Don’t go penciling Ross Detwiler into your projected White Sox rotation of the future. But if he can replicate what he did Friday night against the first-place Minnesota Twins, maybe he’ll help solve the South Siders’ starting-pitching problems here in 2019.
Outside of Lucas Giolito, who’s a near lock to make the American League All-Star team when the full roster is announced Sunday, the White Sox starting rotation has been a bit of a mess this season. Underperformance and injuries have stripped it beyond where anyone thought it would go before the season started.
Carlos Rodon had Tommy John surgery and is out for the year, Dylan Covey and Manny Banuelos have far more minor injuries and are currently on the injured list, Ervin Santana and Odrisamer Despaigne posted identical 9.
