The White Sox expect to face a plethora of Rays pitchers Friday night at Tropicana Park, given that starter Ryne Stanek is actually a reliever. Having traded Chris Archer to the Pirates, the Rays don’t have any true starting pitching left.
Lucas Giolito (7-8, 6.26 ERA) gets the ball for the Sox, who are 1-2 against the Rays this season. The Sox will take on Stanek, a hard-throwing 27-year-old right-hander, with this lineup:
Moncada 2B
Sanchez 3B
Abreu 1B
Palka DH
A.
