Guardians, White Sox Announce ALDS Rosters

Key Points:

• The Chicago White Sox and Cleveland Guardians will face each other in the postseason for the first time in their combined 126-year history, starting with Game 1 of the ALDS in Cleveland.
• The White Sox made one roster change from their AL Wild Card Series sweep of the Astros, adding right-handed rookie Tyler Davis in place of Huascar Brazoban, who struggled in relief and was recently traded to the Mets.
• Tyler Davis, celebrating his 28th birthday, posted a 3.66 ERA with a 21.1% strikeout rate over 32 innings this season and represents a new challenge for Guardians hitters as he was not used against Cleveland in the regular season.
• The Guardians' postseason roster remains largely unchanged from their regular season roster, with no new additions and the exclusion of veteran Rhys Hoskins due to ongoing lower back inflammation.
• The White Sox active roster for the series includes a mix of catchers, infielders, outfielders, and both left- and right-handed pitchers, featuring several rookies and experienced players like Hagen Smith and Sean Burke.
