Wednesday was the first time the White Sox had to cover left-hander Martin Perez’s turn in the rotation. Perez, who had been a model of consistency with a 3.15 ERA in 20 innings, was put on the 60-day injured list Monday with soreness in his left forearm. Covering him won’t be one man’s responsibility. But Sox right-hander Davis Martin did his part in a 4-2 loss Tuesday to set the team up well for the game that right-hander Bryse Wilson started Wednesday.

MINNEAPOLIS — Trailing the Twins 2-1 with run-ners on first and third after back-to-back singles by Nick Maton and Andrew Benintendi, and with Luis Robert Jr. up to bat, the White Sox had a prime opportunity to score and take control in the fifth inning Tuesday night. And then . . . nothing. Robert was called out on strikes after he didn’t swing at a fastball near the zone. Andrew Vaughn promptly grounded into a double play to end the inning.

MINNEAPOLIS — White Sox right-hander Bryse Wilson said there’s no true difference going from a long relief role out of the bullpen to providing bulk for the team, except that he “sits in the dugout instead of the bullpen” during games. Wilson has a very easy-going demeanor and a straightforward pitching philosophy that the team hopes translates into success.

BOSTON —White Sox starter Jonathan Cannon knows that he can’t walk hitters. It’s a free pass, which is killer when he has the pitch arsenal and stuff to pound the strike zone. Cannon ran into trouble during the third inning of Monday’s 4-2 loss to the Red Sox (13-11). After allowing a leadoff double to center fielder Jarren Duran and forcing a flyout to Rafael Devers, Cannon walked Alex Bregman, allowed a single to Trevor Story that Duran scored on and walked Wilyer Abreu.

BOSTON — Before Sunday’s game, infielder Chase Meidroth was scratched from the lineup with right thumb inflammation. Manager Will Venable said the injury has been bothering him “a while,” but that the pain when Meidroth woke up Sunday morning was enough to give him a rest. On Monday, the club officially placed Meidroth on the 10-day injured list and called up infielder Bobby Dalbec.
