CHICAGO -- The Chicago White Sox are at least open to the idea of a rebuild and are not interested in trading for short-term rental players to spark a struggling team, general manager Rick Hahn said.Hahn acknowledged the White Sox were mired in mediocrity with a 46-48 record heading into Thursday nights game against the Detroit Tigers. They had dropped six of seven and were seven games out of the second wild card -- and 10 behind AL Central leader Cleveland.With the Aug. 1 non-waiver trade deadline approaching, Hahn said the White Sox have to stay open-minded. But they are ruling out adding short-term rental players who could only help the team this year.They are, however, at least willing to consider just about any other action, even a major rebuild. And Hahn said that includes chairman Jerry Reinsdorf.An overhaul would be a huge step for an organization that has tried to contend through trades and free agency in recent years. But with one playoff appearance since the 2005 championship season, Hahn acknowledged the plan hasnt paid off the way the White Sox envisioned.Were not where we want to be, Hahn said. Weve spent a fair amount of time focusing on the here-now for the last few years and it hasnt paid off as handsomely as we hoped. So we have to stay open-minded.If they went the rebuild route, ace Chris Sale and fellow All-Star pitcher Jose Quintana would no doubt command high prices. But with team options, the White Sox have Sale under control through 2019 and Quintana through 2020.The notion of lets sell off everything because its not working might be a little extreme, especially if you expect to be able to put yourself in position to have a perennial quality product in the window of control for some of these guys, Hahn said.Hahn also offered updates on several injured players. He said pitcher Carlos Rodon (wrist) is progressing nicely and will make a minor-league rehab start before returning.Catcher Alex Avila (hamstring) suffered a setback in a rehab game with Triple-A Charlotte and likely wont be activated for another month.Right-hander Zach Putnam (right elbow) also had a setback and will likely need to have bone spurs removed from his elbow. Hahn said outfielder Austin Jackson, recovering from a torn meniscus in his left knee, will start ramping up non-impact activity in the coming days. Bruce Matthews Jersey .

SAN FRANCISCO -- The last active pitcher to beat the San Francisco Giants in a postseason elimination game will seek to do it a second time Tuesday night when Chicago Cubs right-hander John Lackey takes the ball for Game 4 of the National League Division Series.The Giants staved off elimination with a 6-5, 13-inning victory Monday night, the 10th consecutive time San Francisco recorded a postseason win when a loss would have meant the end of the season.San Francisco won World Series titles in 2010, 12 and 14 but failed to capture the 2002 championship when Lackey, then a rookie, started for the Anaheim Angels on their way to a 4-1 win over the Giants in Game 7.Seems like a long time ago, Lackey said before Mondays game. That has nothing to do with (Tuesday), for sure. Ive had several postseason starts, and one doesnt really affect the next one. Once you get in the game, its another game, another challenge.Lackey, an 11-game winner for the Cubs this season, will be making his 21st career postseason start, the most among active pitchers.He has faced the Giants more often in the playoffs (four times) than the regular season (three), with three of those postseason meetings coming in the 2002 World Series.Lackey is 2-1 with a 3.62 ERA against the Giants in those seven head-to-heads. However, San Francisco roughed him up for four first-inning runs the last time it saw him in the postseason, when he was pitching for the St. Louis Cardinals in Game 3 of the 2014 NL Championship Series.The Giants won that game 5-4 in 10 innings en route to a 4-1 series win over the Cardinals that propelled thhem to their third title in five years.ddddddddddddan Francisco will counter Tuesday with left-hander Matt Moore, who had been a candidate to start Game 2 in Chicago. Giants manager Bruce Bochy opted for Jeff Samardzija, pushing Moore back to Game 4.That puts Moore in the same position staff ace Madison Bumgarner faced Monday night -- win or go on vacation.This has got to be the biggest reason why we play the game, why we start training early in November and getting ready for this month, for these series, these moments, Moore said before Mondays game. So for me, Im very excited to watch Bum pitch, and probably a little bit more excited to get going myself.Moore, acquired at the trade deadline from the Tampa Bay Rays, has never faced the Cubs. He does have postseason experience, having gone 1-1 in four games, including two starts, for the Rays.He was one of the Giants best pitchers down the stretch. San Francisco won six of his last eight starts, and Moore held the Colorado Rockies and Los Angeles Dodgers to a total of two runs over 15 2/3 innings in the final week of the regular season with the Giants needing every possible win to hold off St. Louis in the wild-card race.Bochy admitted before Mondays game that the plan was to split the first two in Chicago, then have Moore for the clincher at home.Youre hoping to at least get a split there ... and now youre set up pretty good here, he said. It didnt happen, and now we have to find a way to win every game. ' ' '
