Pregame notes: Another road sweep? In this economy?

Do it for TA

The only sweep the White Sox have pulled off this season was on the road, against a team whose fans want their ownership out of their lives forever, so a win on Sunday would bring a sort of symmetry.

Miguel Vargas was placed on the 10-day injured list Sunday with a left oblique strain, which is not good. Since his swing change in April, he is hitting .252/.323/.452 over a clean 350 plate appearance sample.

In his place, everyone will get a lot more Lenyn Sosa at first base, but also Curtis Mead was called up to the active roster. He's not in the lineup after the wonder that is flying from Charlotte to Los Angeles overnight, but hopefully regular action in his future.

Feeling critically low on ex-Brewers after trading away Adrian Houser, the White Sox claimed both lefty Bryan Hudson and righty Elvis Peguero off waivers, and sent both to Triple-A Charlotte. Both of them were quite effective last season, and both pitched to a get put on waivers right after the trade deadline level this year.

They'll both get a chance to apprise Bryse Wilson of all the funny Brewers bullpen anecdotes he's missed.
