White Sox Lose Three-Time All-Star To Injury Just Before Postseason

The Chicago White Sox, a standout team this year with three straight seasons of at least 100 losses, are on the verge of securing a postseason spot. With just one win or a Texas Rangers defeat required to clinch their spot, the American League's weaker teams pose a realistic threat. The White Sox's main concern lies in their pitching performance.

After acquiring three-time All-Star Luis Castillo at the trade deadline, the team's struggles continued. Castillo, who had posted an 8.42 ERA in nine games this season, was moved to the bullpen due to his poor performance as a starter. This season has been particularly disastrous for Castillo, who had a 5.06 ERA in Seattle during his previous tenure.

While the White Sox may still be healthy enough to bring Castillo back if they make a deep postseason run, his health and performance remain a significant concern for the team's postseason hopes.
