KEY GAME INFORMATION
DETROIT: 2016: 86-75, second place.
Manager: Brad Ausmus (fourth season). He's Here: C Alex Avila, OF Mikie Mahtook. He's Outta Here: OF Cameron Maybin, SS Erick Aybar, C Jarrod Saltalamacchia, 3B Casey McGehee.
Projected lineup: 2B Ian Kinsler (.288, 28 HRs, 83 RBIs), 3B Nicholas Castellanos (.285, 18, 58 in 110 games), 1B Miguel Cabrera (.316, 38, 108), DH Victor Martinez (.289, 27, 86), RF J.D. Martinez (.307, 22, 68 in 120 games), LF Justin Upton (.246, 31, 87), C James McCann (.221, 12, 48) or Alex Avila (.213, 7, 11 with White Sox), CF Mikie Mahtook (.195, 3, 11 with Tampa Bay) or Tyler Collins (.235, 4, 15), SS Jose Iglesias (.255, 4, 32).
Rotation: RH Justin Verlander (16-9, 3.04 ERA, 254 Ks), RH Michael Fulmer (11-7, 3.06), RH Jordan Zimmermann (9-7, 4.87), LH Daniel Norris (4-2, 3.38), LH Matt Boyd (6-5, 4.53).
Key relievers: RH Francisco Rodriguez (3-4, 3.24, 44/49 saves), RH Bruce Rondon (5-2, 2.97), LH Justin Wilson (4-5, 4.14, 1 save), RH Alex Wilson (4-0, 2.96), RH Anibal Sanchez (7-13, 5.87 in 35 games, 26 starts). Hot Spot: Back of Starting Rotation. Zimmermann and Norris could be major contributors if healthy, but the No. 5 spot in the rotation is much more uncertain. Sanchez has a big contract and some impressive career accomplishments, but he's 33 and coming off two straight disappointing seasons. Boyd was merely serviceable a season ago.
Outlook: The Tigers have made no secret of the fact that they'll need to cut costs soon, but they've generally put off doing so. Verlander, Cabrera and Kinsler are back, and Detroit is ready to make another bid for a postseason spot. The Tigers fell just short of a wild card last season, and the team's top players aren't getting any younger, so this could be the last shot for Detroit to win big before a significant overhaul. Verlander and Cabrera are still producing like stars, and Fulmer won Rookie of the Year honors last year. If the Tigers are going to take another step forward, they'll probably need Zimmermann and Norris to perform well after both dealt with injury problems a season ago. Speaking of injuries: J.D. Martinez sprained his right foot March 18 and is expected to miss the start of the season. The Tigers finished eight games behind Cleveland in 2016. Closing that gap won't be easy, and a lot might depend on whether Detroit can stay healthy.
CHI WHITE SOX: 2016: 78-84, fourth place.
Manager: Rick Renteria (first season). He's Here: RHP Lucas Giolito, INF Yoan Moncada, LHP Derek Holland, RHP Reynaldo Lopez, C Geovany Soto, OF Peter Bourjos. He's Outta Here: Manager Robin Ventura, LHP Chris Sale, OF Adam Eaton, OF Austin Jackson, DH Justin Morneau, C Alex Avila, RHP Matt Albers.
Projected lineup: CF Leury Garcia (.229, 1, 5 in 18 games, 48 ABs; .313, 6, 35, 18 SBs in 84 games at Triple-A Charlotte) or Jacob May (.266, 1, 24, 19 SBs in 83 games at Triple-A Charlotte), SS Tim Anderson (.283, 9, 30), LF Melky Cabrera (.296, 14, 86), 1B Jose Abreu (.293, 25, 100), 3B Todd Frazier (.225, 40, 98), RF Avisail Garcia (.245, 12, 51), DH Matt Davidson (missed much of last season with broken right foot), C Omar Narvaez (.267, 1, 10), 2B Tyler Saladino (.282, 8, 38).
Rotation: LH Jose Quintana (13-12, 3.20 ERA), RH Miguel Gonzalez (5-8, 3.73), LH Derek Holland (7-9, 4.95 ERA in 22 games with Texas), RH James Shields (6-19, 5.85 in 33 starts with Padres and White Sox), LH Carlos Rodon (9-10, 4.04).
Key relievers: RH David Robertson (5-3, 3.47, 37/44 saves), RH Nate Jones (5-3, 2.29, 3 saves), LH Dan Jennings (4-3, 2.08), RH Zach Putnam (1-0, 2.30), RH Michael Ynoa (1-0, 3.00). Hot Spot: Triple-A Charlotte. With Giolito, Lopez and Moncada likely to begin the season in Triple-A, many White Sox fans might keep a closer watch on the Knights than the big league club. The development of the franchise's suddenly rich minor league system will help determine the trajectory of Chicago's new rebuilding project.
Outlook: Lots of losses and trades. Quintana and Frazier likely will be shipped out at some point this season, and Robertson also could be on the move in the right deal. The White Sox seem fully committed to a major overhaul, and they added several prospects when they traded away Sale and Eaton over the winter. But it could be a rough couple of years while general manager Rick Hahn tries to establish a more reliable pipeline of talent throughout the organization. In the meantime, the White Sox still have Anderson, who was impressive in his first major league stint last year. Abreu is going for his fourth straight season of at least 25 homers and 100 RBIs.
PREVIEW
Tigers, White Sox open 4-game set with doubleheader
 

