Left-hander Noah Schultz (1-1) also is listed as a probable starter. The White Sox (11-15) have not announced their starter, though right-hander Erick Fedde is available after earning a win in Friday’s series opener. Washington dropped the first game of the set 5-4 on Friday. Brady House, the Nationals’ designated hitter, went 1-for-4 with a home run and two RBIs. Over his last 10 games, House has hit .308 with one homer and four RBIs while reaching base at a .367 clip.

Chicago is coming off a 4-1 win at Arizona on Thursday and has posted a 6-3 mark in its last nine contests. The Nationals have dropped five of their last six, including four consecutive losses to Atlanta before Friday’s defeat. House remains a key piece for Washington’s offense. The infielder has collected at least one hit in seven of his last eight games, batting .308 during that stretch. Fedde has been effective in his last two outings, allowing one earned run over 10 1/3 innings combined.
