The White Sox look to take game three of this four-game set after dropping a game last night to the Twins. Yet another new face will make his debut tonight; this time, it’s pitcher David Sandlin. This debut is due to Noah Schultz’s injury; earlier this week, Schultz was placed on the 15-day injured list with right knee patellar tendinitis.
Sandlin, 25, began his professional career with the Royals in 2022. Kansas City traded him to Boston in 2024. The Red Sox then dealt the righty to the White Sox this
past winter — along with Jordan Hicks, two players to be named later, and cash – in exchange for Gage Ziehl.
Back and forearm soreness forced Sandlin to start the season on the minor league injured list. Thankfully, between his first rehab start at High-A Winston-Salem and his latest outing for Triple-A Charlotte, he has found some success. He’s given up just 12 hits in 16 1/3 innings, striking out 26. His walk rate is high, but Sandlin didn’t allow an earned run until his most recent start.
Sandlin will square off against Connor Prielipp, who is 1-2 with an ERA of 4.03 over 29 innings. In his last six starts, Prielipp has given up 22 hits, 13 earned runs and 12 walks against 30 strikeouts.
First pitch is 6:40 pm CT. You can watch the game on CHSN or listen on ESPN Chicago 1000.
