Friday’s White Sox game vs. the Orioes will be delayed due to an approaching front of rain.

The Sox (15-36) are entering this game having lost six of their last seven games. Friday’s game will be the second of a seven-game homestand for the club.

The Orioles (30-18) snapped their three-game losing streak after Thursday night’s win. Orioles right-hander Corbin Burnes is on the bump against the Sox’ Chris Flexen.

Grifol knows it’s a hot topic every time he starts veteran Martin Maldonado and his .083 batting average behind the plate. But Grifol emphasized the importance of giving Korey Lee a break from his catching duties.
