Venable's mound-visit mistake forces White Sox into early pitching change
A managerial error in the first inning against Cleveland cost Chicago their starting pitcher earlier than intended on Friday night.
White Sox manager Will Venable triggered an unplanned pitching change in the first inning of Friday's game against the Guardians after misusing a mound visit. Under MLB rules, a second mound visit in the same inning requires the pitcher to be removed. Venable acknowledged the error, calling it an inexcusable mistake. The blunder put Chicago at an early tactical disadvantage by depleting bullpen resources ahead of schedule.
