The Blue Jays look to salvage a 3-4 homestand as they host the White Sox for three games in a battle of cellar dwellars. This series marks the return of Melky Cabrera to Toronto who defected to the Pale Hose as a free-agent during the off-season.
The White Sox are coming off a homestand to forget after losing the last three games of their four-game set to Cleveland before a two-out-of-three series loss to Minnesota to spoil Paul Konerko's retirement ceremony. Chicago is 19-22 on the season, which puts them eight games back of the Kansas City Royals in the AL Central.
The Blue Jays welcome the return of Jose Reyes to the lineup after missing a nearly a month with a cracked rib. Reyes' return hit .364 means Munenori Kawasaki has been sent back to Buffalo. Kawasaki was 1-for-5 with a walk against Seattle over the weekend. The return of the other Jose — as in Bautista — is very much up in the air after missing Sunday's 8-2 win over Seattle with a cortisone shot to his ailing right shoulder. Odds are he will probably miss the entire three-game series.
