Mandatory Credit: Benny Sieu-Imagn Images<\/p>\n<\/section>\n<section id=\"section-1\">The surging Texas Rangers will battle the struggling Chicago White Sox on Sunday afternoon in the finale of a three-game series in Arlington, Texas.<\/p>\n<\/section>\n<section id=\"section-2\">The White Sox will turn to newly acquired right-hander Aaron Civale (1-2, 4.91 ERA) for the start while Texas is expected to go with right-handed rookie Kumar Rocker (1-4, 8.87), who rejoined the team Saturday from Triple-A Round Rock.<\/p>\n<\/section>\n<section id=\"section-3\">Rocker has never faced the White Sox.<\/p>\n<\/section>\n<section id=\"section-4\">Texas won 5-4 in 11 innings on Saturday in a contest that saw a combined 13 pitchers in action. The Rangers, who used six, got a two-out single from Adolis Garcia to win their third straight game &#8212; their sixth in their past seven outings &#8212; and guarantee a third consecutive series victory.<\/p>\n<\/section>\n<section id=\"section-5\">Chicago, conversely, has dropped four straight contests after winning four of five.<\/p>\n<\/section>\n<section id=\"section-6\">The pitching-by-committee strategy worked well for Texas on Friday as seven Rangers&#8217; pitchers scattered six hits in a 3-1 win.<\/p>\n<\/section>\n<section id=\"section-7\">Sunday initially was scheduled as a bullpen game to provide an extra day off for right-hander Tyler Mahle. Texas manager Bruce Bochy confirmed Saturday that Mahle&#8217;s shoulder was an issue in his most recent start, against the Minnesota Twins on Tuesday, and was part of the Rangers&#8217; decision to move his next start back. He also could wind up on the injured list.<\/p>\n<\/section>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<section id=\"section-8\">Texas also will be without outfielder Evan Carter until at least Tuesday after he injured his right wrist while making a diving catch in the fourth inning of the Friday game. He removed himself from the contest in the seventh.<\/p>\n<\/section>\n<section id=\"section-9\">&#8220;I wasn&#8217;t doing myself or the team any good taking staying in the game,&#8221; Carter said. &#8220;It didn&#8217;t feel the best. But I think it will be fine.&#8221;<\/p>\n<\/section>\n<section id=\"section-10\">Civale will take the mound for the first time for the White Sox after coming to the team via a trade with Milwaukee on Friday. He asked to be traded after the Brewers sent him to the bullpen, making way for their top prospect, right-hander Jacob Misiorowski. The White Sox acquired Civale for former starting first baseman Andrew Vaughn, whose struggles this season led him to a demotion to Triple-A Charlotte.<\/p>\n<\/section>\n<section id=\"section-11\">Civale has five starts this season and is 1-1 over his past two outings. His most recent appearance was Monday for the Brewers when he allowed two runs on five hits and two walks over 4 2\/3 innings at home against the Atlanta Braves while striking out five in a 7-1 loss.<\/p>\n<\/section>\n<section id=\"section-12\">&#8220;Civale is a guy that has been a consistent performer in this league for six years, and somebody that will slot right into the rotation. We&#8217;re excited to have him,&#8221; Chicago manager Will Venable said.<\/p>\n<\/section>\n<section id=\"section-13\">The 30-year-old Civale pitched for both the Tampa Bay Rays and Milwaukee in 2024, amassing a career-high 161 combined innings while posting a 4.36 ERA with 149 strikeouts over 31 starts.<\/p>\n<\/section>\n<section id=\"section-14\">&#8220;We need some help, we have a lot of innings to cover here, and our young starters have been doing a great job,&#8221; Venable explained. &#8220;But they&#8217;re all kind of pushing their career highs in innings, and we&#8217;re going to have to be mindful of that.&#8221;<\/p>\n<\/section>\n<section id=\"section-15\">Civale is 2-2 with a 1.93 ERA in five career appearances against the Rangers. He&#8217;s allowed six runs and 18 hits over 28 innings in those five outings, walking five and striking out 28.<\/p>\n<\/section>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<section id=\"section-16\">&#8211;Field Level Media<\/p>\n<\/section>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Deadspin | Aaron Civale to make White Sox debut vs. Rangers<\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":6,"featured_media":61701,"comment_status":"closed","ping_status":"closed","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"footnotes":""},"categories":[4],"tags":[],"class_list":["post-61700","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","has-post-thumbnail","hentry","category-mlb"],"yoast_head":"<!-- This site is optimized with the Yoast SEO plugin v23.6 -
