GLENDALE, Ariz. -- Mat Latos isn’t yet 100 percent ready for exhibition games and doesn’t mind that his next session will be on the side.
Physically, Latos feels fine.
But the White Sox pitcher said Tuesday he and pitching coach Don Cooper are in the midst of mechanical changes. Though he thinks they have made significant progress, Latos is OK with another round of work on a back field versus in an exhibition game. With that in mind, the White Sox decided they will start Erik Johnson against the Cubs on Saturday and Latos is set for another detailed work session with Cooper.
