Detroit (0-0) at Chi White Sox (0-0)
3:55 pm ET
U.S. Cellular Field
The Tigers skipped Kenny Rogers for a turn through the rotation to allow him to rest and gear up for the White Sox on Saturday. Now, they'll have to hope that steady rain in the Windy City doesn't push his start back any longer.

Who will handle the eighth-inning role out of the White Sox bullpen? It was handled by Scott Linebrink for most of the first half of this season, and from the sound of manager Ozzie Guillen's comments on Friday, Linebrink will get another chance.
