Chicago White Sox News

With two recent top Draft picks already in the Majors, the White Sox either would be considered to have an exceptional eye for amateur talent over the past few years or have hit a truly lucky patch.

The White Sox fell to three games back of the Twins on Sunday with a roller-coaster 13-8 loss to the Tigers at U.S. Cellular Field.

The White Sox have been successful, but cautious, when facing Tigers slugger Miguel Cabrera.

Juan Pierre tied Paul Molitor for 36th on the all-time stolen base list when he picked up No. 45 in Saturday night's loss.

The call on White Sox closer Bobby Jenks and a possible trip to the disabled list won't totally be made by manager Ozzie Guillen or general manager Ken Williams.

Since the White Sox took three of four at Comerica Park from Aug. 3-5, the team's offense has shifted into low gear.

Edwin Jackson was in line for a win until J.J. Putz allowed a two-run homer in the ninth as the Sox fell to Detroit, 3-2, on Saturday.

Manager Ozzie Guillen enjoyed watching MLB Network's The Club.

Beckham wants to be a basestealing threat

Sergio Santos had no problem coming back in to finish the seventh during Friday's 8-4 victory over Detroit after a long rain delay.

In a perfect world for White Sox manager Ozzie Guillen, Bobby Jenks would come to him on Saturday and tell him his back felt good enough to pitch.

Home runs by Gordon Beckham and Mark Teahen help carry Mark Buehrle past the Tigers in a 8-4 White Sox victory Friday night.

White Sox manager Ozzie Guillen liked the raw talent shown by Dayan Viciedo, who almost certainly will return when rosters expand in September.

The absence from Friday's lineup for Carlos Quentin simply was a break in action for the intense right fielder.

White Sox closer Bobby Jenks is listed as day-to-day, but if he's unavailable this weekend, he may be headed to the disabled list.

Playing the part of roving starter wouldn't be considered a foreign concept within Mark Teahen's six-year career in the Majors.

After an 0-for-4 showing in Thursday's 6-1 loss to the Twins left Viciedo hitless in his last 15 at-bats and 1-for-19 in his last six games, rookie White Sox third baseman Dayan Viciedo was optioned to Triple-A Charlotte.

Embattled White Sox closer Bobby Jenks left Thursday's game with back spasms after facing three Twins batters.

The White Sox were buried beneath Jason Kubel's seventh-inning three-run home run on Thursday, and ended up losing 6-1 to the Twins at U.S. Cellular Field.

Since Brent Lillibridge came up on June 1, he has done exactly what manager Ozzie Guillen had in mind.
