Chicago White Sox right-hander Adrian Houser has the third-best ERA in the AL since May 20. He has been mentioned in trade speculation but is focused on “right now.”

The Sox throttled Cubs ace Shota Imanaga and homered four times to grab their sixth win in seven games, a stretch in which they've scored 61 runs.

The Cubs have a lot of background information on Houser, who has suddenly re-emerged to become the new ace on the South Side.
