Strong-to-severe thunderstorms could impact the area during the mid-to-late afternoon hours. According to NBC 5’s Meteorologist Alicia Roman, Tuesday afternoon will be mostly sunny, windy and mild. The 2-1 White Sox will take on the Seattle Mariners at home Tuesday. First pitch is scheduled for 3:10 p.m.

The Mariners are heading to Chicago to play the White Sox in a three-game series before heading home. Here are the odds and lineups for today's game.

The Mariners will look to come out of their back-to-back AL Central series with a winning record but will have a tough road ahead against the favorites to win their division in the Sox. As always… M’s or White Sox? Who do you think is going to win the first game of the series? We’ve had to wait through the entire first series, but Matt Brash is going to get his first career start for the Mariners. It’s not going to be an easy one, as the White Sox are quite the dangerous team. Scattering a few more throughout the rest of the game, they end up with a 7-4 win. After wrapping things up in Minnesota, albeit in a disappointing fashion, the Mariners will head southeast to Chicago for a three-game set to wrap up their road trip. Once again, the M’s don’t go back-to-back games with the same catcher, as Luis Torrens will be catching Matt Brash’s first career start.

Tony La Russa will need more starts like Tuesday's while Lucas Giolito and Lance Lynn recover, and Velasquez likely earned another opportunity to start when ...

But the biggest story out of the pen was redemption for Liam Hendriks. The closer hadn’t seen the field since blowing two leads on Opening Day and ran in to trouble again in the ninth. Velasquez continued the starters’ trend of working around trouble to limit the opposing offense, holding the Mariners to only one run, and keeping the White Sox in the game. Before the game, Dallas Keuchel said the White Sox were hoping to get four innings out of spot starter Vince Velasquez, and that’s exactly what he delivered.

The Chicago White Sox placed starter Lucas Giolito and right fielder AJ Pollock on the injured list, the team announced Tuesday.

“But it was good, it was healthy. “I just want to continue to build on what I was doing last year. “I threw a couple of times, mainly because I had COVID and I was a little bit behind going into spring,” he said. Lambert went 1-1 with a 6.23 ERA and 10 strikeouts in four games (three starts) for the Sox last season. He was going to be away from us for five games. “Best way to describe it is extremely frustrating, but with each day that’s passed, I’ve felt better and better.

Strong-to-severe thunderstorms could impact the area during the mid-to-late afternoon hours. According to NBC 5’s Meteorologist Alicia Roman, Tuesday afternoon will be mostly sunny, windy and mild. Temperatures across the city will be in the mid-to-upper 60s, but cooler near the lake and at Guaranteed Rate Field.

White Sox ace Lucas Giolito and outfielder AJ Pollock are both headed to the injured list. Read more at MLB Trade Rumors.

It’s not yet clear how much time Pollock will be expected to miss, though it’s certainly worth noting that his placement on the IL is retroactive to April 10. Lambert worked three innings in his lone Triple-A appearance thus far, so he could be an option to provide some length along with Velasquez and Lopez at the back of the rotation. With their top two starters out of action, the White Sox will likely look to Dylan Cease, Dallas Keuchel, Michael Kopech, Vince Velasquez and Reynaldo Lopez to shoulder the workload in the rotation for the time being.

It started in the third inning, when Robert tracked down a ball earmarked for the wall in right centerfield. With two Mariners on base, it looked like the play ...

By moving up two bases, Robert was able to make it home on an Eloy Jiménez fielder’s choice, scoring what proved to be the game-winning run. After drawing a walk to start the eighth inning, Robert stole second, and then stole third to get into scoring position. But Robert made the catch in stride, bounced off the wall, and managed to get the ball back to the infield to prevent the runners from advancing.

With a mix of music blasting through speakers, smoke from barbecues, plenty of cold beers and perfect baseball weather, the return of tailgating was just ...