CHICAGO -- Coming off a 3-7 road trip, the Chicago White Sox will play host to the Detroit Tigers in a straight doubleheader Friday to open a four-game series.

The first game of the twin bill makes up for a rainout April 5 at Guaranteed Rate Field. The second game will follow 30 minutes after the conclusion of the opener.

The White Sox (20-25) will try to snap a three-game skid after being swept by the Arizona Diamondbacks earlier this week in the desert. Chicago returns home for the first time since May 14.

The Tigers (22-24) also are a cold streak, having lost four of their past five games. Detroit is 10-14 on the road and 2-3 against Chicago this season.

Right-hander Mike Pelfrey will start Game 1 of the doubleheader for the White Sox. For the second game, the team announced it would recall right-hander Tyler Danish from Triple-A Charlotte to make his first major league start.

The Tigers plan to recall right-hander Buck Farmer from Triple-A Toledo to start the opener on Friday. Left-hander Matthew Boyd will start in Game 2.

Both teams are allowed to carry a 26th player for the doubleheader, which opens up roster spots for Danish and Farmer to join their respective clubs and make spot starts.

Perhaps no player will enter the series as hot as White Sox first baseman Jose Abreu. The Cuban slugger hit .405 (17-for-42) with five home runs, 10 RBIs and 12 runs during Chicago's 10-game road trip. He is batting .291 with 10 home runs and 27 RBIs overall.

Still, the losses appear to be taking a toll on Abreu.

"It was a very disappointing road trip," Abreu said through an interpreter, according to the Chicago Sun-Times. "We as a team are passing through a tough moment, a rough stretch. I'm thankful for how I performed, but I can't be happy -- we didn't win as many games as we want to. It's tough. The team is first."

Tigers left fielder Justin Upton will try to maintain a hot bat after going 3-for-5 with a home run and three RBIs on Thursday against Houston. Third baseman Nick Castellanos is expected to return to the lineup after being given two consecutive days off to rest.

Tigers manager Brad Ausmus said he hoped the break would jump-start Castellanos, who has struggled at the plate (.220, four homers, 25 RBIs) and in the field (nine errors).

"(It is) to reset more mentally than anything," Ausmus told the Detroit Free Press when asked about Castellanos. "Wipe the slate clean and just be ready to go on Friday."

Pelfrey (1-4, 4.85 ERA) is familiar with Castellanos and the rest of the Tigers lineup after making 24 appearances (22 starts) for Detroit in 2016. The 33-year-old journeyman is coming off his first victory with the White Sox.

In his career vs. the Tigers, Pelfrey is 3-5 with a 4.31 ERA in 11 starts.

Farmer is slated to make his season debut after appearing in 32 games (8 starts) over parts of the last three seasons with Detroit. The 26-year-old still is chasing his first big league victory as he sports a career record of 0-6 with a 6.84 ERA. He has no decisions and a 3.00 ERA in three career appearances vs. the White Sox, all in relief.

In Game 2, Danish also will go for his first victory in the major leagues. The 22-year-old pitched three games in relief in 2016, allowing two runs in 1 2/3 innings. One of those outings was against the Tigers, and he yielded a run in one-third of an inning.

Boyd (2-4, 5.36 ERA) is looking for his first win in his past seven starts. Since April 16, the 26-year-old is 0-3 with a 6.06 ERA and an opponents' batting average of .324. He is 0-2 with a 5.90 ERA in six career starts against Chicago.
