Rotowire
Eisert will serve as the White Sox's opening pitcher in Tuesday's game against Atlanta, James Fegan of SoxMachine.com reports.
The left-handed Eisert will likely work an inning or two before turning the game over to righty Erick Fedde, who will cover the bulk of the innings out of the bullpen. Eisert will go into action Tuesday having been unscored upon in 10 of 11 appearances since being recalled from Triple-A Charlotte in mid-May.

White Sox's Brandon Eisert: Operating as opener Saturday
Rotowire
Eisert will serve as the White Sox's opening pitcher for Saturday's game against the Phillies, Brooke Fletcher of Chicago Sports Network reports.
The top half of the Philadelphia lineup often features three tough left-handed hitters in Kyle Schwarber, Bryce Harper and Brandon Marsh, so the White Sox will have the left-handed Eisert open the contest in an effort to avoid an early deficit. Once Eisert works the first inning or two, right-hander Sean Burke is expected to take over in bulk relief.
