The homecoming for Shane Smith and Mike Vasil didn't quite go as planned, so it's up to Sean Burke to be the local boy who made good in his first MLB appearance in the ballpark of his youth. Burke has struggled since a successful Opening Day, and James talked to him about what hasn't been working for a story on Friday.
Scott Merkin relayed a couple of White Sox health updates before today's game: Chase Meidroth was scratched from the lineup with right thumb inflammation, and Martín Pérez has returned to Chicago for further evaluation and testing.
