The White Sox made several roster moves, placing Bryan Ramos on the IL due to a quad strain, bringing back Danny Mendick, and recalling Corey Julks from Triple-A. Infielder Braden Shewmake was sent to Charlotte. Ramos impressed in his major league debut before the injury. Julks was acquired from the Astros and started against the Yankees.

Manager Pedro Grifol highlighted Julks' potential impact against upcoming left-handed pitchers. Lefty Nestor Cortes started for the Yankees in the matchup. Mendick returned from the IL with Shewmake being optioned after a slow start to the season.
