"Martín Pérez has been lights-out in three starts since coming off four months on the IL for a flexor strain, most recently tossing seven innings of one-hit ball on Tuesday against the Royals (the game where the bullpen blew a 4-0 lead and started the White Sox on their current five-game losing streak). He'll be facing 2024 AL Rookie of the Year Luis Gil, whose 2025 season didn't begin until August because of a lat strain."
"Gil has had five starts this month as the Yankees began stretching him out. The righty's last outing was five innings of one-run ball against the Nationals, part of three straight games allowing a single run. Gil's big problem is control, with 17 walks in 24 innings, so patience from Chicago batters will be a virtue. The problem is patience is not a virtue the Sox have"
Both starting pitchers missed most of the season with injuries and are making well-rested starts. Martín Pérez has been dominant in three starts since returning from a four-month IL stint with a flexor strain, including seven innings of one-hit ball in his most recent outing. Luis Gil missed most of the season with a lat strain and has been stretched out with five starts this month. Gil has allowed few runs recently but struggles with control, issuing 17 walks in 24 innings. The White Sox lineup includes Michael A. Taylor and Will Robertson with Andrew Benintendi rested. First pitch is 1:10 p.m. Central with pleasant weather.
