Chicago White Sox
The Chicago White Sox have undergone significant roster changes since last year's trade deadline, but have faced challenges with their performance, losing 101 games last season and starting this season off slowly. After a disappointing opening homestand, the White Sox are now on the road for the first time this season, facing the Kansas City Royals in a four-game series. Despite a strong performance by starter Michael Soroka, the White Sox suffered a significant loss to the Royals after allowing eight runs in the 7th inning. Newcomer Erick Fedde will take the mound for the White Sox in the upcoming game, showing promise in his first start this season. The team is facing key injuries to several players, including outfielder Eloy Jimenez. With a power ranking of 28, the White Sox rank 29th in offense and 15th in defense, with a 1-4 record so far this season.
