White Sox management considers resting struggling starting pitcher Sean Burke

Chicago White Sox general manager Chris Getz and manager Will Venable face a decision regarding the usage of starting pitcher Sean Burke as the regular season reaches its final 18 games. Burke, who has exceeded his 2025 total innings count by 22, has struggled recently with command and pitch effectiveness. The club holds a two-game lead in the AL Central and faces pressure to secure a postseason spot, leaving leadership to weigh the risks of resting their primary starter against the potential for a late-season collapse. Alternative rotation options, including Erick Fedde and recently activated pitchers, have shown inconsistent results or physical limitations. Management must determine if Burke remains a viable option for the final three turns through the rotation or if the team must rely on bullpen depth to maintain their current divisional lead.
