The Chicago White Sox picked up loss No. 100 on Sunday and are on pace for one of the worst seasons in Major League Baseball history with 31 games remaining on their docket.

This loss was a 9-4 result at the hands of the Detroit Tigers. Andy Ibáñez hit a home run and had three RBI for the Tigers in the win. Colt Keith also had three RBI for Detroit.

Andrew Vaughn gave a valiant effort for the White Sox. He had a homer and two RBI. Jonathan Cannon gave up five runs and eight hits in four innings.

The White Sox need to go 12-19 down the stretch to avoid tying the 1962 New York Mets, who were 40-120-1. That Mets team has the modern record for most losses in a season. The Cleveland Spiders have the all-time record with 20-134 in 1899.

Only the 1916 Philadelphia A’s reached 100 losses in fewer games than the White Sox. They were 29-100-1 at one point during that season.

Chicago’s most losses in a season came in 1970 when they were 56-106. They had a .325 winning percentage when they were 49-102-1 in 1932.

Chicago fired Pedro Grifol on Aug. 8 as the team continued to spiral. The team named Grady Sizemore the interim manager, and they are 3-11 under him.

Transgender golfer Hailey Davidson has moved on to the next round of Q School as she vies for her LPGA Tour card. 

Davidson had to finish among the top 95 golfers at Rancho Mirage in California this week during the LPGA Q-Series: Pre-Qualifying Stage. 

After finishing with a final round of 71 (1-under), her four-round total was 284 to finish tied for 42nd.

Davidson now moves on to the qualifying tournament, which will be held at Plantation Golf and Country Club in Venice, Florida, on Oct. 15-18. From there, if Davidson finishes among a certain number of golfers again, she can advance to the final qualifying tournament held in December in Mobile, Alabama. 

Davidson shot 72, 72, 69, 71 in her four rounds this weekend to finish 4-under par. 

The winner of the tournament, Ashley Menne, an amateur, was 16-under par after shooting 4-under (68) on the Dinah Shore Tournament Course, the same course Davidson shot 1-under on Sunday.

TRANS GOLFER DOESN’T ‘UNDERSTAND ATHLETES WHO BLAME A TRANSGENDER COMPETITOR ON THEIR OWN ATHLETIC FAILURES’

Davison, who nearly qualified for the U.S. Women’s Open this year, has caused controversy within the sport, particularly after comments about athletes who complained about competing against trans athletes like herself. 

“I will never understand athletes who blame a transgender competitor on their own athletic failures,” Davidson wrote on Instagram recently while practicing for Q School. “If you don’t take accountability for your failures then you will never actually be good enough to make it.”

Davidson also spoke out after the NXXT Women’s Pro Tour announced back in March that eligible participants must be a “biological female at birth” in order to compete in events.

“Effective immediately, I have been removed (banned) from the next 3 NXXT tournaments that I already signed up for and been approved to play,” Davidson wrote on her Instagram Stories at the time. 

“They changed their policy mid season, after me signing up already and being 2nd in Player of the Year race.” 

Davidson won the Women’s Classic on Jan. 18, which marked her first victory in more than two years. It also put her in position to earn an Epson Tour exemption at the end of the season, which is the official qualifying tour of the LPGA. 

However, the NXXT Women’s Pro Tour faced major backlash for Davison’s participation, and they changed the rules that effectively banned her from future competitions. 

“The NXXT Women’s Pro Tour’s policies, especially concerning gender, have been formulated in alignment with those of the LPGA and USGA. This approach is crucial in maintaining the integrity of our partnership with the LPGA and ensuring a fair and consistent competitive environment,” a statement from the Tour read at the time. “When Hailey Davidson joined the tour, she complied with these policies by providing necessary documentation, including validation from the LPGA and USGA, which also facilitated her participation in the 2022 Q-School.”

Meanwhile, the LPGA currently has an inclusion policy for transgender athletes who undergo surgery after male puberty, stating that transgender athletes have an “avenue to membership and opportunity to participate in events, and in an effort to assure fair competition for all members and participants.”

“An applicant for membership or entry into a tournament that has undergone gender reassignment from male to female after puberty must identify herself during the application/entry process and provide proof of gender in accordance with this Policy,” the LPGA Tour says. “Failure to provide proof of gender when gender has been reassigned, and to comply with the process and procedures set forth in this Policy, may result in disqualification from eligibility for membership and/or entry into a tournament. 

“If there is a genuine question as to the eligibility of any applicant, including via sponsor exemptions or qualifiers, the LPGA shall have the right, within its sole discretion, to require such athlete to substantiate her transitioned status in accordance with this Policy.”

The calendar will soon turn from August to September, and though the Dodgers have baseball’s best record following Sunday’s 3-1 victory over Tampa Bay before a sellout crowd of 52,464 in Chavez Ravine, their rotation is filled with enough questions to raise serious doubts about their championship worthiness.

