CSN - If Danks needs another rehab start, he would pitch either Sun. or Mon. in Charlotte.

Brent Morel saw a spine specialist on Monday, then heading to LA this week to see another back specialist.

John Danks' shoulder feels normal. After Tues. rehab start, he said the biggest thing is being healthy and feeling good, which he does. RV wants one more rehab start.

This Danks injury really snowballed fast. First it was "he's going to miss one start" to "he'll miss two starts but doesn't need a rehab" and now he needs to make multiple rehab starts. Better safe than sorry I guess. I eagerly await the day our rotation gets back to full strength though.

If a lot of Danks' ineffectiveness was due to carrying the injury at the start of the year, it makes sense for the Sox to bring him a little more up to speed than usual in rehab starts.

Just a shame about Morel, I hope they don't have to do surgery, as once they do that, he'll never be the same. Also, it's rotten timing, as at least Crede had developed much more before his back became so troublesome. You have to wonder if this will limit his ceiling.

I've never heard anybody give an explanation of how Danks injury was hurting his performance this year. Was it mechanics, speed, or control? What besides rest (which these rehab starts won't provide) has been done to change that?

Chicago White Sox

Adam Dunn is out of tonight's lineup with a slightly sprained right ankle.

Danks "sore." Not sure if its normal or not. Remains to be seen if he's activated for Monday and the Cubs:

That's a bit disturbing. A lot depends on Danks coming back and being healthy. Hopefully it is just soreness from not having thrown in a while.

Sigh. If he can't go Monday who would take the mound then? I am 1-4 at home, and I have seen Humber (who pitched well actually but lost) and Gavin twice my last three games. Hopefully its neither of these two...

I figure Peavy would go Monday if Danks isn't ready to return. Jake pitched Wednesday, so he'd be on regular rest for Monday.

Mark Gonzales
Fukudome looks headed for rehab assignment Monday, took BP today


Daryl Van Schouven
Dunn's sore ankle feels "about the same" as yesterday. "Not as good as I was hoping for."

He talked Ventura into letting him play Thursday and delivered his 22nd homer. Tough assignment tonight in LHP Kershaw.

Danks
Still sore, will meet with team doctor on Monday.

Evidently Danks is meeting with orthopedic guy on Monday?
Not good.

Still no answer for why Danks is sore after seeing Angels doctor Saturday. Gonzo says he'll need at least two more rehab starts in best case scenario.

More "good" news... Robin says Stewart starts Monday night against the Cubs.
