Paul Konerko - #14 - First Base - 6'2" - 220lbs
May 27, 2012 |
RotoWire
News: Konerko hit his 11th home run as part of a 2-for-4, four RBI game Sunday against Cleveland.
Impact: Konerko moved his triple-slash line up to .399/.476/.681 and is showing no signs of slowing down at 36. His .432 BABIP will inevitably cool off his average, but the power is for real -- his .282 ISO is currently just 10 points off the pace of his excellent 2010 season, when he socked 39 home runs. Gavin Floyd - #34 - Pitcher - 6'6" - 235lbs
May 27, 2012 |
RotoWire
News: Floyd received a win Sunday despite allowing 10 hits and five runs in five innings against the Twins.
Impact: Luckily for Floyd, Ubaldo Jimenez was starting for the Indians, who allowed seven runs in the first four innings. Floyd has now given up 21 runs in his past 14.2 innings. The problem continues to be the home run ball -- he allowed his eighth in 10 starts Sunday. Jake Peavy - #44 - Pitcher - 6'1" - 195lbs
Sun. May 27, 2012 |
STATS
News: Peavy struck out nine but allowed seven runs in Saturday's 14-7 win over Cleveland.
Impact: Peavy has a 6.27 run-support average. Alex Rios - #51 - Right Field - 6'5" - 210lbs
Sun. May 27, 2012 |
STATS
News: Rios had three hits, including a two-run homer in the eighth in Saturday's 14-7 win over the Indians.
Impact: Rios is 7 for 18 with three homers and eight RBIs in the last four games. Paul Konerko - #14 - First Base - 6'2" - 220lbs
Sun. May 27, 2012 |
STATS
News: Konerko had four hits, and the Chicago White Sox pounded Derek Lowe and the short-handed Cleveland Indians 14-7 Saturday for their eighth win in nine games.
Impact: Konerko extended his hitting streak to 12 games and raised his batting average to a major league-leading .396. He is 21 for his last 32 (.656) with four homers and 10 RBIs. Dayan Viciedo - #24 - Left Field - 5'11" - 230lbs
Sun. May 27, 2012 |
STATS
News: Viciedo homered in his third straight game, Konerko had four hits, and the Chicago White Sox pounded Derek Lowe and the short-handed Cleveland Indians 14-7 Saturday for their eighth win in nine games.
Impact: Viciedo is hitting .413 with seven homers and 18 RBIs in his last 12 games. Brent Morel - #22 - Third Base - 6'2" - 220lbs
May 27, 2012 |
RotoWire
News: Morel (back) fielded ground balls and plans on taking batting practice Sunday, ESPN Chicago reports.
Impact: The 25-year-old was just 20-for-113 with 39 strikeouts before the injury, but it looks like his recovery is going smoothly. John Danks - #50 - Pitcher - 6'1" - 215lbs
May 27, 2012 |
RotoWire
News: Danks (shoulder) threw a soft-toss session Sunday, ESPN Chicago reports.
Impact: Danks' current DL stint is backdated to May 20, so he may only miss a few starts. It looks like his rehab is going smoothly. Tyler Flowers - #17 - Catcher - 6'4" - 245lbs
May 27, 2012 |
RotoWire
News: Flowers will catch and bat eighth against the Indians on Sunday, the White Sox's official Twitter page reports.
Impact: A.J. Pierzynski is getting a day off, so Flowers will make just his fifth start of the month. Flowers has hit safely in four of his last five starts, but he's batting just .214 on the year and doesn't appear to be on the verge of significant playing time. A.J. Pierzynski - #12 - Catcher - 6'3" - 225lbs
May 27, 2012 |
RotoWire
News: Pierzynski is not in the starting lineup for Sunday's game against the Indians, the White Sox's official Twitter page reports.
Impact: Pierzynski has caught the team's last five contests, so he's likely just getting a day to rest up. Tyler Flowers will replace him behind the plate and bat eighth against right-hander Ubaldo Jimenez, but it's possible Pierzynski will be available off the bench if necessary. Dayan Viciedo - #24 - Left Field - 5'11" - 230lbs
Sat. May 26, 2012 |
RotoWire
News: Viciedo went 3-for-5 with a home run and five RBI in Saturday's win over the Indians.
