Extra day of rest sets up Chris Sale vs. Mark Buehrle on Monday

Chris Sale will get an extra day of rest, having his next start flipped from Sunday against Baltimore to Monday against Toronto. And — not by design — the White Sox decision to push Sale back a day will set him up to face former White Sox ace Mark Buehrle Monday night at U.S. Cellular Field.

“We didn't do it because of that, but you now notice it,” manager Robin Ventura said. “It could be a quick game.”

With Carlos Rodon having his last turn in the rotation skipped, the White Sox had flexibility in deciding when he could make his next start.
