ESPN.com presents White Sox http://espn.go.com/blog/chicago/white-sox 60 en-us Wed, 22 May 2013 00:02:42 webmaster@espn.go.com http://assets.espn.go.com/i/espn/teamlogos/lrg/trans/espn_dotcom_black.gif 110 110 CHICAGO -- The news of Chris Sale having to miss a start did not shake up the Chicago White Sox, who have made a habit of competing shorthanded all season long. The injury hex started in spring training when it became apparent that rehabbing starter John Danks was not going to be ready in time to get big league hitters out. Danks, who is returning from shoulder surgery last summer, most likely will make his first start Friday against the Miami Marlins.]]> http://espn.go.com/blog/chicago/white-sox/post/_/id/15100/team-will-pick-up-slack-without-sale Tue, 21 May 2013 23:57:26 EDT 15100 CHICAGO -- John Danks hasn’t pitched all season, Gavin Floyd was lost for the year and on Tuesday came the news that Chris Sale would skip a start because of shoulder soreness. Yet the Chicago White Sox's rotation keeps rolling right along, with left-hander Jose Quintana delivering the latest gem for a club that has disappointed in every department except when it comes to the starting staff. Quintana took a no-hitter into the seventh inning against the Boston Red Sox on Tuesday before three consecutive singles chased him from the game.]]> http://espn.go.com/blog/chicago/white-sox/post/_/id/15094/solid-rotation-gets-another-gem Tue, 21 May 2013 23:28:39 EDT 15094 CHICAGO -- The Chicago White Sox made it two consecutive wins over the Boston Red Sox with a 3-1 victory Tuesday in the middle game of a three-game series. How it happened: Jose Quintana took a no-hitter into the seventh inning before the bullpen took it the rest of the way. Quintana didn’t give up a hit until David Ortiz dunked a broken-bat blooper into centerfield with one out in the seventh. Three consecutive singles loaded the bases before reliever Jesse Crain struck out Will Middlebrooks and Stephen Drew to end the threat.]]> http://espn.go.com/blog/chicago/white-sox/post/_/id/15088/rapid-reaction-white-sox-3-red-sox-1-2 Tue, 21 May 2013 21:57:14 EDT 15088 CHICAGO -- The Chicago White Sox have had numerous great closers in their proud history and Addison Reed is doing his best to make his mark on the position. Reed has saved 15 of 16 opportunities in 2013 and has come through on 90 percent of his career save chances. The 24-year-old has had the good fortune of having some of the best pitching instructors in the game as a support system the last couple of seasons. “They all have been awesome and different in their own way,” Reed said Tuesday.]]> http://espn.go.com/blog/chicago/white-sox/post/_/id/15085/reed-getting-job-done-in-closers-role Tue, 21 May 2013 21:18:43 EDT 15085 CHICAGO -- The Chicago White Sox will have the unique circumstance of three different men managing the team June 2-4 during a three-game series in Seattle. Manager Robin Ventura will miss the first two games of the trip for the graduation of his daughter in California. Bench coach Mark Parent will manage the first game Ventura misses on June 2. Parent will miss the second game on June 3 for his son’s high school graduation. “We are still going over how we are going to do it on the third,” Ventura said.]]> http://espn.go.com/blog/chicago/white-sox/post/_/id/15083/sox-to-have-three-managers-in-three-days Tue, 21 May 2013 20:49:06 EDT 15083 CHICAGO -- Left-hander Chris Sale will not make his scheduled start Wednesday against the Boston Red Sox because of a mild case of tendinitis in his left posterior shoulder, the Chicago White Sox announced Tuesday night. Hector Santiago will start in Sale's place, giving him one last chance to make a case for a rotation spot if John Danks returns, as expected, Friday.

Currently on a rehab assignment at Triple-A Charlotte after breaking a bone in his left hand, Beckham was a surprise lineup entry on Monday and Tuesday at shortstop, the position he played when he was drafted out of the University of Georgia. The move caught the fancy of conspiracy theorists who suggested that perhaps the White Sox might consider trading Alexei Ramirez if things were going far from planned by the July 31 non-waiver trade deadline.]]> http://espn.go.com/blog/chicago/white-sox/post/_/id/15074/beckham-not-at-ss-for-long-term Tue, 21 May 2013 19:22:28 EDT 15074 CHICAGO -- The Chicago White Sox will wait until the end of Wednesday’s game to make a decision on John Danks, but all signs continue to point to the left-hander making his 2013 debut on Friday. Danks threw a bullpen session Tuesday under the watch of pitching coach Don Cooper and said that everything was normal. “It’s been a long process,” Danks said. “Hopefully it ends this weekend. I knew it was going to be a long process.]]> http://espn.go.com/blog/chicago/white-sox/post/_/id/15072/danks-mentally-ready-to-return-friday Tue, 21 May 2013 18:48:31 EDT 15072 Jerry Reinsdorf confirmed Tuesday a published report that he has recommended to his sons a family succession plan that includes selling its interest in the Chicago White Sox, but he emphasized the decision won't be up to him.
