Here’s what people were saying about the news:
@ChiSoxFanMike: “This sucks a lot but it’s time for Jacob Gonzalez to show what he can do. Next man up.”
@Tbain91: “Idk man maybe the White Sox are cursed.. still relieved that’s all it is cause that had me stressing”
Noah Phalen: “The Sox will have to make a 40-man move to get Gonzalez on the roster. Might as well activate Austin Hays too and DFA Acuna to make it work”
@haffball7: “This sucks. Doesn’t feel good. However, this team has the fight, discipline, and grit to keep winning games. Nearly every position player on this roster contributes to wins. Gonna find out how resilient this team is”
@NotCease: “That sucks. A whole lot. Time to figure out what this team is made of…”
Sam Phalen: “What a win for the #WhiteSox tonight, but what a devastating blow at the same time. Hamstring can be scary. They’ll miss his bat greatly. Get Jacob Gonzalez up here and fingers crossed it all translates.”
