The Chicago White Sox have an unfamiliar face taking the mound as Pedro Hernandez makes his MLB debut with the team on Wednesday against the Boston Red Sox, but otherwise all the regular starters are seeing action. Things aren't nearly as rosy for Boston, which has numerous starters missing from its lineup on Wednesday.
Other than Hernandez, White Sox manager Robin Ventura has all of his incumbent starters hitting the field on Wednesday. As the dog days of summer hit and injuries pile up, the White Sox have seemingly avoided any particularly substantial injuries, a common characteristic of the teams that Kenny Williams has built.
Here's Chicago's full lineup:
1. Alejandro De Aza (L) CF
2. Kevin Youkilis (R) 3B
3. Adam Dunn (L) DH
4. Paul Konerko (R) 1B
5. Alex Rios (R) RF
6. A.J. Pierzynski (L) C
7. Dayan Viciedo (R) LF
8. Alexei Ramirez (R) SS
9. Gordon Beckham (R) 2B
