Kittle Weds at the Park, Sox Reunite

Ron Kittle tied the knot at Guaranteed Rate Field Friday — right in Jerry Reinsdorf’s suite, with former teammates Harold Baines and Greg Walker in attendance — making him the only player to both marry and be married at the park. Kittle joked Reinsdorf timed it for the third inning, echoing his own wedding officiation last year. The same weekend saw a reunion for the 1983 AL West champs, including Tony La Russa, as Richard Dotson threw out the ceremonial first pitch. Kittle praised this year’s White Sox squad over recent teams. On the pitching front, David Sandlin was optioned to Charlotte, opening a spot for Noah Schultz — the 2022 first-round pick recovering from knee tendinitis and throwing seven strikeouts in a rehab start. Manager Will Venable confirmed Schultz is a rotation candidate, though no decision’s been made. Tyler Schweitzer was recalled to fill Sandlin’s spot. Venable is also staying in touch with Venezuelan stars Luisangel Acuña and Everson Pereira following devastating earthquakes that killed over 1,400. Pereira, placed on the 7-day concussion IL after a wall collision, remains sidelined and under close monitoring. Support the show:Get a discount at https://solipillow.com/discount/dnn.
