Parker Messick to Start Regular-Season Finale vs. Royals

Cleveland Guardians left-hander Parker Messick will make the start in Sunday's regular-season finale against the Kansas City Royals. The Guardians secured the AL Central division title and the No. 2 seed in the AL playoffs following Saturday's win over Kansas City and the White Sox's loss to the Rockies. Consequently, the 25-year-old southpaw is expected to make an abbreviated appearance as the team manages its pitching staff ahead of the upcoming postseason stretch.
