Andre Rienzo surrendered two runs -- one earned -- in six innings Thursday in a no-decision against the Twins. It's Rienzo's third quality start in four tries. It's also his fourth no-decision in four tries. This was the second time he's left with a lead and seen it get blown by the bullpen, as Nate Jones let this one slip away in the eighth. Rienzo has a 3.70 ERA so far. It looks like he'll get the Royals and Astros in his next two starts, so he remains a decent play in AL-only leagues.

Andre Rienzo allowed three runs -- none earned -- in seven innings in a no-decision against the Indians on Tuesday. Rienzo gave up five hits and walked three, striking out six in his major league debut. The right-hander started in place of Jake Peavy, who may be dealt in the next 18 hours.

White Sox recalled RHP Andre Rienzo from Triple-A Charlotte. Rienzo will start Tuesday night against the Indians in place of Jake Peavy, who was scratched and is likely to be traded. The 25-year-old right-hander owns a 4.06 ERA and 113 strikeouts over 113 innings this season in Triple-A and has been brilliant over the past two months. The Brazil native is worth securing in AL-only leagues on the chance he sticks.
