Story summary

The White Sox will use Sean Newcomb as their starting pitcher for Game 3 of the AL Division Series against the Cleveland Guardians on Wednesday, likely in an opener role. Although Newcomb struggled with Cleveland previously, allowing two runs and committing a throwing error, he faced the Guardians in a Wild Card Series where he allowed two runs over one inning. Jose Ramírez, Cleveland's top hitter, has had success against Newcomb, hitting safely in three of his four at-bats during their last series. Dylan Svoboda from the New York Post predicts that if Ramírez gets an early opportunity to hit, it could be advantageous for the Guardians given his past performance against Newcomb.
