Season series: First meeting; White Sox won 8-5 last season

The Sox have gotten off to a rough start in what is expected to be a long season. It got worse when they lost OF Luis Robert to the 10-day IL with a strained adductor muscle Friday. They were swept in 4 games by the Kansas City Royals over the weekend and are last with 1.8 runs per game and 27th with a .196 team batting average. The Sox haven’t announced a starter Monday, but they’re expected to recall someone from the minors.

The Guardians were also dealt a tough blow as RHP Shane Bieber was lost for the season requiring Tommy John surgery. They have won 4 straight, though, and 7 of 9 to open the campaign. The Guardians, who will be playing in their home opener, had an extra day of rest Sunday after they were rained out against the Minnesota Twins.
