DETROIT -- Chris Sale still wears a Chicago White Sox uniform. His manager, Robin Ventura, is happy to still have his ace left-hander around for Wednesdays game against the Detroit Tigers.Rumors swirled around the fading White Sox prior to the non-waiver trade deadline on Monday but they only made one deal. They shipped out left-handed reliever Zach Duke to St. Louis for outfielder Charlie Tilson, who was injured in his major-league debut at Detroit on Tuesday.The asking price for Sale and No. 2 starter Jose Quintana proved too high for opposing executives trying to acquire one of them.With that, theres a sense of relief in the Chicago clubhouse.The group likes each other, Ventura said. For them, its tough when you see a guy like Zack Duke go out the door. He was a big part of the guys we had in bullpen, a very effective part of it. But as far as attitude and everything, you just continue on.Sale, who is 14-4, remains tied for the American League lead in wins despite not recording one in his last three outings. He will be making his second start since serving a five-game team suspension, which he received for cutting up throwback uniforms prior to a scheduled start against the Tigers.Sale took the loss upon his return against the Cubs on July 28 despite allowing only two runs in six innings.He is 8-6 with a 3.20 ERA in 26 career outing against the Tigers, including 16 starts. He went 1-1 in two June starts against them this season. He has generally pitched well at Comerica Park, going 3-3 with a 3.53 ERA in 10 career appearances.Tilson, who started in center field, strained his left hamstring chasing after a Miguel Cabrera double during the Tigers 11-5 win on Tuesday.Hes the fourth White Sox call-up to be injured this year during their first game.You feel for the kid, just like the other ones that have come up, Ventura said. Its crazy. Weve had four guys make their debut and get taken off the field. You look back at all of them and theyre just freak injuries.The red-hot Tigers did even less during the trade deadline, opting to stand pat rather than giving up a top prospect for another veteran arm. They have won seven straight and are 10 games over .500 for the first time this season.We felt coming into spring training like this was a team that could compete for a championship, manager Brad Ausmus said. That hasnt changed.Ausmus expects to have two key players back before the end of the series. Jordan Zimmermann, who has been on the 15-day disabled list with a right neck strain, is scheduled to start Thursdays matinee. Right fielder J.D. Martinez, who has been sidelined since mid-June with an elbow fracture, was activated from the DL after Tuesdays game and will likely start Wednesday.Rookie of the Year candidate Michael Fulmer will oppose Sale. Fulmer has not pitched since last Wednesday, when he took a no-decision in Boston, as the club tries to manage his innings. Fulmer is 9-2 with a 2.50 ERA through 16 starts while pitching 97 1/3 innings.In terms of pitches thrown, hes actually in real good shape, Ausmus said. Im not overly concerned about it. I think we can make it all the way through as long as were smart about it.Fulmer took a no-decision in his only career start against the White Sox on July 22, when he gave up four runs in five innings. Hes only pitched four times at Comerica Park, going 2-0 with a 1.42 ERA in those starts.
