The Chicago White Sox will be tested right off the bat, opening the pandemic-delayed season Friday against the Minnesota Twins at Guaranteed Rate Field.
Nicky Delmonico is batting eighth and playing right field. He’s in the lineup for Nomar Mazara, who is on the injured list for an unspecified reason.
Delmonico spent last year between the Sox and Triple-A Charlotte before undergoing season-ending surgery to repair a torn labrum in his left shoulder in May. He later was released.
“It means a lot to me, and I’m just really happy to be here, especially with this team that we have,” Delmonico said Friday.
