Anderson won his only previous start in Chicago, a 7-0 victory June 4, 2009, when he scattered six hits over seven innings. When the teams meet again Friday night, it’ll be at U.S. Cellular Field — where the White Sox have been unbeatable lately. That opens the door for Lucas Harrell to make his major league debut, according to the White Sox’s official website. The 25-year-old right-hander, a fourth-round pick by Chicago in the 2004 draft, was 9-9 with a 4.24 ERA in 22 starts with Triple-A Charlotte this year. Chicago will try to add to its longest home win streak in 21 years in the opener of a three-game series with the Athletics. The A’s appear unlikely to have closer available for this series. Bailey, who missed the Texas series due to back spasms, experienced discomfort during a throwing session Thursday. saved Wednesday’s 3-1 win in his absence. Left-hander (2-1, 2.35) will try to help his team get back on track as he returns from his second stint on the disabled list in 2010. Inflammation in his pitching elbow has limited Anderson to two starts since April 24, but he’s optimistic for this return. Highlights and results will be available soon.. stay tuned.
