Here are all the sporting events involving Chicago-affiliated teams taking place this weekend.

The White Sox got some encouraging news this week as Eloy Jimenez is set to begin a rehab assignment at Class High-A Winston Salem on Friday. The Sox will look to continue building on their 7.5-game AL Central division lead when they visit the Orioles this weekend. For baseball analysis and commentary from a South Side perspective, check out theSox On Tappodcast.

With the Cubs massive struggles continuing, Jed Hoyer and co. will be in sell mode at the upcoming MLB trade deadline.
