It’s a new week and a new series, this time with the Bronx Bombers in town. With similar records, the White Sox will see a mostly dominant Yankees team for the second time this year.
Before the game, the White Sox returned outfielder Everson Pereira from his injury rehabilitation assignment at Triple-A Charlotte, reinstated him from the seven-day injured list and optioned outfielder Junior Pérez to the Knights.
Noah Schultz is on the bump tonight. Schultz (3-7) has had a tough transition back post-injury,
with a 6.04 ERA, and the Yankees’ hitters will be tough. Former Yankee lefthander specialist Randal Grichuk and leads off tonight:
Max Fried (4-3) is starting for New York. The lefthander has an ERA of 2.97 but only 57 strikeouts this season. White Sox defense will also need to keep a close eye on Ben Rice, who is having quite the season.
You can watch the game on CHSN or listen on ESPN Chicago 1000. First pitch is at 6:40 p.m. CT.
