• Ventura wouldn't commit to a Tuesday starter at Wrigley Field until the White Sox got through the weekend, but he was leaning toward Hector Noesi.

• The White Sox rank second in the American League with a .286 average with runners in scoring position, including a .308 mark over their last 12 games.
