Cesar Hernandez Not In ALDS Game 1 Lineup
Cesar Hernandez isn't in the starting lineup for the first game of the American League Division Series. The White Sox will match up with Houston Astros right-hander Lance McCullers Jr. but will do so with Hernandez on the bench. Hernandez hit .232 with a .309 on-base percentage, three home runs, and a stolen base in 217 regular-season plate appearances for Chicago after being acquired at the trade deadline. It'll be Leury Garcia starting at second instead and batting ninth on Thursday. Garcia doesn't have a hit in seven career plate appearances against McCullers Jr., but he is batting .337 with a .371 on-base percentage in 108 plate appearances since the beginning of September.