Impact: He has been on a roll at the plate over his last three games, going 7-for-12 with three home runs, eight RBI, six runs, and a walk. Those three games have helped raise his season batting average to .264 to go along with 10 home runs and 23 RBI. Jake Peavy - #44 - Pitcher - 6'1" - 195lbs
Sat. May 26, 2012 |
RotoWire
News: Peavy allowed seven runs (all earned) over 6.1 innings and was the winning pitcher Saturday against the Indians.
Impact: He gave up six hits while walking one and striking out nine. It's not very common to see a starting pitcher allow that many runs and still escape with a win, but luckily for Peavy, his offense was able to score 14 runs off Derek Lowe and the Indians' bullpen. The win brings his record to 6-1 on the season to go along with a 3.07 ERA, 64 strikeouts, and 12 walks. Paul Konerko - #14 - First Base - 6'2" - 220lbs
Sat. May 26, 2012 |
STATS
News: Konerko extended his hitting streak to 11 games Friday.
Impact: Konerko singled in the third and finished 1 for 4. He's batting .526 during the hitting streak. Jose Quintana - #62 - Pitcher - 6'0" - 215lbs
Sat. May 26, 2012 |
STATS
News: Quintana picked up his first major league win Friday in a start against the Indians.
Impact: Making his second appearance, Quintana started in place of the injured John Danks. The left-hander gave up two runs in six innings, striking out four. Quintana is scheduled to start again Wednesday against the Rays. Brent Morel - #22 - Third Base - 6'2" - 220lbs
Sat. May 26, 2012 |
STATS
News: Morel may be headed for the disabled list with a bulged disc in his back.
Impact: The injury has been a problem for Morel recently, and he may need some extended time off to recover. Still, he has very little appear from a fantasy standpoint since he's hitting .177 with five RBIs in 35 games. Dayan Viciedo - #24 - Left Field - 5'11" - 230lbs
Fri. May 25, 2012 |
RotoWire
News: Viciedo went 2-for-3 with two runs scored, a home run, two RBI and a walk as the White Sox beat the Indians, 9-3, on Friday.
Impact: Back-to-back games with a home run and Viciedo is now 8-for-25 (.320) with three home runs and six RBI over his last seven games. Though he could stand to draw more walks and pull up that dreadful .269 OBP, his nine home runs are certainly making him a more attractive option for the back-end of your outfield. A.J. Pierzynski - #12 - Catcher - 6'3" - 225lbs
Fri. May 25, 2012 |
RotoWire
News: Pierzynski went 2-for-3 with three runs scored, a triple, a home run, two RBI and a walk during Chicago's win over the Indians on Friday.
Impact: Pierzynski went deep for the second game in a row and has already matched his 2011 home run output. He's now batting .309 with eight home runs and 31 RBI, and even here in his 15th major league season, remains a viable fantasy option behind the plate. Adam Dunn - #32 - - 6'6" - 287lbs
Fri. May 25, 2012 |
RotoWire
News: Dunn went 1-for-4 with a two-run home run and three strikeouts on Friday against the Indians.
Impact: With 14 home runs, a .239 average and a 36.4-percent strikeout rate, it would seem that all is right again with the universe. Welcome back, Adam. Alejandro De Aza - #30 - Center Field - 6'0" - 190lbs
Fri. May 25, 2012 |
STATS
News: De Aza hit his first career grand slam in Thursday's win over the Twins.
Impact: De Aza is hitting .283 this season and is batting .329 in May. John Danks - #50 - Pitcher - 6'1" - 215lbs
Fri. May 25, 2012 |
RotoWire
News: The White Sox placed Danks (shoulder) on the 15-day disabled list Friday, according to a team press release.
Impact: The move is retroactive to May 20, so he could return as soon as the first week of June. Danks and team management downplayed the severity of the soreness in his left shoulder, so he should only miss a few starts. The team summoned Jose Quintana from Triple-A Charlotte to fill in the rotation. Orlando Hudson - #5 - Second Base - 6'0" - 190lbs
Fri. May 25, 2012 |
RotoWire
News: Hudson went 1-for-3 with a double in the White Sox's win over the Twins on Thursday.
Impact: Hudson has started consecutive games at third for the White Sox, and he has looked adequate at the position thus far. He should continue to man the corner infield spot, and hit in the bottom-third of the lineup, until Brent Morel returns from the DL. John Danks - #50 - Pitcher - 6'1" - 215lbs
Fri. May 25, 2012 |
RotoWire
News: Danks is expected to be placed the DL retroactive to Sunday, the Chicago Sun-Times reports. An MRI on his left shoulder showed the injury to the subscapularis — a major muscle in the rotator cuff — is not serious.
Impact: He's expected to miss starts against the Indians at home Friday and against the Rays on the road Wednesday before returning to pitch against the Blue Jays on June 5 at home. Dayan Viciedo - #24 - Left Field - 5'11" - 230lbs
Thu. May 24, 2012 |
RotoWire
News: Viciedo doubled and homered in Thursday's 11-8 victory over Minnesota.
Impact: Viciedo has an ugly 3:35 K:BB ratio this season, but he's posted strong power numbers during the month of May with five homers and 12 RBI in 22 games. Alejandro De Aza - #30 - Center Field - 6'0" - 190lbs
Thu. May 24, 2012 |
RotoWire
News: De Aza hit a grand slam in Thursday's 11-8 win over Minnesota.
Impact: De Aza has been a steady performer for the White Sox, but it was his first homer since April 18. He also had one that was overturned by replay, so there may be some power emerging. Addison Reed - #43 - Pitcher - 6'4" - 220lbs
Thu. May 24, 2012 |
RotoWire
News: Reed gave up a two-run homer in a non-save situation Thursday.
Impact: Reed, who was recently named Chicago's closer by manager Robin Ventura, has converted all four of his save opportunities this year. He's been a little shaky lately in non-save situations, however, including a six-run disaster on May 13. Jesse Crain - #26 - Pitcher - 6'1" - 215lbs
Thu. May 24, 2012 |
RotoWire
News: Crain retired the final two batters of the seventh inning in Thursday's game against Minnesota.
Impact: Crain has made five scoreless appearances since returning from his oblique injury. Phil Humber - #41 - Pitcher - 6'3" - 210lbs
Thu. May 24, 2012 |
RotoWire
News: Humber allowed five runs and six hits over 4.1 innings against Minnesota on Thursday. Humber walked three and struck out four.
Impact: Humber has been very inconsistent in the last six outings since his perfect game on April 21, with three quality starts and three clunkers. John Danks - #50 - Pitcher - 6'1" - 215lbs
Thu. May 24, 2012 |
STATS
News: Danks is headed to the 15-day disabled list because of soreness in his left shoulder.
Impact: Manager Robin Ventura says Jose Quintana will be called up and start Friday in his place. Danks thinks he'll be ready to rejoin the rotation after June 4. Danks says he noticed the problem the day after his start against the Cubs on Saturday, when he threw 83 pitches over 6 1-3 scoreless innings. He had an MRI on Thursday, and he says he was ready to start against the Indians. But the team is taking a cautious approach. Paul Konerko - #14 - First Base - 6'2" - 220lbs
Thu. May 24, 2012 |
STATS
News: Konerko went 3 for 4 with a homer and three runs scored against the Twins on Wednesday.
Impact: Konerko seems to have suffered no effect after being hit by a pitch near the eye. He's 5 for 8 in two games since returning. Chris Sale - #49 - Pitcher - 6'6" - 180lbs
Thu. May 24, 2012 |
STATS
News: Sale earned his fifth win after going seven scoreless innings against the Twins on Wednesday.
Impact: It was his longest start since there were concerns about a sore elbow. He gave up two hits and struck out six to lower his ERA to 2.50. John Danks - #50 - Pitcher - 6'1" - 215lbs
Thu. May 24, 2012 |
RotoWire
News: Danks is out with a sore left shoulder and is expected to return June 4, Mark Gonzales of the Chicago Tribune reports.
Impact: Danks has a 5.70 ERA and a horrid 30:23 K:BB ratio in 53.2 innings. Some of it could be due to the soreness, but he could also just be broken. At this point, it's hard to spin any part of Danks's season in a good light. Matt Thornton - #37 - Pitcher - 6'6" - 235lbs
Thu. May 24, 2012 |
RotoWire
News: Thornton will revert to a setup role with Addison Reed earning the club's official closer title, the Chicago Tribune reports.
Impact: Manager Robin Ventura had employed a "closer by committee" in name only the past few weeks, as Reed received all of the save opportunities over that stretch. Thornton's value has been on the decline the past few seasons, and his K/9 currently sits at a rate half of what it was in 2010 (6.4 in 2012 vs 12.0 in 2010). Hector Santiago - #53 - Pitcher - 6'1" - 213lbs
Thu. May 24, 2012 |
RotoWire
News: Santiago should return to a setup role in the bullpen now that Addison Reed has been tabbed as the White Sox's closer, the Chicago Tribune reports.
Impact: Santiago had technically been part of a "closer by committee" after Chris Sale returned to the rotation, but Reed received all of the save opportunities in that stretch. Santiago should primarily pitch in the seventh and eighth innings moving forward, and he could provide owners with K's and holds in a non-save role. Chris Sale - #49 - Pitcher - 6'6" - 180lbs
Thu. May 24, 2012 |
RotoWire
News: Sale pitched seven shutout innings Wednesday, striking out six while giving up two hits and two walks as the White Sox stifled the Twins.
Impact: Sale now sits at 5-2 in his first full season as a starter, during which his strikeout rate (10.59 K/9IP) over his first two years as a reliever has translated to a new, more strenuous role (8.23 K/9IP). If he can keep his walk rate (2.50 BB/9IP) and batting average against (.209) steady as the season goes on, he could be considered a top-flight fantasy starter by the end of 2012. Alex Rios - #51 - Right Field - 6'5" - 210lbs
Thu. May 24, 2012 |
RotoWire
News: Rios hit a two-run home run Wednesday, ultimately finishing 1-for-4 with two runs scored as the White Sox downed the Twins.
Impact: The homer was Rios' first since Apr. 7 at Texas. Of greater concern, though, is his .228/.299/.329 slash line in 22 games in May, which includes a mere four extra-base hits. This is likely due to an above-average 1.24 ground ball/fly ball ratio, which should balance itself out as the season continues. Paul Konerko - #14 - First Base - 6'2" - 220lbs
Thu. May 24, 2012 |
RotoWire
News: Konerko socked his ninth homer of the season Wednesday as the White Sox defeated the Twins. He finished the night 3-for-4 with three runs scored.
Impact: Konerko extended his hitting streak to nine games, during which he's strafed at a .548 (17-of-31) clip. As a result, he took over the top spot in the American League batting race with a .381 average, two points better than the Rangers' Josh Hamilton. While the season is still young, the 36-year-old Konerko appears to be on pace for a third straight .300-plus season at the plate after reaching that threshold just twice in his first 13 seasons. Gavin Floyd - #34 - Pitcher - 6'6" - 235lbs
Wed. May 23, 2012 |
STATS
News: Floyd struggled in a second straight start Tuesday.
Impact: Floyd allowed nine runs and eight hits in 3 2-3 innings against the Twins on Tuesday. He had given up seven runs and 10 hits in his previous start. Floyd, who has lost eight straight starts to Minnesota, is 3-5 with a 4.66 ERA. Addison Reed - #43 - Pitcher - 6'4" - 220lbs
Wed. May 23, 2012 |
RotoWire
News: Reed has been confirmed as the closer for the White Sox by manager Robin Ventura, Mark Gonzales of ESPN Chicago reports.
Impact: This isn't anything we didn't already know, but at least it should indicate Reed has a longer leash, particularly considering he's been a touch shaky this year. He brings a 17:7 K:BB ratio and a 4.05 ERA into Thursday's games. Orlando Hudson - #5 - Second Base - 6'0" - 190lbs
Wed. May 23, 2012 |
RotoWire
News: Hudson is starting at third base and batting ninth for the White Sox on Wednesday, Mark Gonzales of the Chicago Tribune reports.
Impact: He singled and scored as a pinch-hitter Tuesday night, and it's reasonable to think that Hudson will see a significant run as the White Sox's third baseman while Brent Morel is on the 15-day DL. Paul Konerko - #14 - First Base - 6'2" - 220lbs
Wed. May 23, 2012 |
RotoWire
News: Konerko (eye) went 2-for-4 with a double and an RBI in his return to the lineup Tuesday.
Impact: He appears to be back to his normal self after missing the weekend's slate thanks to a pitch to the face. Konerko remains the most productive member of the White Sox's lineup, recording a hit in 14 of his last 16 contests. Paul Konerko - #14 - First Base - 6'2" - 220lbs
Tue. May 22, 2012 |
RotoWire
News: Konerko (eye) is back in the lineup Tuesday, Mark Gonzales of the Chicago Tribune reports.
Impact: He missed two games after getting hit in the face by a pitch from Jeff Samardzija on Friday afternoon, but Konerko appears to be OK after three days off to rest. Orlando Hudson - #5 - Second Base - 6'0" - 190lbs
Tue. May 22, 2012 |
RotoWire
News: The White Sox have officially signed Hudson, the team's official site reports.
Impact: With Brent Morel having landed on the 15-day DL, retroactive to May 18, Hudson appears to be in line to serve as the team's primary third baseman for the time being. Brent Morel - #22 - Third Base - 6'2" - 220lbs
Tue. May 22, 2012 |
RotoWire
News: Morel (back) has been placed on the DL by the White Sox, retroactive to May 18, the team's official site reports.
Impact: Morel, who is dealing with a lumbar back strain, will be replaced on the team's roster by Orlando Hudson, who is expected to fill in at third base in Morel's absence. Gavin Floyd - #34 - Pitcher - 6'6" - 235lbs
Tue. May 22, 2012 |
RotoWire
News: Floyd was pummeled Tuesday by Minnesota, allowing a whopping nine runs in 3.2 innings.
Impact: The Twins got 11 baserunners against Floyd via eight hits and three walks. Floyd has taken two awful turns in the rotation in a row and has seen his ERA balloon to 4.66. He still has a solid 50:17 K:BB ratio, but he allowed his eighth homer of the season Tuesday and doesn't appear much better than a 4.00 ERA pitcher. Paul Konerko - #14 - First Base - 6'2" - 220lbs
Tue. May 22, 2012 |
STATS
News: Konerko has returned to the lineup for the Chicago White Sox, four days after being hit in the face by a pitch.
Impact: Konerko still has discoloration under his left eye, but says his vision is fine. He was set to bat fourth Tuesday night when the White Sox hosted Minnesota. Konerko is hitting .367 with eight home runs and 23 RBIs. He missed two games after being struck above the left eye by Jeff Samardzija of the Cubs last Friday. Brent Morel - #22 - Third Base - 6'2" - 220lbs
Tue. May 22, 2012 |
RotoWire
News: The White Sox will place Morel (back) on the 15-day DL prior to Tuesday's game, the Chicago Sun-Times reports.
Impact: The official move should come sometime Tuesday afternoon. The Sox will sign Orlando Hudson to fill in at third base while Morel is on the shelf. The duration of Morel's stay on the DL is still TBD, and there is a small risk of Hudson stealing away the White Sox's starting third base gig (assuming he does not flop with the glove). Orlando Hudson - #5 - Second Base - 6'0" - 190lbs
Tue. May 22, 2012 |
RotoWire
News: Hudson should be in uniform for the White Sox's series opener against the Twins on Tuesday, the Chicago Sun-Times reports.
Impact: The official roster move should come sometime Tuesday afternoon, and the club will accompany the move by placing Brent Morel (back) on the 15-day DL. It sounds like Hudson will serve as the Sox's primary third baseman for the duration of Morel's injury, and he will be a backup at second and third once Morel returns. Hudson's value could take a boost as he transitions from one of the most pitcher-friendly parks to one of the more offensively oriented. John Danks - #50 - Pitcher - 6'1" - 215lbs
Sun. May 20, 2012 |
STATS
News: Danks pitched 6 1-3 innings of shutout ball in Saturday's 7-4 win over the Cubs.
Impact: Danks' ERA dropped from 6.46 to 5.70. Adam Dunn - #32 - - 6'6" - 287lbs
Sun. May 20, 2012 |
STATS
News: Dunn walked four times and hit a homer in Saturday's 7-4 win over the Cubs.
Impact: It was the first time in eight games Dunn didn't strike out. Dayan Viciedo - #24 - Left Field - 5'11" - 230lbs
Sun. May 20, 2012 |
STATS
News: Viciedo had two hits - including a homer - and three RBIs in Saturday's 7-4 win over the Cubs.
Impact: Viciedo has four homers in the last six games. Gordon Beckham - #15 - Second Base - 6'0" - 190lbs
May 20, 2012 |
RotoWire
News: Beckham was 1-for-4 at the plate Sunday, driving in two runs on a solo shot and a sacrifice fly in the White Sox's win over the Cubs.
Impact: Beckham collected four hits in the three-game series, including two of his three home runs this season. Since he's batting .273 (6-for-22) over the past five tilts, he could be on the verge of ending his flirtation with the Mendoza line the last two years. Adam Dunn - #32 - - 6'6" - 287lbs
May 20, 2012 |
RotoWire
News: Dunn hit his second home run in as many days Sunday, finishing 1-for-4 with a walk and two strikeouts as the White Sox beat the Cubs to complete the three-game sweep.
Impact: With his 14th bomb of the season, Dunn is tied for second in home runs behind Josh Hamilton, this despite also being second in strikeout percentage at 33.9 percent. While his all-or-nothing attitude at the plate is more balanced in his second season with the White Sox, be wary of a slump from the 32-year-old. Jake Peavy - #44 - Pitcher - 6'1" - 195lbs
May 20, 2012 |
RotoWire
News: Peavy (5-1) took a three-hitter into the seventh inning Sunday, striking out seven while walking two in 6.1 innings as the White Sox blanked the Cubs to finish off the sweep.
Impact: Peavy is once again dominant - which is evident in his eight quality starts in nine nods this year - after injuries limited him the last few seasons. That includes a 2.39 ERA and 0.906 WHIP, numbers that bring back fond memories of his brilliance in 2007 en route to the Cy Young Award. Fantasy owners should continue to roll with Peavy, whose next start is Saturday against the Indians. Brent Morel - #22 - Third Base - 6'2" - 220lbs
May 20, 2012 |
RotoWire
News: Morel (back) remains out of the White Sox lineup Sunday, the team's official site reports.
Impact: Eduardo Escobar got the last two starts at third base for the Sox, but Brent Lillibridge will get the nod there on Sunday. A.J. Pierzynski - #12 - Catcher - 6'3" - 225lbs
May 20, 2012 |
RotoWire
News: Pierzynski is not in the White Sox lineup Sunday against the Cubs, the team's official site reports.
Impact: Pierzynski will sit Sunday in favor of Tyler Flowers, in what is presumably a routine day off for the veteran backstop. Alex Rios - #51 - Right Field - 6'5" - 210lbs
May 20, 2012 |
RotoWire
News: Rios is not in the White Sox lineup Sunday against the Cubs, the team's official site reports.
Impact: Rios, who is 6-for-31 against lefties to date, will give way to Kosuke Fukudome in right field, with the Cubs sending Paul Maholm to the hill Sunday. Orlando Hudson - #5 - Second Base - 6'0" - 190lbs
May 20, 2012 |
RotoWire
News: A White Sox source confirmed the club has signed Hudson, but the deal is not yet official, the team's official site reports.
Impact: The organization plans on plugging in Hudson at third with Brent Morel looking at a DL stint, and he could play second behind Gordon Beckham after Morel returns. Look for an official inking before Sunday's game or during Monday's off day. Paul Konerko - #14 - First Base - 6'2" - 220lbs
May 20, 2012 |
RotoWire
News: Konerko (eye) could return to the White Sox lineup in time for Tuesday's opener against the Twins, the Chicago Sun-Times reports.
Impact: The White Sox are off Monday, and look for Adam Dunn to start at first in Sunday's finale against the Cubs. Konerko escaped a scary injury largely unscathed, and he is not the type of player to be fazed by a HBP. Adam Dunn - #32 - - 6'6" - 287lbs
Sat. May 19, 2012 |
RotoWire
News: Dunn hit a solo home run and walked four times in the White Sox's win over the Cubs on Saturday.
Impact: Interleague play in an NL park has not hindered Dunn's playing time this year as he is swinging a bat infinitely hotter than the 2011 version. Plus, Paul Konerko (face) is out of the lineup. The home run was Dunn's 13th of the season, and he has now hit two more than he did in all of 2011. The four-pack of walks boosted his cumulative OBP to .390. Paul Konerko - #14 - First Base - 6'2" - 220lbs
Sat. May 19, 2012 |
STATS
News: Konerko is out of the lineup Saturday, a day after he was hit near the left eye by a pitch against the Chicago Cubs.
Impact: Konerko underwent tests Friday that revealed no major damage after being hit by Jeff Samardzija. Konerko had a black eye and a cut near his nose hours before the first pitch Saturday night at Wrigley Field. Dayan Viciedo - #24 - Left Field - 5'11" - 230lbs
Sat. May 19, 2012 |
RotoWire
News: Viciedo went 2-for-5 with a two-run home run and three RBI in the White Sox's win over the Cubs on Saturday.
Impact: Viciedo continues to swing a hot bat, with four of his seven home runs coming in the past week. The strikeouts have also flowed a bit more slowly recently. He has just two K in his last 23 at-bats over the home-run binge. John Danks - #50 - Pitcher - 6'1" - 215lbs
Sat. May 19, 2012 |
RotoWire
News: Danks threw 6.1 scoreless innings against the Cubs on Saturday to pick up his third win of the season.
Impact: The start was a nice rebound from the three-inning fiasco against the Tigers that marked his previous outing. He actually retired the Cubs in order through 4.1 innings before Alfonso Soriano hit a double. Poor control had been an issue for Danks through his first eight starts (26:22 K:BB in 47.1 innings), but he posted a respectable 4:1 K:BB ratio Saturday.

News: Konerko's eye is severely swollen, meaning he may be out for longer than a few days, Comcast SportsNet Chicago reports.
Impact: Konerko hopes to avoid the disabled list, but it appears at the very least he will miss multiple games. Adam Dunn, Dayan Viciedo or Brent Lillibridge would be the likely candidates for playing time in place of Konerko. Orlando Hudson - #5 - Second Base - 6'0" - 190lbs
Sat. May 19, 2012 |
RotoWire
News: Hudson appears set to sign with the White Sox, Peter Gammons of MLB.com reports.
Impact: Hudson was released by the Padres on Thursday after struggling mightily at the plate. He would add some depth at second base, where Gordon Beckham isn't performing much better than Hudson this season. Brent Morel - #22 - Third Base - 6'2" - 220lbs
Sat. May 19, 2012 |
RotoWire
News: Morel (back) is not in the White Sox's lineup Saturday and acknowledged that a stint on the disabled list was a possibility, the Chicago Tribune reports.
Impact: Morel is still experiencing tightness in his back and will miss his second straight game. A move to the disabled list would likely be beneficial to the White Sox in adding a more competent player to their roster, as Morel's .177 batting average and two extra-base hits have made him virtually irrelevant in fantasy leagues. Gordon Beckham - #15 - Second Base - 6'0" - 190lbs
Sat. May 19, 2012 |
STATS
News: Beckham hit a tiebreaking homer in a win over the Cubs on Friday.
Impact: It was his third of the season. Beckham had two hits, raising his average to .206. The struggling second baseman has shown flashes of turning it around. He is 4 for 27 (.148) the last seven games. Dayan Viciedo - #24 - Left Field - 5'11" - 230lbs
Sat. May 19, 2012 |
RotoWire
News: Viciedo came off the bench Friday and went 1-for-2 against the Cubs.
Impact: He entered the game after Paul Konerko took a pitch to the eye, with Adam Dunn moving from left to first. Viciedo was expected to be squeezed from the lineup in a DH-less environment, but it looks like he could start alongside Dunn with Konerko likely out of commission for a few days. Paul Konerko - #14 - First Base - 6'2" - 220lbs
Sat. May 19, 2012 |
RotoWire
News: Konerko's CT scan came back clean Friday, the Chicago Tribune reports.
