Injury Report
Chicago White Sox
OF Luis Robert Jr. — IL (hip)

Starting Pitching Matchup
Chicago — RHP Drew Martin (Projected: 4–3, 3.86 ERA, 1.27 WHIP)
Profile:
Heavy sinker/slider mix
Generates ground balls (49%)
Struggles vs. left‑handed hitters (.271 avg allowed)
Excellent command early in games
Matchup Notes: Minnesota’s lineup features several left‑handed bats (Kepler, Wallner, Larnach) who match up well with Martin’s sinker.
Minnesota — LHP Connor Prielipp (Projected: 2–5, 4.58 ERA, 1.34 WHIP)
Profile:
Former top prospect with elite slider
Strikeout upside (9.4 K/9)
Still inconsistent with fastball command
Vulnerable to right‑handed power
Matchup Notes: Chicago’s right‑handed core (Vaughn, Sheets from left side but hits lefties well, Andrus, Sosa) should generate hard contact if Prielipp falls behind in counts.
