News
Tyler Gilbert threw two scoreless innings with four strikeouts on Thursday in his first rehab game with the Triple-A Charlotte Knight. Venable commented on Gilbert’s status on Monday.
“Gilbert has a plan too, and I’m not exactly sure what his schedule is,” Venable said. “But it’ll be a few outings there to make sure the same thing, that he’s healthy but also built up and ready to go when he is there.”

Will Venable, White Sox: Venable, 42, is in his first season with the White Sox and first year as an MLB manager. He was previously an associate manager for the Texas Rangers from 2023-24 and on the coaching staffs for the Boston Red Sox from 2021-22 and Chicago Cubs from 2018-20. An outfielder during his playing days, Venable began his career with the San Diego Padres from 2008-15 and later played for the Texas Rangers in 2015 and Los Angeles Dodgers in 2016. He had a .249 batting average in 967 career games. Venable graduated from Princeton University, where he played baseball and basketball.

The Tigers lost to the Guardians in the 2024 ALDS after winning 86 games, the most in Hinch’s tenure in Detroit.

The Astros fired Hinch in January of 2020 after MLB suspended him for one year for his role in the team’s sign-stealing scandal.
