Sean Burke named Chicago White Sox Opening Day starter

Sean Burke has been named the Opening Day starter for the Chicago White Sox, surprising many. The 25-year-old right-hander has only four games of major league experience and will face the Angels on March 27. Burke was not initially considered a top candidate for the role, with Jonathan Cannon, Davis Martin, and Martin Perez seen as more likely options. Burke expressed gratitude for the opportunity and acknowledged the support from the organization. In spring training, Burke has a 4.15 ERA over three starts, while Martin has not allowed a run in his appearances. The rest of the White Sox rotation is still being finalized, but Burke is confirmed as the starter.
