The White Sox are back at Rate Field after an abysmal road series (losing six of seven) that pushed them back to second place in the American League Central. Facing two divisional rivals this week, the White Sox have a chance to move past the Guardians again, but the next two series are do-or-die and could prove whether or not this team is legitimate or falling apart at the seams.
Thankfully, we have some good news: Kyle Teel is back! With his return, though, comes a sacrifice to the baseball Gods,
meaning Edgar Quero has been optioned to Triple-A Charlotte. Teel has been mashing in Charlotte, finishing with a line of .500/.529/.750 in 16 at-bats with the Knights. Quero, on the other hand, has been struggling both behind the plate and at the plate.
Anthony Kay (6-2) is on the mound tonight with Kyle Teel behind the plate and batting third. Kay will look to bring his ERA back down after a rough few starts recently. The rest of the lineup is consistent with what we’ve seen for the past two weeks, so not a lot of surprises.
Gavin Williams will start for the Guardians. Williams is 9-4 with a 3.83 ERA and is sitting at 103 strikeouts on the season so far.
First pitch is 6:40 p.m. CT. You can watch the game on CHSN or listen on ESPN Chicago 1000.
