Yahoo! Sports: Lineup, Roster Changes Ahead for Chicago White Sox (Yahoo! Contributor Network)

Sun, 19 May 2013 01:35:29 -0400

COMMENTARY | A convergence of issues is leading to several potential lineup changes and demotions/promotions for the Chicago White Sox. The recoveries of Gordon Beckham, John Danks, and Angel Sanchez mean that three current players will be demoted or released. The poor play of others, like Jeff Keppinger and Tyler Flowers, leave them likely to see their portion of playing time decrease if their struggles persist.

Chicago Sun-Times: Hector Santiago hurts case to stick when John Danks returns

Sun, 19 May 2013 00:05:34 -0400

ANAHEIM, Calif. — The White Sox have a decision to make about whom to send down when John Danks returns from his minor-league rehab stint soon. Left-hander Hector Santiago didn’t make it any clearer for them Saturday. If Santiago had the inside track on right-hander Dylan Axelrod, he might have given it away in the Sox’ 12-9 loss. Santiago couldn’t hold a 4-0 lead against the struggling Angels and didn’t finish the fourth inning after walking four and giving up four hits. He was charged with three runs. “That doesn’t even go through my mind at all,’’ said Santiago, who …

Chicago Sun-Times: Adam Dunn leaves with back spasms as Sox fall to Angels

Sat, 18 May 2013 23:20:34 -0400

ANAHEIM, Calif. — Of all the maddening things that contributed to a 12-9 loss to the Los Angeles Angels that halted the White Sox’ winning streak at four games Saturday, the worst was seeing Adam Dunn leave because of back spasms. While Dunn downplayed the injury, which he suffered bending over in the batter’s box before he sharply singled in two runs in the fourth inning to give the Sox a 4-0 lead, backs issues are never good. Especially for a 260-pound man. Dunn talked as though he would be back in the lineup Sunday if he is able to …

South Side Sox: John Danks battles control lapses in fourth rehab start

Sat, 18 May 2013 22:50:28 -0400

Entering tonight's start against Buffalo, John Danks had his sights set on the Chicago rotation. But after an uneven 4 2/3 innings in Western New York with the Charlotte Knights, it will be interesting to see whether the front office places more value on Jekyll or Hyde.

Danks bookended his night with lapses in control. He struck out Mike McCoy to start the game, then plunked Anthony Gose (lefty) and

ESPN Chicago: Santiago can't hold big lead in loss

Sat, 18 May 2013 22:05:28 -0400

ANAHEIM, Calif. -- Hector Santiago strolled to the mound in the fourth inning with one thing on his mind Saturday afternoon: Get the Chicago White Sox back in the dugout as quickly as possible. Instead it was Santiago who took the slow walk back to the dugout alone, unable to protect a four-run lead handed to him in the top half of the inning. The Los Angeles Angels would chase Santiago with three runs in the fourth, take the lead with two more in the fifth and eventually hold on to win, 12-9, ending Chicago's season-long four-game winning streak.

Sat, 18 May 2013 21:05:35 -0400

The Los Angeles Angels ended the White Sox four-game winning streak on Saturday afternoon with a 12-9 victory in an extremely ugly game that featured some words exchanged, two passed balls, 21 men left on base and a Terry Bevington-esque moment in bullpen management.

The White Sox offense failed to capitalize on the struggles of Joe Blanton early, as they had two men on in each of the first three innings, but came away with nothing.

Southside Showdown: White Sox pitching lets them down in wild 12-9 loss to Halos

Sat, 18 May 2013 20:20:35 -0400

Mark Trumbo and many other Angels contributed to a 12-run outburst against the White Sox (Gary A. Vasquez-USA TODAY Sports).

The White Sox scored nine runs on a season high 17 hits. And lost. The Angels were more efficient with their hits, scoring 12 runs on just 12 hits, sending the White Sox to their first loss in the last five games.

The Sox actually started the scoring by finally breaking through with a four-run fourth inning, after stranded two runners a piece in the game’s first three innings. Alex Rios hit a two out, two-run double over the Angels third baseman and was followed by a two-run

ANAHEIM, Calif. -- The Chicago White Sox produced a season-high 17 hits Saturday against the Los Angeles Angels, but their pitching didn't hold up and they lost, 12-9, ending their season-high four-game winning streak. How it happened: The Sox took a 4-0 lead in their half of the fourth inning and appeared to be setting sail toward their fifth consecutive victory against the slumping Angels. But a leadoff home run by Mark Trumbo in the bottom of the fourth seemed to give the Angels life and frazzle Chicago starter Hector Santiago.
