White Sox expect to play Thursday, and players have plans to stay warm

White Sox center fielder Adam Engel plans to station himself in front of the dugout heater whenever he can and will put a hand warmer in his back pocket when he heads to the outfield.

Right fielder Avisail Garcia expects to consume a lot of hot chocolate and coffee. Garcia and third baseman Yolmer Sanchez also might put Vaseline or Red Hot ointment on their bodies if it gets cold enough.

As of Wednesday evening, a Sox spokesman said the team expects to be able to play Thursday’s home opener at Guaranteed Rate Field against the Tigers.
