Rain Delays Sox-Angels Opener Amidst Player News
28 Apr
Summary
- Sean Burke's impressive pitching feat was highlighted.
- Rookie Tanner Murray suffered a season-ending shoulder fracture.
- Austin Hays reinstated after recovering from a hamstring strain.
The highly anticipated series between the White Sox and the Angels has been met with a rain delay, pushing back the scheduled first pitch. Before the weather intervened, the White Sox celebrated a remarkable pitching performance by Sean Burke, who threw 7 1/3 innings using only 76 pitches, a feat not seen from a White Sox pitcher since 1990.
However, the team received difficult news regarding rookie Tanner Murray. He sustained a shoulder fracture, necessitating surgery and an estimated recovery period of four to six months, likely ending his season. In a corresponding move, the White Sox reinstated Austin Hays, who had been sidelined with a right hamstring strain since April 6.
The pitching matchup for the delayed game features Anthony Kay for the White Sox, who has struggled in recent starts, against Jack Kochanowicz for the Angels, who boasts an undefeated record and a low ERA.
