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

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

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.

But runs are the commodity the White Sox will need if they are to turn around this four-game series against the host

The host Kansas City Royals continue their four-game series with the Chicago White Sox on Friday evening, hoping to build on their early-season power display. The top of Kansas City’s lineup has led the way, as both Maikel Garcia and Bobby Witt Jr. have multiple home runs. Leadoff hitter Garcia tops the team with three homers, while Witt — hitting second — ranks in baseball’s top five with eight extra-base hits, an .893 slugging percentage

Close contests have been the theme for the Chicago White Sox this season, with all but one of their five games decided by a single run. That includes Tuesday’s 3-2 win over Atlanta, an outcome that snapped Chicago’s four-game losing streak to start the season.
