The White Sox Own the Week, Two Aces Cool
Who climbed and who cooled over the past week.
The scoreboard doesn't move much day to day, but the past week reshuffled a few things. Chicago's rookies caught fire, a couple of good arms went briefly cold, and the season's biggest bats mostly held serve. Here's who ran hot and who slipped.
Cooling on the mound
Of the strongest arms, the ones who shed the most form this week.
A few sturdy arms lost a little shine: Chase Burns slipped five points to a form of 71, while Michael McGreevy (down five to 55) and Gavin Williams (down four to 59) also cooled. These are dips, not alarms.

Hot at the plate
The week's hottest hitters — top OPS over the last 7 days (min at-bats), with their game line.
Tristan Peters had the loudest week of anyone, going 10-for-21 with five homers and nine RBI for a 1.828 OPS, and Seattle's Cal Raleigh matched the five-homer total at 1.558. Héctor Rodríguez chipped in three of his own for Cincinnati.
