New York Yankees open series against Chicago White Sox
The New York Yankees will open a four‑game series in Chicago with right‑hander Max Fried on the mound Monday night. The Yankees are missing key hitters Aaron Judge, Giancarlo Stanton and Cody Bellinger because of injuries, leaving their offense struggling to produce runs.
Chicago’s starter is 22‑year‑old Noah Schultz, who holds a 6.04 ERA, 1.46 WHIP and a 3‑7 record. The White Sox are within 2½ games of the Cleveland Guardians for the AL Central lead, while the Yankees hope to narrow the gap on the Tampa Bay Rays atop the AL East. The Yankees enter the game as a -136 road favorite.
Both teams’ pitching staff is expected to carry the series, with the Yankees relying on Fried’s recent strong outing against the Pirates and the White Sox banking on Schultz’s low opponent batting average despite his overall struggles.
