The White Sox will have Sean Newcomb open ahead of Sean Burke against the Guardians on Monday. Burke was lit up for seven runs in 1 1/3 innings last time out, so the White Sox will try something a little different.

White Sox fans may have reason to sound some alarm bells after a rough outing from their best starter.

Sean Burke allowed one hit in 5 2/3 innings on Tuesday for the Chicago White Sox in a 5-1 win against the Houston Astros.

Burke is expected to pitch in bulk relief behind opener Sean Newcomb in Monday's game against the Guardians, James Fegan of the Chicago Sun-Times reports.

After struggling in three consecutive starts, Sean Burke delivered 5.2 scoreless innings to lead the White Sox to a critical win over the Astros.

One AL scout told ESPN's Jesse Rogers that the White Sox can be a "sleeper" postseason team if two pitchers can perform at a high level.

Burke (8-7) took the loss Tuesday against the Pirates after allowing seven runs on eight hits and two walks while striking out two over 1.1 innings.
