- Trevor Larnach: Has been a steady contributor, hitting .250 with two home runs in the last ten games.

Key Matchups
- Bryse Wilson vs. Twins’ Offense: Wilson will need to navigate a Twins lineup that, while inconsistent, has the potential to break out at any moment.
- Chris Paddack vs. White Sox’ Offense: Paddack will look to exploit Chicago’s struggles at the plate, as the White Sox rank near the bottom of the league in runs scored and team batting average.
- Andrew Benintendi vs. Chris Paddack: Benintendi’s power and ability to get on base will be crucial for the White Sox to generate offense.
