KEY GAME INFORMATION
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.
KANSAS CITY: 2016: 81-81, third place.
Manager: Ned Yost (eighth season). He's Here: OF Jorge Soler, RHP Jason Hammel, RHP Nathan Karns, DH Brandon Moss, LHP Travis Wood. He's Outta Here: RHP Wade Davis, DH Kendrys Morales, OF Jarrod Dyson, RHP Luke Hochevar, RHP Edinson Volquez.
Projected lineup: SS Alcides Escobar (.261, 7 HRs, 55 RBIs), LF Alex Gordon (.220, 17, 40), CF Lorenzo Cain (.287, 9, 56), 1B Eric Hosmer (.266, 25, 104), DH Brandon Moss (.255, 28, 67), RF Jorge Soler (.238, 12, 31 with Cubs; likely to start season on DL with strained oblique), 3B Mike Moustakas (.240, 7, 13), C Salvador Perez (.247, 22, 64), Raul Mondesi (.185, 2, 13).
Rotation: LH Danny Duffy (12-3, 3.51 ERA, 188 Ks), RH Ian Kennedy (11-11, 3.68, 184 Ks), RH Jason Hammel (11-11, 3.83 with Cubs), LH Jason Vargas (0-0, 2.25 in 3 starts after returning from Tommy John surgery), RH Nathan Karns (6-2, 5.15 with Mariners).
Key relievers: RH Kelvin Herrera (2-6, 2.75, 12 saves), RH Joakim Soria (5-8, 4.05), LH Matt Strahm (2-2, 1.23), LH Travis Wood (4-0, 2.95), LH Scott Alexander (0-0, 3.32), RH Chris Young (3-9, 6.19). Hot Spot: Starting Rotation. Duffy showed signs of blossoming into an ace late last year, but is yet to put it all together for a full season. Hammel was signed after the tragic death of RHP Yordano Ventura in a car accident in the Dominican Republic. Vargas barely pitched last season after coming back from elbow surgery. Karns has intriguing potential, but might end up in the bullpen unless he lives up to it quickly.
Outlook: Royals GM Dayton Moore thinks his starting rotation is the best it has been during his tenure, even if just about every spot is tenuous. He also thinks Kansas City has more power at the plate this year thanks to Moustakas' return from a torn ACL and the signing of Moss. Paulo Orlando (.302, 5, 43, 14 SBs) will replace Soler in right field at the start of the season. But there are plenty of question marks up and down the lineup, not to mention on the pitching staff, and several things must break right for Kansas City to make noise in the AL Central and take a run at its third World Series appearance in four years.
PREVIEW
Skidding Royals seek turnaround vs. White Sox
 

KANSAS CITY, Mo. -- The Royals are looking forward to flipping the calendar to May.

Kansas City begins the new month Monday with the opener of a four-game series against the Chicago White Sox.

April was a horrific month for the Royals, who went a major-league-worst 7-16.

The White Sox, meanwhile, went 13-10 in April, though their six-game winning streak ended Sunday with a 7-3 loss to the Detroit Tigers.

The Royals are last in the majors in batting average (.210), on-base percentage (.270) and slugging percentage (.336). They have scored three or more runs in an inning only three times all season.

The once-shutdown bullpen went 2-7 with three saves and four blown saves in April.

"We've definitely got to get going," said Royals center fielder Lorenzo Cain, who hit his first home run Sunday since Aug. 26. "As a group, we've definitely been struggling. It's just been tough. It's been a tough month, I guess, and we're going to turn the calendar here and go into May and hopefully we can get things going."

The Royals will try to end a nine-game losing streak against the White Sox, who swept them in a three-game set last week in Chicago.

"You don't anticipate getting off to this kind of start, especially, you know, coming out of spring training I felt like we were in good shape to get off to a good start," Royals manager Ned Yost said. "So, yeah, this is surprising."

The White Sox concern entering Monday surrounds Avisail Garcia. The right fielder, who is batting .368, was pulled in the fifth inning Sunday due to left groin tightness.

"Avi's OK," White Sox manager Rick Renteria said. "He had a tight quad/groin. Didn't pull it or anything, he just had a tough time loosening it up. When we got into the fifth or sixth inning, it was just wise. It was still wet out there. We just wanted to make sure we got him in and got it taken care of.

"We're not too concerned about it. ... I still have to check, but I don't expect that he won't be (back in the lineup Monday)."

Rookie Jacob May replaced Garcia and struck out in his two at-bats. He is 1-for-32, a .031 batting average.

"I know he hasn't (played much lately)," Renteria said. "I think it's been five days or so, I'm very conscious of that for sure. You'll see him in K.C. The one thing about it, he's been doing all the work with the guys, but I still have to get him in a game. We've been trying to work on his right-handed swing a little more. You'll see him in the next couple days, I'm sure."

Renteria was pleased with the club's first month.

"They've battled," he said. "They've played the game. We've got some -- all the cliches -- some timely hitting, some nice relief."

The White Sox's starter for the Monday series opener will be rookie right-hander Dylan Covey (0-1, 6.91 ERA). He was removed after 86 pitches and four innings in his start Tuesday against the Royals. He allowed two runs on three hits, three walks and a hit batter.

Covey has walked eight and struck out six in 14 1/3 innings in his first three major league starts.

Left-hander Jason Vargas, who lost to the White Sox on April 24, will draw the starting assignment for the Royals. Vargas (3-1, 1.40) was charged with four runs (three earned) on seven hits with five strikeouts and no walks over five innings in the 12-1 defeat.

Vargas is 1-3 with a 6.70 ERA in nine career starts against Chicago. He is 2-0 with 14 2/3 scoreless innings at home this season.
