Third to first

• Outfielder Casper Wells, who hit .167 in 38 games with the White Sox and threw one scoreless inning in relief against the Indians, was claimed off waivers Thursday by the Phillies. Blake Tekotte was recalled from Charlotte to take Wells' roster spot.

• The three doubleheaders played by the White Sox in 2013 are their most in one season since playing three in 2010. They were swept at home by Cleveland on June 28 and split with the Phillies on July 13.

• The White Sox (43-69) had their worst record after 112 games since starting 41-71 in 1970.
