If Just for a Day

The White Sox brought up infielder Zach Remillard on Thursday to take the place of the injured Yoan Moncada going. The move was both reward and admission. Remillard has been working his way through the system since getting picked in the tenth round of the 2016 draft, and the Sox basically have no one better to bring up. Remillard did not disappoint in his major-league debut. Coming in after a shoulder injury to Tim Anderson in the fourth inning, Remillard set a slew of team and major-league with three hits, a walk and two RBIs. The first RBI single tied the game in the ninth, the second gave the Sox a 4-3 lead in the eleventh which they did not let go of. Manager Pedro Grifol has sense enough to start Remillard at second base today. Remillard was quoted in the Tribune Saturday that, “You play since you are a kid with a dream in your heart to get to this level and compete at the highest level in the world.” Maybe someday that will hold for girls as well as tenth-round draft picks.
