White Sox, Tigers Hit by Injuries and Delays

The start of Wednesday's game between the Detroit Tigers and Chicago White Sox was delayed, and Tigers outfielder Kerry Carpenter was scratched from the lineup due to right hamstring tightness but remained available to pinch hit. The White Sox placed pitcher Jonathan Cannon on the 15-day injured list with a lower back strain following his struggles and a shortened outing in Monday’s 13-1 loss to the Tigers. Cannon has been dealing with recurring back issues, requiring further medical evaluation. The White Sox continue to face uncertainty in their pitching rotation and have struggled against the Tigers since 2024. Meanwhile, the Tigers, who currently lead the AL Central, have recently swept the White Sox and maintained strong performances. Both teams are adapting to injuries as they navigate the 2025 season.
