The White Sox acquired a talented group of prospects, including infielder Chase Meidroth, who was just brought up from Triple-A Charlotte. He figures to make his major league debut in Friday's contest.

First pitch in that game is set for 7:40 p.m. ET as lefty Sean Newcomb pitches for Boston against Davis Martin.

Newcomb is 0-1 with a 5.19 ERA while Martin is 0-1 with a 5.73. The WooSox will be taking on the Columbus Clippers on Friday night.
