Chicago White Sox right-hander Michael Kopech struck out 10 batters over five one-run innings against the Texas Rangers on Sunday in what was his second start of the season. Still, it doesn’t appear that the White Sox will be moving Kopech into the rotation on a permanent basis once Lance Lynn returns from the injured
