The Chicago White Sox will welcome the visiting St. Louis Cardinals back to active duty Saturday with a doubleheader.
The Cardinals have played just five games this season -- and none since July 29 -- due to a COVID-19 outbreak on their roster.
"When you see 29 other teams play, you say, 'Gosh, I'm ready to play, too.' It's like the scrawny kid on the sandlot who hasn't been picked yet," Cardinals pitcher Adam Wainwright told the St. Louis Post-Dispatch.
"I'm raising my hand in the back and saying, 'Me, me, me.' I definitely feel like that.
