In Chicago baseball news, the White Sox organization announced plans to retire former shortstop and manager Ozzie Guillén's No. 13 jersey during an August ceremony, honoring his tenure with the club. While celebrating history, the front office is focused on the future, with General Manager Chris Getz confirming that the team will exercise patience regarding its top pitching prospects, electing not to rush them to the majors despite current rotation challenges early in the season to ensure proper development. Across the league, Shohei Ohtani broke out of an early plate slump, launching a decisive three-run home run in the third inning against the Washington Nationals to record his first RBIs of the young campaign providing a much-needed offensive spark.
