In a recorded message from the Vatican prepared exclusively for the audience at Rate Field, home of the Chicago White Sox, Pope Leo XIV delivered a message of hope.

Thousands packed Rate Field on Saturday to celebrate the papacy of Chicago-born Pope Leo XIV, marking a historic moment for the local Catholic community and a point of pride for the city.

"It's great. I love the support. Need it," White Sox Manager Will Venable told MLB.com Wednesday.

After a 5-4, 11-inning loss to the Texas Rangers on Saturday, the Chicago White Sox will look to bounce back Sunday with new arrival Aaron Civale on the mound.

The Chicago White Sox are trading first baseman Andrew Vaughn to the Milwaukee Brewers for pitcher Aaron Civale, a source confirmed to the Tribune on Friday morning.

The White Sox are an unexpected landing spot for Civale. They entered Friday with a 23-46 record on the year, rendering them without playoff aspirations.

Not only was the hit García’s third of the game, but the win on Saturday ensures that the Rangers will take the series over the White Sox.