“I enjoy my retirement, but I would love to be working. “The games are good but tailgating is where we have more fun,” he said. He said opening days from the inside of the stadium were always special. One of the coaches almost got him, but Ordóñez saved him from being caught.” But this Tuesday the family Pillot was at peace thanks to the power of tailgating games, hot dogs, burgers, pizza, veggie trays and alcoholic beverages. My first game was in the old Comiskey Park when I was 1 month old.” DiMeo fell in love with the White Sox as a child because of his father and uncle. “If you would have asked me a week ago, I would have said all the way,” he said. “But I am worried about these injuries; they keep piling up and every day we have more injuries. Crouse “want(s) them to go further into the playoffs.” “Undefeated,” he said without any hesitation. Amy Riske, a former co-worker of Crouse, said she has been to every home opener with her husband since 2003.

Luis Robert hit a go-ahead home run in the sixth, and the Chicago White Sox held on for a 3-2 victory against the Seattle Mariners in the home opener.

With one out and runners on the corners, Jiménez grounded to short. Robert scored on the play, stretching the lead to 3-1. With runners on the corners, Tim Anderson grounded to shortstop J.P. Crawford. Instead of a possible inning-ending double play, Crawford couldn’t field the ball cleanly and everyone was safe. Mitch Haniger popped out to shortstop Tim Anderson to end the inning. The Mariners threatened in the third as Velasquez issued consecutive one-out walks. And he stole two bases on the way to scoring an insurance run in the eighth as the Sox beat the Mariners 3-2 in front of a sellout crowd of 36,948 at Guaranteed Rate Field.

The White Sox won their home opener on Tuesday, with their star center fielder showing off all of his tools.

But the biggest story out of the pen was redemption for Liam Hendriks. The closer hadn’t seen the field since blowing two leads on Opening Day and ran in to trouble again in the ninth. Before the game, Dallas Keuchel said the White Sox were hoping to get four innings out of spot starter Vince Velasquez, and that’s exactly what he delivered. The White Sox say they’re not measuring themselves against the other great teams in the league to see if they’ve made progress playing against better competition this year.

It's also a tough schedule for the M's, who, after having their game postponed on Thursday, had to play four straight games in the Minnesota cold, including a ...

With all of the injuries on their pitching staff, the White Sox will rely on Vince Velasquez and Johnny Cueto to provide some innings early this season. The White Sox traded away their big contact threat Nick Madrigal in favor of an Oops! All Sluggers lineup and simply overpowering opponents both in the box and on the mound; so far, it appears to be paying dividends. Of all the many strengths of this White Sox club, the lineup might be their strengthiest. The White Sox are the popular pick to run away with the AL Central title this year, although that series against Minnesota showed the division won’t simply be handed to them. The Mariners weren’t favored to win a single one of the games they played against the Twins and yet wound up with a series split thanks to some good old Chaos Ball-era one-run magic. 89 (4th) 85 (1st) Bullpen (FIP-) 85 (1st) Fielding (OAA) 94 (10th in AL) 109 (4th in AL)

But Robert made the catch in stride, bounced off the wall, and managed to get the ball back to the infield to prevent the runners from advancing. He does everything well, and not only does he do it well, but he actually shows up to the field early, he does everything the right way, as well.” “The craziest part was, I don't think the home run was even hit as hard as the line drive to the shortstop,” said Liam Hendriks. “And that’s ridiculous. It may feel like a little taste of what the future could hold for Robert, but don’t let Tony La Russa catch you using the word “little” to describe any part of what Robert displayed.

It's the same story as 2021 with most of the same cast of characters that breezed through the regular season until hitting a roadblock in the playoffs.

The Sox need Hendriks to get back to the form he showed in 2021. “The first one is always the hardest,” he said. The next month should be a good indicator of how ready the Sox are to prove they’re championship material. Once you get into that groove ... it’s a lot more noticeable when you do it at the start of the year. Right now, it’s a matter of let’s get through the next few weeks.” It’s an awesome environment to play in front of, and honestly it’s a blessing because there are a lot of other stadiums that don’t have that buzz going. “We’ve just got to go out there and do our thing,” he said. The Sox, like everyone else, are hoping to get off to a great start. We have very high hopes and goals in terms of what we want to accomplish. The crowd of 36,948 at Tuesday’s home opener against the Seattle Mariners was relatively staid early on, like it was feeling the team out in the first round of a 10-round fight. The 40,288 black-clad fans that night were into every pitch from start to finish, and a 4-hour, 27-minute game never seemed to drag. “We were talking in the bullpen: Our stadium is different when it’s full,” Bummer said.

