The Tampa Bay Rays play at George M. Steinbrenner Field this season, which is typically the spring training home of the New York Yankees, due to Hurricane Milton.

The White Sox enter the series on a high having swept the Pirates over the weekend in the Steel City. The Sox outscored the Bucs, 27-7. Sunday, Chicago won 7-2. Miguel Vargas and Mike Tauchman each drove in three for the Sox.

With many of the Sox’ better prospects now on the major-league roster, showing improvement after the break is important for the next step of their rebuild. They completed their first series sweep of the season with a 7-2 victory Sunday over the Pirates.

That's partly because the center fielder is on a seven-game hit streak since July 11, going 9-for-24 (.375 batting average) with eight runs, two home runs, six RBIs, three stolen bases, four walks and five strikeouts. He began post-All-Star break action with a 5-for-10 series in Pittsburgh.
