The 24-year-old Russell can challenge the leave before an arbitrator, and the leave can be extended for additional seven-day periods if the players’ union agrees. He continues to be paid his $3.2 million salary.“It’s unfortunate, but we’ve got to wait until the hearing and the investigation’s done,” teammate Kyle Schwarber said. “We don’t have, I guess, all the facts, so we have to wait until that wraps up.“It’s something that’s not ideal, but we’re going to have to move forward from this and be able to focus on baseball.”Last year, Reidy posted a photo on her Instagram account with a caption suggesting her husband of about 18 months had been unfaithful to her. In another post, a user — described by Melisa as a close friend — made the accusation that Russell had “hit” his wife. The post was later deleted.

The left-hander had been pitching well, going 3-1 with a 2.10 ERA over his previous six starts.“I pushed the margin trying to put on a better show for the fans today,” said Quintana http://www.bluejaysfanproshop.com/authentic-curtis-granderson-jersey , who made his first start at Guaranteed Rate Field since the White Sox traded him to the Cubs in July 2017. “But every time we go to the mound, we try to do our best.“For now, we’re still in first place and tomorrow is a new day.”Daniel Murphy led off the game with his 12th homer, but the White Sox went ahead to stay with three in the second. Matt Davidson and Welington Castillo singled before Smith hit a drive to center for his second of the year.White Sox manager Rick Renteria sent Palka up to hit for Smith in the sixth, and he responded with a two-run shot for a 6-1 lead.Castillo and Yoan Moncada also had three hits, helping the White Sox even their crosstown series with the Cubs at two games apiece.Murphy had three hits and David Bote had two RBIs for the Cubs.“Their pitcher was good,” manager Joe Maddon said. “Give him some credit too.

Maddon said Russell was playing well defensively, but wouldn’t speculate whether off-field issues were affecting him at the plate.TRAINER’S ROOMCubs: Schwarber (lower back) returned to the lineup as the DH and went 0 for 4.
