White Sox Wake-Up Call: May 14, 2019
Good morning. Here’s what’s in your Wake-Up Call:
LAST NIGHT: Rick Hahn announced three season-ending elbow injuries before the White Sox beat Cleveland 5-2.
TODAY: It’s Manny Bañuelos-Carlos Carrasco II as the Sox head into the only off day of the month.
ON THE FARM: Luis Robert hits his first Double-A homer, and Steele Walker his first at Winston-Salem.
AROUND THE LEAGUE: Shohei Ohtani takes Jose Berrios deep for his first homer since his Tommy John surgery, and the Royals call up a second baseman in the Kauffman mold.
Listen below:
I had read a review that Kubat might profile as a reliever, but the Sox have stuck with him as a starter thus far. Is there is chance he could develop into a Quintana or Buehrle command-oriented lefty starter?
@metasox The White Sox made him a starter after getting him from KC, which used him as a reliever. Seems like they see something worth exploring on that front.
