Weather permitting, tonight’s game offers the Chicago White Sox a chance to complete a sweep of the mighty Atlanta Braves and further cement their place atop the AL Central. Typing or saying that won’t get old, not after the years of misery leading up to it.
But first, some news and notes. Everson Pereira has been reinstated from the 10-day injured list after his rehab assignment in Charlotte. Pereira suffered a right pectoral strain on April 28th. The big news, however, is that Derek Hill has been traded
in a deal with the Phillies. The White Sox acquired minor-league outfielder Dylan Campbell and minor-league infielder José Colmenares in exchange for Hill and $250,000 in international bonus pool money.
Looking to bounce back after a rough time in Philly, Anthony Kay will be on the mound tonight. Colson Montgomery is back in the lineup after dealing with a sore back, so we will have Montgomery squared facing off against Atlanta. As mentioned above, Pereira is back with the Sox and will be playing center field tonight.
Our old friend Martín Pérez (4-3) will be on the mound. Not many changes in the lineup for Atlanta.
First pitch is currently scheduled for 6:40 p.m. CT. You can catch the game on CHSN or ESPN Chicago 1000.
