Remember when Aaron Civale requested a trade out of Milwaukee after the team removed him from the rotation to make room for Jacob Misiorowski? The Brewers obliged, banishing Civale to the White Sox in return for Andrew Vaughn and cash to offset the salary difference. At the time, the Brewers were 4.5 games behind the Cubs and the White Sox were 22.5 games out of their division lead.
Civale now finds himself back in the NL Central after posting a 5.37 ERA with a 4.28 FIP and modest strikeout numbers across 13 Sox starts.
