White Sox Face Mets With Key Players Out
22 Aug
Summary
- White Sox to start series against Mets with significant absences.
- Sean Burke to pitch for the White Sox against Sean Manaea.
- Lineup adjustments made by White Sox manager Will Venable.
The Chicago White Sox are preparing to face the New York Mets in their upcoming series opener. This game is particularly noteworthy as the White Sox will be without several key players, prompting manager Will Venable to implement an unusual lineup against the Mets' left-handed pitcher, Sean Manaea. Notable changes include Randal Grichuk in left field and Colson Montgomery taking the designated hitter role.
On the pitching front, the White Sox will rely on Sean Burke, who has been a standout performer this season with a 2.18 ERA in his last seven games, despite a recent outing where he allowed four runs. Manaea, having found success since rejoining the Mets' rotation, enters the game with a 3.60 ERA over his last 15 appearances. The White Sox will need a stronger offensive performance than they displayed in their previous makeup game against the Atlanta Braves.
