John Danks (shoulder) went 4 2/3 innings Saturday in his third minor league rehab start.

If everything checks out with the left-hander early this week, he should be cleared to join the White Sox starting rotation on Friday night against the Marlins. Danks has been on the shelf all year and makes for a decent waiver stash right now in AL-only fantasy leagues. Since he's coming off shoulder surgery and still rebuilding his arm strength, it might not be wise to trust him right out of the gate in standard mixed formats. Even against Miami.

Gordon Beckham (hand) tallied three hits Sunday in his second rehab game with Triple-A Charlotte.

Beckham went 2-for-4 on Saturday in his rehab debut and is looking ready to rejoin the White Sox. But since he's been out so long -- over five weeks -- the second baseman will likely remain on the farm until Friday.
May 20 - 8:15 AM

Jake Peavy was charged with four earned runs on four hits over six innings in a loss Sunday against the Angels.

Peavy struggled with his control (five walks), but allowed just four hits and had seven strikeouts. After giving up consecutive two run innings, he retired the last seven batters he faced. It ends a streak of five-straight games in which Peavy had surrendered two or fewer runs. Peavy shouldn't have any trouble getting back on track in his next start Saturday vs. the Marlins.

Adam Dunn (back) is back in the White Sox' lineup Sunday.

Dunn left Saturday's game with back spasms, but he's feeling a lot better a day later. The veteran is batting .421/.450/1.158 with four homers and 10 RBI over his last five games.
May 19 - 1:11 PM

Hector Santiago lasted only 3 1/3 innings Saturday as the White Sox fell to the Angels.

Santiago cruised through the first three innings but simply lost it in the fourth after yielding a solo home run to Mark Trumbo to lead off the frame. His ERA jumped from 2.23 to 2.78 and his WHIP moved from 1.08 to 1.21. The regression should have been expected. Santiago will try to bounce back next week in an easy outing against the Marlins.

Adam Dunn left Saturday's game against the Angels due to back spasms.

Jeff Keppinger hit for the first baseman in the fifth inning. Spasms are generally a day-to-day thing, so we'll have to see how Dunn is feeling Sunday before knowing if he'll have to miss some games. It's unfortunate timing, too, as Dunn has been heating up at the plate.
May 18 - 6:19 PM

White Sox recalled LHP Donnie Veal from Triple-A Charlotte.

Veal posted a 4.26 ERA in 12 appearances with the White Sox earlier this season, but seems to be over his command issues. The 28-year-old will serve as a left-handed specialist.
May 18 - 12:47 PM

The White Sox are expected to call up left-hander Donnie Veal from Triple-A Charlotte on Saturday.

Veal struggled with the White Sox earlier this season, but hasn't allowed a run in four appearances (eight innings) at the Triple-A level. The 28-year-old will provide bullpen depth as a left-handed specialist.
May 18 - 8:53 AM

White Sox optioned RHP Deunte Heath to Triple-A Charlotte.

Heath appeared in four games with the White Sox and posted an 11.12 ERA. Donnie Veal will likely be called up to replace him on the active roster.
May 18 - 8:37 AM

Chris Sale struck out 12 in 7 2/3 scoreless innings Friday in the White Sox's 3-0 win over the Angels.

Poor C.J. Wilson got matched up with Sale for the second time in six days and took another tough loss. Sale allowed just four hits and struck out 19 while pitching 16 2/3 scoreless innings over the course of the two outings. He's allowed one run in 24 career innings against the Angels.
May 18 - 1:09 AM

Alex Rios went 2-for-3 with a homer and a walk Friday, extending his hitting streak to 12 games.

Rios opened the season on fire, homering in four straight games from April 5-9 and collecting hits in 10 straight. A three-week slump followed, but he's gotten it going against lately. The homer tonight was his fourth during his hitting streak.
May 18 - 1:06 AM

Gordon Beckham (hand) could be activated from the disabled list for the White Sox' series against the Marlins next weekend.

Beckham, who had surgery last month to remove the hamate bone from his left hand, will begin a rehab assignment on Saturday. The White Sox have been using Jeff Keppinger at second base and will welcome the defensive upgrade with Beckham.
May 17 - 8:54 AM

John Danks (shoulder) could rejoin the White Sox' rotation next weekend.

Danks will make what could be his final rehab start with Triple-A Charlotte on Saturday. The left-hander holds a 3.00 ERA over three rehab outings, but he has a 10/9 K/BB ratio over 18 innings and his velocity remains down. Fantasy owners should take a wait-and-see approach, though he would get a nice first matchup against the Marlins if he returns next weekend.
May 17 - 8:51 AM

Jose Quintana surrendered four runs over 6 2/3 innings in a no-decision victory against the Angels.

He struck out four and walked three. It was the fourth straight shaky outing from Quintana, who has yielded four, three, three and four runs in his last four trips to the bump, respectively. That stretch has inflated his ERA from 2.78 to 3.97. It has good odds of rising again on Tuesday against the Red Sox. Yank him from your mixed-league rotation, if you haven't already done so.
May 17 - 1:54 AM

Addison Reed twirled a perfect ninth inning against the Angels Thursday for his 13th save.

Now 13-for-14 in save conversions, Reed is sitting pretty with a 2.50 ERA, 1.17 WHIP and 22/8 K/BB rate over 18 innings. The 24-year-old is a top-tier fantasy closer.
