The Chicago White Sox will begin regular season play on Monday but they are already heading into the 2017 campaign with a couple of key players on the disabled list. Last season, injuries – among other reasons – played a major role in the losing year for the South Siders. Many important and starting players were forced to miss extended periods of time. This forced manager Robin Ventura to experiment and shuffle around many moving parts.
Starting pitchers Carlos Rodon (sprained wrist) and Miguel Gonzalez (strained groin) were forced to miss time on the disabled list.
