A Rule 5 Draft pick from the Milwaukee Brewers organization last season, Smith has shown tremendous growth since joining the White Sox staff. <\/span><\/p>\n<p class=\"p1\"><span class=\"s1\">Other potential Opening Day starters for Venable could be right-handers Erick Fedde, who recently <a href=\"https:\/\/www.chicitysports.com\/chicago-white-sox-sign-erick-fedde\/\"><span class=\"s2\">re-signed with the team<\/span><\/a>, and Sean Burke, who was the White Sox Opening Day starter last season. Burke pitched six scoreless innings against the Los Angeles Angels for the White Sox&#8217;s 8-1 victory. <\/span><\/p>\n<p class=\"p1\"><span class=\"s1\">All three would be solid options to choose from, with left-handers Sean Newcomb and Anthony Kay providing other alternatives, but spring training will be the battleground for who will ultimately get the nod to kick off the season.<\/span><\/p>\n<figure id=\"attachment_149183\" aria-describedby=\"caption-attachment-149183\" style=\"width: 788px\" class=\"wp-caption alignleft\"><img decoding=\"async\" class=\"size-large wp-image-149183\" src=\"https:\/\/www.chicitysports.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/07\/USATSI_26648309-900x600.jpg\" alt=\"Chicago White Sox\" width=\"788\" height=\"525\" srcset=\"https:\/\/www.chicitysports.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/07\/USATSI_26648309-900x600.jpg 900w, https:\/\/www.chicitysports.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/07\/USATSI_26648309-768x512.jpg 768w, https:\/\/www.chicitysports.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/07\/USATSI_26648309-1536x1024.jpg 1536w, https:\/\/www.chicitysports.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/07\/USATSI_26648309-2048x1365.jpg 2048w, https:\/\/www.chicitysports.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/07\/USATSI_26648309-150x100.jpg 150w, https:\/\/www.chicitysports.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/07\/USATSI_26648309-450x300.jpg 450w, https:\/\/www.chicitysports.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/07\/USATSI_26648309-1200x800.jpg 1200w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 788px) 100vw, 788px\" \/><figcaption id=\"caption-attachment-149183\" class=\"wp-caption-text\">MLB: All Star American League at National League Jul 15, 2025; Cumberland, Georgia, USA; American League pitcher Shane Smith (64) of the Chicago White Sox reacts in the eighth inning during the 2025 MLB All Star Game at Truist Park.
