August 28th MLB The Show 20 Roster Update: Phillies and White Sox Trending Up

Published on

The August 28th MLB The Show 20 roster update went up yesterday. The team that 100 percent received the most attention was the Chicago White Sox. Jose Abreu and Lucas Giolito got big boosts to diamond status while Eloy Jimenez jumped to gold. The Phillies are another team that stood out since star players Bryce Harper and J.T. Realmuto got attribute bumps as well. The Reds did not fare as well with Nick Castellanos, Mike Moustakas and Joey Votto dropping from their respective gem tiers (Castellanos had just recently bumped up to diamond). The Pirates also got dinged with Josh Bell and Bryan Reynolds taking some major attribute hits.

Overall, Max Scherzer was the highest overall player who had any overall movement with him dropping from a 93 overall to a 91 overall. Here is a look at everyone else who fluctuated between the diamond and gold tiers this week.
