Gamethread: Brewers at White Sox
Much more detail to come regarding Rick Hahn's pregame media session in a separate article tonight during the game, but here's the basic haps:
- Nick Madrigal has a separated shoulder, IL, out a few weeks.
- Tim Anderson hits Schaumburg tomorrow for rehab, back shortly.
- Edwin Encarnación has some shoulder joint fluid and is day-to-day.
- Reynaldo López was slowed slightly by a two-day stomach bug but is beginning his rehab at Schaumburg.
- Carlos Rodón will also be rehabbing at Schaumburg, with both pitchers expected back in 2020, likely this month.
- The No. 5 spot will not be filled by a young arm from Schaumburg or from the outside. It will be bullpen days at least for a next couple of No. 5 turns.
OK, then. The lineups:
