Shane Smith Prepares for 2026 Opening Day Start

Righthander Shane Smith is set to make his third start of the spring as he prepares for his 2026 Opening Day debut for the White Sox. While Smith has posted a 5.79 ERA over 4 2/3 innings this spring, the organization remains confident in his ability based on his strong 2025 performance. He takes the mound against the Athletics looking to help the White Sox secure their fifth consecutive victory, supported by a high-scoring Chicago offense that leads the league in hits.
