It’s a night game on getaway day in Toronto, as your Chicago White Sox look to take the series against the Blue Jays. The South Siders shut out the Jays, 5-0 last night behind the stellar pitching of ace Garrett Crochet. Can youngster Nick Nastrini follow suit tonight? We shall see!
The Sox made a bevy of roster moves before tonight’s game:

As you’ll see below, DeLoach jumps right into the fray tonight, getting his first major league start. The rookie comes with a power pedigree, but somehow in the bandbox of Charlotte is slugging poorly so far in 2024. He does, however, have a fairly keen eye for a slugger, with an OBP north of .350.
Here’s how the Pale Hose line up in the series finale:
