Sean Burke News: No longer starting Sunday

Burke will not start Sunday's game against the Cubs, as Grant Taylor has been announced as the White Sox's opening pitcher for the contest, James Fegan of SoxMachine.com reports.

Burke had previously been deemed the probable starter, but the White Sox announced late Saturday that Taylor will begin the game on the mound for the series finale instead. It's not yet clear if Burke is dealing with any sort of issue, or if the White Sox simply prefer for him to pitch in bulk relief behind Taylor. That wouldn't be a decision without precedent, as Burke has worked three times as the primary pitcher behind an opener so far this season.
