- Cubs lefty Jon Lester, on the White Sox: "I like where they’re at. That lineup today, I don’t know if that was all nine of their guys, or if there’s a few guys fighting close. It’s a good lineup. It’s a really good lineup now."
- Angels catcher Jason Castro switched from uniform No. 15 to No. 16 this week. “Just a sign of respect to Tim Salmon,” he said. “I didn’t want to be the first one to wear (the number) since and break the streak. No. 16 is a good number too.”
