Overview
- Hours before Thursday’s series finale in Phoenix, the White Sox called up right-hander Tyler Davis and designated reliever Lucas Sims for assignment.
- The move exposes Sims to waivers and brings Davis from Triple-A Charlotte, where he logged a 4.91 ERA with seven strikeouts over 7.1 innings in six games.
- The teams split the first two games, which featured 34 combined runs and a four-hit performance by Arizona’s Nolan Arenado on Wednesday.
- Davis Martin is slated to start for Chicago at 3-1 with a 2.16 ERA, with Arizona countering with Michael Soroka at 4-0 with a 2.78 ERA.
- Arizona enters at 14-10 with an 8-4 home record, while Chicago is 9-15, setting up a straightforward winner-take-the-series finale.
