recent game caused his ERA to jump, while Wilson's recent outings have also affected his stats. Tyler Alexander has been more consistent, pitching well and lowering his ERA.
The Sox' relief corps entered play Saturday with a 2.85 ERA since June 19, the third-lowest in the majors.
At least they were before the crosstown series against the Cubs. Altavilla had a nightmarish outing in the Sox' 6-1 loss Saturday.
That's going to put any pitcher in a tough spot. I don't know how long it's been since we've seen a tough outing from Dan.
Wilson struggled against the Cubs on Friday, allowing two runs, four hits and a walk two nights after allowing two runs against the Rays.
