Awesome!!! Now we just need AJ!

Danks heading to the pen for another bullpen session.

Daryl Van Schouwen
Pierzynski out of lineup today. Oblique issue apparently lingers.

Obliques never seem to heal quickly. With Pierzynski, his swing and throws to second would seem to put lots of stress on it. Right side.

That is some good news.

That's old news, and today's news wasn't encouraging.

Until they announce a rehab start somewhere, just assume Danks isn't pitching the rest of this season.

I was going to start a new thread, but if you scroll down to the end of the second story on this page (Peavy understands uncertainty of Deadline) you will find this hilarious quote from Jake Peavy:

"But getting that one extra inning and saving that bullpen on my day, it's something especially with the way we are monitoring Sale and Quintana. I want to be a veteran presence, take care of myself enough to shoulder the work load for the boys."

I especially like to read this in the voice of Gordon Beckham, impersonating Jake Peavy.

Chicago White Sox
Robin: AJ will play tomorrow, De Aza needs another day or two

Chuck Garfien
Chris Sale is dealing with some arm fatigue. No pain, will be pushed back in the rotation. May not pitch until Friday, possibly even after that.

Scott Merkin
Sale could get extended rest this week. Not a lock to start Friday
Sale feels fine, aside from a little fatigue. Makes sense to give him break now and have him primed for September.

For those worried about AJ, no need at this point. Took full BP and was ready to go but they decided to give him another day.
The plan is to have him catch Monday and Tuesday and then off on Wed so he'll have two straight days

CSN
De Azas' return uncertain: http://www.csnchicago.com/baseball-c...6801922697-914

I just saw on CSN's White Sox pregame show that Sale has a "fatigued arm."

Dan Hayes
Konerko was out with a mild concussion not a back issue. To be evaluated. Seven day DL a possibility.


Chris Rongey
The Konerko mild concussion news is, by far, the worst news of the night. Hopefully it isn't something that will affect him for long.


Daryl Van Schouwen
Konerko was concussed on contact at first base from Dyson on Tuesday night. Elbow to the temple area, it appeared. Stayed in game.

[Lip Man 1]

Wonderful.

First it was the pitchers dropping like flies...now it's the position players.

Please don't let Konerko miss too much time. Our playoff chances are ****ed without him.

Hasn't everyone on here been bitching about how horrible Konerko's production has been and how he should be moved lower in the order? And now we're lost without him?

Here it is, from all of 4 days ago...

I was not one of those people. Yes, his decline has been concerning, but he's still better than anyone on the bench.

This is a team with a very weak bench, the loss of any regular position player for any length of time is devastating at this point of season except maybe 2nd base.
