At a glance:

The White Sox won three of four vs. the Rangers at home in May. Covey had to make an early exit in his last start, Saturday against the A's, with a right hip flexor strain. Sox third baseman Yolmer Sanchez is day-to-day after leaving Thursday's loss to the Twins with a left quad contusion. Shortstop Tim Anderson is batting .444 (12-for-27) over a seven-game hitting streak. Texas has won nine of 11 but is still last in the AL West. Rangers outfielder Shin-Soo Choo has reached base safely in 40 straight games, tying him with the Phillies' Odubel Herrera for the longest streak in the majors this season.
