Jose Quintana - S - White Sox

Jose Quintana allowed two runs over six innings in Friday's 9-3 win over the Indians.

Quintana was recalled from Double-A Birmingham on Friday to start in place of the injured John Danks. Both of his appearances have came against the Indians this season. He currently owns a 1.54 ERA and 0.86 WHIP over those starts.

Adam Dunn - DH - White Sox

Adam Dunn hit his 15th home run of the season in Friday's game against the Indians.

Dunn went 1-for-4 on the night, but he set the tone early by slugging a two-run shot off Jeanmar Gomez in the bottom of the first inning. The 32-year-old is enjoying a return to form this season, batting .239/.384/.579 with 15 home runs and 35 RBI.

Jose Quintana - S - White Sox

White Sox recalled LHP Jose Quintana from Double-A Birmingham.

Quintana made his major league debut on May 8 against the Indians by pitching 5 2/3 innings of shutout relief in the first game of a doubleheader. He'll start on Friday against the Indians. The 23-year-old southpaw has a solid 2.77 ERA and 41/14 K/BB ratio in 48 2/3 innings over nine starts at the Double-A level this year, but we'd hold off using him in fantasy leagues.

John Danks - S - White Sox

White Sox placed LHP John Danks on the 15-day disabled list, retroactive to May 20, with a sore left shoulder.

The move announced Thursday and has not become official. Danks is dealing with soreness behind his left shoulder, and although he hopes to return in early June, it's no sure thing. Jose Quintana has been called up and will take Danks' spot in the rotation Friday.
May 25 - 2:21 PM
Alejandro De Aza - OF - White Sox

Alejandro De Aza blasted a grand slam, one of five White Sox home runs, in an 11-6 victory over the Twins on Thursday.

He finished the night 1-for-5 with a pair of runs scored and four RBI, and his slam off of Brian Duensing in the sixth was the biggest hit of the night. A.J. Pierzynski, Paul Konerko, Dayan Viciedo and Alex Rios also homered for the White Sox in the game. De Aza is off to a very nice start to the season, hitting .283 with four homers, 17 RBI and 8 steals. He’s also scored 33 times and has done a tremendous job setting the table for the powerful bats behind him in the lineup.
May 24 - 11:27 PM
Philip Humber - S - White Sox

Phil Humber wasn’t at his best on Thursday, allowing the Twins to score five runs on six hits over his 4 1/3 innings.

Humber struck out four and walked three in the game. After being staked to an early 4-1 lead, he couldn’t keep the Twins in check, allowing four runs in the fifth inning. A two-run homer from Joe Mauer was the icing in the cake that eventually chased Humber from the game. He's struggled throughout the season to find consistency between starts, and will look to get back in the win column when he battles the Rays in Tampa Bay on Tuesday.

John Danks - S - White Sox

John Danks said he is currently dealing with soreness behind his left shoulder.

Danks has been scratched from Friday's start against the Indians and is expected to be placed on the disabled list. Jose Quintana will be called up from Double-A Birmingham to pitch in his place Friday. It's clear how long Danks has been pitching through the soreness, but this would certainly explain why he has struggled so much in the early going. The southpaw hopes to return on June 4, but White Sox manager Robin Ventura seems to think he won't need a minor league rehab assignment.

John Danks - S - White Sox

Updating a previous item, John Danks from scratched from Friday's start due to "soreness."

That really narrows it down. The exact nature of the injury isn't yet known, but given that his velocity, swinging strike rate and strikeout rates have all declined, we wouldn't be surprised if it was an arm injury of some sort. That's all speculation for now, of course. Jose Quintana will be called up from Double-A Birmingham to start in his place Friday.

Jose Quintana - S - White Sox

The White Sox will recall left-hander Jose Quintana from Triple-A Birmingham to start Friday against the Indians.

He'll start in place of John Danks, who was scratched for an unspecified reason. Quintana made his major league debut on May 8 against the Indians by pitching 5 2/3 innings of shutout relief in the first game of a doubleheader. The 23-year-old southpaw has a solid 2.77 ERA and 41/14 K/BB ratio in 48 2/3 innings over nine starts at the Double-A level this year. Still, we'd wait and see before trusting him in AL-only leagues.

John Danks - S - White Sox

John Danks has been scratched from Friday's start against the Indians.

The reason for the change is not yet clear. Danks is coming off his strongest start of the season last Saturday against the Cubs, but still owns a 5.70 ERA over his first nine starts. Jose Quintana will be called up from the minors to start in his place Friday. Stay tuned.

Alexei Ramirez - SS - White Sox

Alexei Ramirez went 0-for-3 with a walk Wednesday evening in a victory over the Twins.

Ramirez is sporting a .200/.227/.253 batting line in 179 plate appearances this season, and his counting stats (one homer, three steals, 17 RBI) haven't been great either. Alexei was good for 15 homers and 70 RBI last year but is looking like a fantasy dud here in 2012.
May 24 - 10:38 AM
Chris Sale - S - White Sox

Chris Sale dominated the punchless Twins in Wednesday's 6-0 win, allowing just two hits in seven scoreless innings of work.

So much for Sale's elbow woes. The 2010 first-round pick struck out five and walked two in moving to 5-2 on the year. The seven-inning outing was just his second of the year, however. Firmly entrenched in the starting rotation as long as he stays healthy, Sale will bring a 2.50 ERA, 1.05 WHIP and 45/14 K/BB ratio into his Memorial Day outing in Tampa.
May 23 - 11:48 PM
Paul Konerko - 1B - White Sox

Paul Konerko went 3-for-4 with his ninth home run in Wednesday's shutout of the hapless Twins.

Konerko took Alex Burnett deep for a solo shot in the seventh inning, and is now 5-for-8 since returning from his eye injury. He's batting an eye-popping .381/.462/.633 on the year. Konerko hit a career best .313 in 2006. He's never posted a full-season OBP above .400.
May 23 - 11:43 PM
Alex Rios - OF - White Sox

Alex Rios hit a two-run homer and scored a pair of runs in Wednesday's win over the Twins.

The bomb was Rios' first since Chicago's second game of the season on April 7. His power output has obviously been severely lacking, but Rios has actually done a decent job of bouncing back from his disastrous 2011, batting .268/.329/.386 through Chicago's first 44 games. With only 17 RBI and four stolen bases, however, he hasn't exactly been a fantasy dynamo.
May 23 - 11:41 PM
Brent Morel - 3B - White Sox

Brent Morel will not need surgery to repair a lumbar back strain.

"My pain is more extension, so if I was to bend back or when I get in a ready position [on defense], and it's more ... called something like the facet or the knuckle around the disc, which is really good news," Morel said. "They were happy to find that out. It's never operated on. It can be controlled very easily in the training room, and by calming it down." Morel will begin new back exercises Thursday, a process he'll continue for 4-5 days. After that, he'll be allowed to hit and throw before going out on a rehab assignment.
