Right-hander Davis Martin (2-8, 3.89 ERA) is set to start for Chicago as he seeks his first victory since May 14. Martin missed about five weeks with a right forearm strain and returned to the rotation Tuesday at Tampa Bay, taking the loss after yielding four runs (three earned) and three hits in five innings.
Lefty Cristopher Sanchez (9-2, 2.40) will get the call for the Phillies. Sanchez looks to cap a stellar July in which he is 3-0 with a 1.19 ERA in four starts covering 30 1/3 innings. Sanchez is coming off a complete-game victory against Boston on Tuesday, allowing one run on four hits with 12 strikeouts and no walks.
Sanchez has pitched at least six innings in nine straight starts.
Martin hasn't faced the Phillies in his career; Sanchez is facing the White Sox for the first time.

One of the most popular Pirates in trade rumors will get another showcase opportunity when right-hander Mitch Keller (4-10, 3.53 ERA) takes the mound in the series opener in San Francisco.
The 29-year-old stood at 1-9 with a 4.15 ERA on June 10 before finding a rhythm that has seen him go 3-1 with a 2.32 ERA in his last seven starts. He contributed to the Pirates' just-completed big week with six innings of three-run ball in an 8-5 win over the Tigers last Tuesday.
Keller will be making his fifth career start against the Giants, against whom he has gone 1-2 with a 4.91 ERA in 22 innings over their first four head-to-heads.
One day after splitting pitching chores among seven guys in a bullpen game, the Giants will promote Carson Whisenhunt from Triple-A Sacramento to oppose Keller in his big-league debut.
The 24-year-old left-hander has started 18 games for Sacramento this season, going 8-5 with a 4.42 ERA, 28 walks and 86 strikeouts in 97 2/3 innings.
