Twins, with Max Kepler back, vie for another win vs. hapless White Sox

Minnesota Twins outfielder Max Kepler waited and watched for more than two weeks before returning from the injured list this week. Actually, strike that. Kepler waited, but he didn’t watch. “I can’t really watch games because it’s too upsetting not being able to help my team win games,” he said, “or even just battle through whatever is going on.” Kepler can stop avoiding the game now. He returned to action Monday against the Chicago White

Reeling White Sox turn to Jonathan Cannon vs. tumbling Twins

Jonathan Cannon is scheduled to make his second career start when the Chicago White Sox face the Minnesota Twins on Monday night in Minneapolis. The 6-foot-6 Cannon (0-0, 1.80 ERA) had an impressive debut on Wednesday, holding the Kansas City Royals to one run and three hits in five innings of Chicago’s 4-2 loss. “I thought I did well. I thought I executed a lot of pitches,” he said. “I was really able to execute

Alec Bohm, Phillies bid to flex muscles vs. reeling White Sox

The Philadelphia Phillies are clicking at home after an inconsistent start. Philadelphia followed a three-game sweep against the visiting Colorado Rockies with a 7-0 win over the Chicago White Sox on Friday. The Phillies will look to continue their good fortune at home on Saturday evening when they face the White Sox in the second contest of their three-game series. Alec Bohm hit a pair of three-run homer and tied his career high with six

Rising Royals oppose struggling White Sox in DH

Kansas City catcher Salvador Perez would have been available off the bench Tuesday, but the Royals’ bid for a road series victory against the Chicago White Sox was postponed due to rain. With a doubleheader now scheduled for Wednesday, additional rest only figures to benefit Perez, who injured his left groin and hip on Sunday afternoon. An MRI exam on Monday revealed a mild groin strain, meaning it’s unlikely the veteran slugger will require a

As frustrations mount, White Sox turn to another young arm vs. Royals

With the franchise off to its worst start in its 124-year history, the Chicago White Sox held a team meeting before Monday night’s series opener with the visiting Kansas City Royals. And nothing changed. The White Sox managed just four singles — two from Andrew Benintendi — in a 2-0 loss to the Royals, falling to 2-14 for the season and 1-8 at home. It was the sixth time in 16 games that Chicago was

Mired in franchise-worst start to season, White Sox face Royals

The Chicago White Sox will try to turn around the worst 15-game start in franchise history when they open a three-game series Monday against the visiting Kansas City Royals. The White Sox have won just two of their first 15 games, eclipsing the 1968 team, which started 3-12. Over the weekend, Chicago was swept by the Cincinnati Reds, getting outscored 27-5. During their 11-4 loss Sunday, the White Sox were booed for their defensive lapses

Reds, host White Sox looking for consistency on offense

Shut out four times in their first 10 games, the Chicago White Sox have erupted for 13 runs over their past two contests. With lineup regulars Eloy Jimenez, Yoan Moncada and Luis Robert Jr. all occupying the injured list, the White Sox will take contributions from any corner. First baseman/designated hitter Gavin Sheets has been the one delivering lately as Chicago prepares for Friday’s series opener against the visiting Cincinnati Reds. Sheets boasts two multi-hit

Guardians attempt to continue hot start vs. White Sox

The Cleveland Guardians and Logan Allen will try to continue their early-season dominance when the left-hander takes the mound against the visiting Chicago White Sox in the second game of a three-game series on Tuesday. The Guardians won the series opener 4-0 on Monday afternoon to improve to 8-2 on the season, their best start since the 2011 season. “It just seems like, in these games, we find a way to score runs, and that’s

Skidding White Sox visit Guardians for home opener

The Chicago White Sox will try to end another four-game losing streak when they open a three-game series against the host Cleveland Guardians on Monday. The White Sox just dropped four straight games to the Royals, just the third time Kansas City swept a four-game series against Chicago. Chicago, which lost four straight to open the season, is 1-8 overall and 0-7 against the American League Central. “Between now and (Game) 162, there’s a lot

Royals seek 4-game sweep of struggling White Sox

Kansas City Royals right-hander Seth Lugo said manager Matt Quatraro had a simple request of the team’s starting pitchers going into this season. “He said, ‘Just go out there and give us five solid innings,’” Lugo said. “That seemed to make sense. If we all just did our jobs and gave those five solid innings, things could work out pretty well for us.” As it happens, the formula has turned out to be excellent. The
