How to Watch, Probable Starters for Braves vs White Sox

The Atlanta Braves are bound for the Southside of Chicago this week, taking on the White Sox for a three-game series. It’s the only time they’ll face this opponent this year, and it’s one of two trips they’ll make to the city this season.

Consider this to be your TV guide for the weeknights. Here is everything that you need to know for this series, including how to watch it and who is expected to be on the mound to start each game.

Probable Starting Pitchers

Tuesday, June 8, 7:40 p.m. EDT: Grant Holmes (4-2, 3.86 ERA) vs Brandon Eisert (1-0, 3.21 ERA), opening for Erick Fedde
Wednesday, June 9, 7:40 p.m. EDT: Chris Sale (8-4, 2.23 ERA) vs TBD
Thursday, June 10, 7:40 p.m. EDT: Martn Prez 4-3, 3.02 ERA) vs TBD

Chris Sale and Martn Prez will face their former teams when they take the mound this week. While Prez was there for just last season, Sale has a deep history there.

During his seven seasons on the south side of Chicago, he made five of his nine All-Star teams and received Cy Young votes each of those seasons as well. He led the American League in strikeouts in 2015, and he was the leader in complete games twice (2013, 2016).

White Sox Erick Fedde made a handful of appearances for the Braves last season as they were in the hunt for starting pitching options. He had an ERA of 8.10 in five appearances, four starts.

Other Notes

Hurston Waldrep has made another rehab assignment start this week, again down at the complex. He pitched two innings again, allowing an earned run on two hits and three walks while striking out four. The right-hander is stretched out to 40 pitches so far.

Michael Harris II has had one plate appearance since he left Friday’s game early due to back tightness. He has been out of the lineup twice, but he’s appeared as a pinch hitter. When he did come off the bench, he delivered a game-winning three-run double to lift the Braves to a 3-2 win and sweep of the Pirates.
