White Sox Pitching in Crisis | Chicago News

The White Sox pitching staff is on fumes after getting swept by the Tigers, with no real break until August 27th as they prep for a makeup game against the Braves and a tough series against the Cubs. Manager Will Venable is scrambling to manage bullpen usage—Sean Newcomb threw over three innings in two days, while Luis Castillo’s hoped-for deep start didn’t materialize. Injuries are also heating up: catcher Kyle Teel is nearing a rehab assignment, with Jake Rogers now on board to compete for the backstop role. Meanwhile, shortstop Colson Montgomery got an unexpected day off despite recent hot streaks and a strong history against the Cubs’ lefty starter. On the broadcast front, Prime Video now streams Chicago Sports Network games, and ESPN will carry their matchup in Cleveland on September 16th—another busy stretch for the South Siders.
