The Chicago White Sox collected a victory on Saturday, but they had to rearrange their starting staff during their weekend series in Detroit.
Right-hander Michael Kopech was scheduled to start Sunday afternoon's series finale for Chicago. Instead, he was placed on the 15-day injured list on Saturday due to right shoulder inflammation.
In his place, Johnny Cueto could start if he recovers in time from a non-COVID-related illness. He was a late scratch on Saturday.
Cueto (7-8, 3.09 ERA) pitched eight scoreless innings against the Tigers on July 9. The 36-year-old right-hander is 2-2 with a 2.34 ERA in six career starts versus Detroit.
Cueto struggled in his last outing, however, allowing seven runs (five earned) and eight hits in 4 2/3 innings against Oakland.
