But before the game gets rolling, some news — both good and bad.
The good news: Sean Burke joined James Baldwin on July 14, 1996 at Kansas City (76 pitches over eight innings) and Mélido Pérez on June 1, 1990 vs. Minnesota (76 over 7 2/3) as the only White Sox pitchers since 1990 to throw 7 1/3-plus innings pitched on 76 pitches or fewer. Congrats to Burke on the great accomplishment during Sunday’s game!
And now for the bad: Tanner Murray suffered a fracture in his shoulder, requiring surgery. His recovery is set at four to six months, so there is a good chance the rookie is out for the season.
With one man down, the White Sox were able to reinstate Austin Hays, who suffered a right hamstring strain on April 6. He’ll set tonight, given his rehab assignment at Triple-A lasted all of two games.
Anthony Kay (1-1, 5.57 ERA) is on the mound tonight. Unlike much of the starting staff, Kay has struggled in recent starts.
Jack Kochanowicz will be on the mound for the visiting team. Kochanowicz is 2-0 with an ERA of 3.1o, so the chilly White Sox offense could be in trouble.
First pitch was scheduled for 6:40 p.m. CT, now delayed by rain. You can watch the game on CHSN or listen on ESPN Chicago 1000.
