The Chicago White Sox have faced recent challenges in their series against the St. Louis Cardinals, including a loss marked by an inability to capitalize on scoring opportunities following a rain delay.

To address ongoing struggles with a starting rotation that holds a 4.62 ERA, the team is implementing tactical adjustments. These include the potential use of AAA performer David Sandlin to provide length and the employment of an ‘opener strategy’ using Chris Murphy to leverage a bullpen that maintains a 3.65 ERA.
