The Chicago White Sox have named their 26-man roster and nine-man taxi squad for the American League Division Series.
The White Sox, who won the American League Central Division and clinched back-to-back playoff berths for the first time in team history, will start the series on the road Thursday against the Houston Astros, with Lance Lynn taking the ball in Game 1.
