The Chicago White Sox will play their first playoff game in five years on Tuesday in Houston, and they have set their 26-man roster for the Wild Card Series.
The White Sox will have to win two-of-three games on the road in the series in order to advance in the postseason, and they have gone with a roster featuring 14 position players and 12 pitchers for their opening foray into postseason baseball.
There weren’t many surprises on the roster, though there had been some speculation over who the team would have slot in as their backup catcher. That role will go to Jake Rogers, with Drew Romo and Edgar Quero both left off of the 26-man roster.
The White Sox also chose to leave Trevor Richards off their roster, though if they are able to advance to the Division Series they may choose to go with a 13-13 split in terms of position players and pitchers.
Here is the team’s full roster ahead of the series this week.
Pitchers:
Huáscar Brazobán, Sean Burke, Erick Fedde, Jordan Hicks, Anthony Kay, Davis Martin, Sean Newcomb, David Sandlin, Noah Schultz, Hagen Smith, Grant Taylor
Catchers:
Jake Rogers, Kyle Teel
Infielders:
