Garrett Crochet Named White Sox' Opening Day Starter

In a surprising move, the Chicago White Sox have named Garrett Crochet as their opening day starter, marking his first career start in the major leagues.

Garrett Crochet, previously a reliever, will make his first career start for the Chicago White Sox on opening day against the Detroit Tigers.
The decision comes after the White Sox traded Dylan Cease to the San Diego Padres, leaving an opening for the starting position.
Crochet impressed in spring training with 12 strikeouts and no walks in nine scoreless innings across four Cactus League appearances.
The 24-year-old left-hander is coming off Tommy John surgery in 2022 and has a career 3-7 record with a 2.71 ERA in 73 innings.