Will ace Tyler Glasnow (elbow) and Yoshinobu Yamamoto (shoulder) return from injuries in time to front a playoff pitching staff? Can Clayton Kershaw and Walker Buehler, both struggling in returns from major surgeries, be counted on down the stretch? Will the inconsistent Bobby Miller regain his 2023 rookie form?

In Gavin Stone, the Dodgers may have found at least one answer.

The rookie right-hander gave up one run and three hits in seven strong innings Sunday, striking out seven, walking two and making only one glaring mistake, grooving a first-pitch sinker that Jonny DeLuca lined over the left-center field wall for a score-tying solo home run to lead off the seventh.

“When he’s getting strike one, he’s efficient, getting swing-and-miss, soft contact, that’s who he is, who we’ve come to know and appreciate, and we needed every bit of it today,” manager Dave Roberts said of Stone. “Gavin has done a good job kind of going through the highs, some lows, and trying to reset.”

Stone struggled during a five-week stretch from early July to early August, going 0-3 with a 6.91 ERA in six starts in which he yielded 45 hits, including eight homers, in 27 ⅓ innings.

But Stone appears to have regained his dominant first-half form, giving up only two earned runs and eight hits, two of them homers, in 19 innings of his last three starts in which he has struck out 23 and walked four to lower his ERA from 3.71 on Aug. 7 to 3.33.

“I don’t know the answer,” Roberts said, when asked how Stone, who went 9-2 with a 2.73 ERA in his first 15 starts this season, could be so bad for a month. “I don’t know if some of it was fatigue or if it was a little bit of you’re pushing to be an All-Star. I don’t know if some of it is the league making adjustments on him.

“But I know that he believes his stuff plays, and when he can get ahead and mix and match, keep guys off balance, he can still strike guys out and still go deep in games.”

Stone did not figure in the decision because the Dodgers broke a 1-1 tie in the eighth when Shohei Ohtani was hit on the inside of the left forearm by a 92-mph sinker from left-hander Richard Lovelady and Mookie Betts lined a first-pitch slider over the left-center field wall for a two-run homer and a 3-1 lead. X-rays on Ohtani’s forearm were negative.

The Dodgers improved to 78-53 on the season and maintained their three-game National League West lead over Arizona and a 4 ½-game lead over San Diego.

Stone retired the first 10 batters of the game before giving up a one-out single to Brandon Lowe in the fourth, but he got both Junior Caminero and Josh Lowe to pop out to first to end the inning.

Stone walked two in the fifth, including DeLuca to open the inning, but he escaped damage with the help of Kiké Hernández, who was making only his sixth start of the season in center field.

Ben Rortvedt followed DeLuca’s walk with a drive to the gap in left-center, but Hernández ran the ball down and made a lunging catch before crashing into the wall for the first out, most likely saving a run. José Caballero lined out to third base, Taylor Walls walked, and Jose Siri grounded out to first base to end the inning.

“I had a pretty good read off the bat, and I was trying to create an angle where the ball wouldn’t get in the sun for me,” Hernández said of his catch in the gap. “At that point, I was just trying to feel the warning track, feel the ball and throw the glove out there at an angle where I was going to be able to catch the ball, and it wasn’t going to come out when I hit the wall.”

Hernández then led off the bottom of the fifth by lining an 88-mph cut-fastball from Rays left-hander Jacob Lopez over the wall in left-center for his ninth home run of the season and a 1-0 Dodgers lead.

Caminero doubled off the left-field wall with two outs in the sixth, but Stone struck out Josh Lowe swinging with an 88-mph changeup to end the inning.

Stone tried to get ahead of DeLuca with a first-pitch, 93-mph sinker in the seventh, but DeLuca pounced on it, sending a 380-foot liner over the wall in left-center for his fourth homer of the season and a 1-1 tie.

“I just threw it over the middle of the plate, and he put a good swing on a pitch to hit,” said Stone, who threw 53 of his 80 pitches for strikes and induced 13 swinging strikes. “After you give up a home run like that, you just gotta refocus and get back in the zone.”

Blake Treinen threw a scoreless eighth inning for the Dodgers, and left-hander Anthony Banda added a scoreless ninth for his second save, blowing a 98-mph fastball by Caballero to end the game.

It’s far too soon to be formulating a playoff rotation, and there are too many variables that could alter the Dodgers’ pitching plans heading into October, but if Stone is called upon to pitch in the postseason for the first time, Roberts believes the 25-year-old will be up to the task.

“I think if he were to be in that position, I think he would thrive,” Roberts said. “I think he’s got a good heartbeat. He doesn’t scare off. He has the ability to command the baseball. I don’t think emotions would get to him. We’re evaluating who the best 26 players are, and right now, he’s earning that right.”
