Good morning. Here's the rundown:

LAST NIGHT: The White Sox lost their fourth in a row -- as well as the season series to Kansas City -- with a 7-4 loss to the Royals, but it's overshadowed by uncertainty over Tony La Russa's health.

TONIGHT: Lance Lynn faces Kris Bubic, and we'll see if Miguel Cairo continues to manage the team.

ON THE FARM: Birmingham, Winston-Salem and Kannapolis combine to go 0-3 while being outscored 19-2. Charlotte was rained out.

AROUND THE LEAGUE: Two AL Cy Young contenders are dealing with injuries, Aaron Judge hits his 51st homer, the Dodgers win their 90th, and the wild card races start to separate from the rest of the pack.
