Robin Ventura has shuffled his team's rotation as the White Sox prepare for the final week of the season.


Hector Santiago will start Wednesday night's series finale against the Indians. The move puts a left-hander on the mound against Cleveland and gives the rest of Chicago's starters an additional day of rest.


"Most of it is just getting those guys an extra day," Ventura said. "Even watching Chris [Sale], he's at a different point than he's been at in his career. It's just good to get him an extra day. Whenever that's happened, he's been a little stronger."


The White Sox have a half-game lead over the Tigers in the American League Central. They are 4.5 games back of the second Wild Card should they fail to win the division.

Jeff Samardzija Spoke With Cubs About Possible Reunion - RealGM Wiretap

Jeff Samardzija, who signed a five-year, $90 million deal with the San Francisco Giants adidas supercolor superstar norge , met with Theo Epstein in Chicago early in the offseason about a possible reunion with the Cubs.


The right-hander says he was never really close to returning to Chicago.


"We were in talks," Samardzija said. "From where we were at, it takes a lot more to get a deal done. I think Theo [Epstein] had an idea of what they wanted and what they were looking for this year."


The Cubs traded Samardzija to the Oakland Athletics for a group of prospects that included Addison Russell during the 2014 season. He spent his first six-plus Major League seasons with Chicago.


"Going through what I went through here, I just wanted to make sure I wasn't in that situation again," Samardzija said of Chicago's rebuilding years. "There's nothing wrong. They did what they had to do."
