Starting Pitchers and Game Notes
Kohei Arihara (2-1, 2.21 ERA) vs. Michael Kopech (1-0, 1.69 ERA)
- In order to account for a depleted bullpen, Jonathan Stiever was called up from the alternate site, as the White Sox optioned Danny Mendick. Steiver is stretched out to throw as many as 100 pitches today.
- Michael Kopech will make his second start of the season today. He will likely throw no more than four innings as the team continues to stretch him out. He has never faced any of the hitters in the Rangers’ lineup.
