The Chicago White Sox appointed Grady Sizemore as interim manager following the firing of Pedro Grifol, aiming to end their disastrous season on a positive note. Sizemore, a former All-Star and Gold Glove center fielder with minimal managerial experience, is known for his authentic and relatable approach. He took the helm just as the team snapped a 21-game losing streak, the worst in American League history. Sizemore's first game as manager was against the Chicago Cubs, with standout performances including home runs from Ian Happ and Cody Bellinger for the Cubs, and Andrew Vaughn and Andrew Benintendi for the White Sox. The Cubs, currently third in the NL Central, have a chance to build momentum after a series of recent victories. Meanwhile, the White Sox, with one of the worst records in modern baseball history, hope to avoid further infamy under Sizemore's leadership.
