The Rundown

• White Sox are on their longest winning streak of 2018 thanks to some big performances this weekend. Is Lucas Giolito’s past five starts progress, or a mirage? Is this peak Carlos Rodon? Should Thyago Vieira and Tyler Danish get more high leverage opportunities?

• Our good friend, Jim Callis of MLB.com, joins the show to discuss MLBPipeline’s new Top 100 and the White Sox Top 30 prospects. What does he think of the current status of Eloy Jimenez and Michael Kopech? Will Dylan Cease become a starter in the major leagues? Who is the most improved, and how have injuries impacted some of the prospects?

• Preview the Yankees series, recap action in the Minor Leagues, and answer your questions in P.O. Sox.

The Rundown:

• White Sox shuffle players around in the minors, and no it doesn't involve Eloy Jimenez and Michael Kopech. Instead Nick Madrigal heads to Winston-Salem, and we wonder how much of a test he'll face there.

• The White Sox only won one game against Kansas City, but we discuss if the way Rick Renteria managed these three games will be the way he'll always manage the Sox, regardless of talent on the roster.

• Preview the Rays vs. Sox series which includes a Carlos Rodon vs. Blake Snell matchup.