CHICAGO – One of the biggest stories before the home opener for the White Sox on Tuesday had nothing to do with someone on their roster.

Luis Robert hit his first home run of the season, a tiebreaking drive in the 6th inning that led the White Sox over the Mariners 3-2 on Tuesday in their ...

White Sox Twitter blew up with fake reports of a trade that would've sent the young slugger to the Oakland A's in exchange for Frankie Montas.

“I just focus on what's going on here, and that's all I can do,” Sheets said. But for now, just control what I can control, and enjoy (home) Opening Day.” But that wasn’t the case for most people, so his phone continued to blow up.

CHICAGO -- There aren't many moments when White Sox closer Liam Hendriks finds himself unable to fire off a clever and witty response.

I was aware of where the wall was, and I was aware on the play. “When you are on the field, you just think of doing your job. “Before the catch, I was aware of the wall. He showed a lot of it.” “He showed a lot of why he's so special,” White Sox manager Tony La Russa said. “When you're on the field, you don't think about that,” Robert said. It’s only four games, of which the White Sox have won three, but Robert leads the Majors with four steals. Robert suffered a torn right hip flexor last May against Cleveland and when he returned in August, the White Sox gave him a red light to protect his health. “It was perfectly set up for me,” Robert said. “I need to think of a name,” Hendriks said. “If you strike out the side on three different pitches, we have the natural hat trick as a pitcher. So Hendriks, who picked up his 39th career save with the White Sox, was asked if there’s a special name for the trifecta Robert pulled off before a sellout crowd of 36,948 fans.

As the Sox current right fielder, A.J. Pollock, is spending time away both on paternity leave and nursing a hamstring injury, Adam Engel can temporarily fill in ...

I believe that Sox fans have a right to be angry at the lack of specific resources used to improve and stabilize the rotation; however, the actual, planned depth in 2022 is much better than guys like Jonathan Stiever and the aforementioned Jimmy Lambert, pitchers who were Plans A in 2021. While for some reason the team seems insistent on making sure Reynaldo López isn’t starting for now, and I do not know why Jimmy Lambert is expected to get Thursday’s start over him, ReyLo still has proven himself to be a reliable starter if the White Sox smartly decide to go that route. Lance Lynn is expected to miss a couple of months and Lucas Giolito is expected to miss a couple of starts. In 2021, for the San Francisco Giants, Johnny Cueto started 21 games with a 4.08 ERA. Hopefully the White Sox will not need him to start that many games, but if he performs similarly for the team when he inevitably pitches, that would be great. Then there’s Reynaldo López. Going into 2021, the White Sox seemingly didn’t have anyone in the organization they could comfortably rely on to make starts if need be. Vince Velasquez got his first start in the rotation on Tuesday during the Sox’s Home Opener. After a not-so-stellar Spring Training, Sox fans are justifiably concerned about this decision and his starts going forward, but that being said, he did produce one run ball over four innings. I will still argue in favor of the Sox’s depth a bit later, but let’s get some justified criticism out of the way first. He’s still ultimately the Sox back up catcher and he’ll do plenty to earn his spot for this role. As the Sox current right fielder, A.J. Pollock, is spending time away both on paternity leave and nursing a hamstring injury, Adam Engel can temporarily fill in without a drastic loss in performance to the team. In 2021, Sheets has a wRC+ of 143 against righties and a wRC+ of -26 against lefties. He was on the 26-man roster with limited time in the minors not necessarily because of his talent, but because he is cost-controlled by the team. Adam Engel as the Sox 4th outfielder as opposed to being a starter is a wonderful luxury.

