A visit to Chicago to play the White Sox beginning Monday will represent a quick reunion for Keynan Middleton.
But the righty the Yankees picked up at the trade deadline will not enter his former home with much nostalgia.
“I’m excited to be here. They’re playing meaningful ballgame games here, and that’s all I’ve really wanted to do my whole career.” Only half of that belief bore true, as Middleton debuted in early April and pitched well, but a White Sox team with high expectations quickly fell out of wild-card contention.Jason Szenes for the NY Post
“This is a team that’s going for a playoff spot, and they’re trying to fight to get there,” said Middleton, who has been sharp in two appearances with the Yankees. “It’s been a long season. It’s been kind of dark, not too much to play for at times.” He had been effective, if not excellent, as a mostly fastball-slider pitcher out of the bullpen with the Angels, Mariners and Diamondbacks.