Does the home opener give us any ideas about the South Siders' outlook on the season?

During Tuesday’s victory, the White Sox offense was below average, only managing three runs on six hits. During the home opener of 2022, though, these pitchers combined to allow only one run on three hits. The only White Sox starting pitcher who did not reach the 150-inning mark was Carlos Rodón (132 2⁄3 IP) —and he more than made up for this by leading the staff in fWAR (4.9) despite missing more time than any other starter on the team. With Lucas Giolito and Lance Lynn already on the injured list, the South Siders have already had to tap into the depth. In terms of WAR, FanGraphs ranked these three pitchers 10th, 11th, and 15th among White Sox pitchers on its preseason depth chart projections. But a good place to start would be the depth.

The Mariners are set to play the White Sox in game two of their three-game series in Chicago. Let's take a look at the odds for today's game.

The White Sox are favorites in the first game, opening as -1.5 favorites at WynnBET. This makes the fifth game in a row that the Mariners have been 1.5 run underdogs. This is by far the most changes to the standard lineup that we have seen so far this year… A late rally with a double by Haniger gives the M’s a 3-1 win. Ray takes the mound for the second time in a Mariners uniform, and will look to put together another good start for the M’s. He was pretty good in his first go-round, becoming the first pitcher this year to go seven innings. It’s a worthy fact to keep in mind when looking at the lines in a game, especially with the over/under. Let’s take a look at the lineup, pitcher, and odds for the second game of the series against the White Sox in Chicago.

On April 9, Tony La Russa announced that Lucas Giolito is headed to the IL with an abdominal strain. Giolito described the injury as “weird,” and said that it ...

He underwent surgery in Chicago on April 5 to repair the tendon and is expected to be on the IL for six to eight weeks. The right-handed relief pitcher has a nerve injury to his right biceps and is on the IL retroactive to April 4. He underwent surgery for the problem in August and was initially expected to be back and ready to go at spring training. A right shoulder strain identified during spring training has landed Ryan Burr on the IL, retroactive to April 4. Newly-acquired outfielder AJ Pollock left the White Sox game on April 9 in Detroit due to a hamstring injury. Below is a roundup of the notable players currently sitting on the IL — and, for the love of all things good and holy, let’s hope it doesn’t get any longer.

The White Sox starting pitcher started the season on the IL after undergoing knee surgery.

And if he feels alright, Lynn could be back in the rotation earlier than initially expected. “I think the big thing is going to be mound,” Lynn said. But the club certainly wouldn’t want to tax those arms too much, too early in the season.

The Mariners have lost three in a row while the Sox have won three in a row. Seattle has the better pitching tonight but the Sox lineup is stacked with right-handers. He bats in the middle of the lineup but that shows the depth they have. The Mariners need to see their offense step up if they want to cover this spread. They started out winning their first two games but lost their last three to the Minnesota Twins and White Sox. The Mariners’ offense has yet to come alive as they have yet to score more than four runs in a game. Seattle comes into this game (2-3) on the season.

Robert getting 'MVP' chants from fans, respect from teammates.

“Before the catch, I was aware of the wall,” he said. But when you’re on the field, you just think about the job you have to get done.” “When you’re on the field, you don’t think about that,” Robert said through translator Billy Russo. “You just think of doing your job. “He does everything well, and not only does he do it well, he actually shows up on the field early,” Sox closer Liam Hendriks said. In spring training and the first four games of the season, Robert has already aggressively engaged in numerous plays in the field and bases could be deemed risky. Robert has had a history of hand, knee and hip injuries going back to the minor leagues, but sliding head first, diving and sliding for balls and banging into outfield walls is how the game is played.

After years of moving into the spotlight, Topps catches up with a terrific Field of Dreams card.

Trying to put aside my bias as a Tim Anderson card collector, it’s one of the most collectible cards in Topps’ first series. This year’s is undoubtedly one of his coolest cards, though, with it encapsulating the bravado that makes him one of the faces of baseball.