Impact: It looks like he will escape Friday's beaning with just a few cuts around his eye, but he will be examined for post-concussion symptoms Saturday. He should be day-to-day moving forward, but there is a good chance Adam Dunn, and not Konerko, will be at first for Game 2 against the Cubs. Paul Konerko - #14 - First Base - 6'2" - 220lbs
Fri. May 18, 2012 |
RotoWire
News: Konerko left Friday's game against the Cubs after getting hit in the face by a pitch from Jeff Samardzija.
Impact: Fortunately, Konerko was able to walk off under his own power and he may have narrowly avoided a serious injury as the ball appeared to hit the brim of Konerko's battling helmet before hitting his face. Nevertheless, he's considered day-to-day and will undergo further evaluation. Dayan Viciedo took over for Konerko as a pinch-runner, and Adam Dunn moved back to first base. Chris Sale - #49 - Pitcher - 6'6" - 180lbs
Fri. May 18, 2012 |
STATS
News: Sale improved to 4-2 on Thursday in a 6-1 win over the Angels. He pitched effectively into the sixth inning and struck out seven.
Impact: Sale joined lefty Steve Rosenberg (1989) as the only White Sox pitchers to give up three runs or less in each of their first six big league starts since divisional play began in 1969. "I guess that's a cool stat, but it's obviously something I don't pay attention to at all," Sale said. A.J. Pierzynski - #12 - Catcher - 6'3" - 225lbs
Fri. May 18, 2012 |
STATS
News: Pierzynski had three hits and two RBIs Thursday in a 6-1 win over the Angels.
Impact: Pierzynski is a.304 hitter against the Cubs, with a .300 average at Wrigley Field as the ChiSox open a three-game set Friday. Alexei Ramirez - #10 - Short Stop - 6'2" - 175lbs
Fri. May 18, 2012 |

Fri. May 18, 2012 |

News: Rios had two hits Thursday in a 6-1 win over the Angels.
Impact: Rios owns a .317 average against the Cubs, the next opponent for the ChiSox. Adam Dunn - #32 - - 6'6" - 287lbs
Fri. May 18, 2012 |
STATS
News: Dunn had two hits and two RBIs Thursday in a 6-1 win over the Angels.
Impact: Dunn has gone hitless in his last 22 at-bats against the Cubs with 13 strikeouts heading into Friday's matchup. Gordon Beckham - #15 - Second Base - 6'0" - 190lbs
Fri. May 18, 2012 |
RotoWire
News: Beckham went 2-for-4 with a solo homer and two runs scored against the Cubs on Friday.
Impact: The blast, Beckham's third of the season, stood as the eventual game-winning run for the White Sox on Friday afternoon. Although he still isn't tearing the cover off the ball, Beckham has heated up in May with a 17-for-67 mark, including three homers and nine RBI over his last 18 games. Addison Reed - #43 - Pitcher - 6'4" - 220lbs
Fri. May 18, 2012 |
RotoWire
News: Reed gave up a hit, but struck out a batter and converted his fourth save of the season Friday against the Cubs.
Impact: Around a meltdown in Kansas City on Sunday, Reed has pitched well in April with five scoreless appearances and five strikeouts against one walk during that span with four converted save opportunities. It appears as though the closer's role is now Reed's to lose after the White Sox juggled Chris Sale between the rotation and bullpen last week. Philip Humber - #41 - Pitcher - 6'3" - 210lbs
Fri. May 18, 2012 |
RotoWire
News: Humber gave up two runs on five hits over 6.1 innings while striking out three and walking two in a no-decision against the Cubs on Friday.
Impact: It was another step in the right direction for Humber, who struck out seven and held the Royals to one run on four hits over 6.2 innings in his last start. As it currently lines up, Humber will face one of his former clubs at U.S. Cellular Field on Thursday when the White Sox host the Twins. Paul Konerko - #14 - First Base - 6'2" - 220lbs
Fri. May 18, 2012 |
RotoWire
News: Konerko (face) had a cut below his left eye and swelling after getting hit by a pitch from Jeff Samardzija on Friday, Mark Gonzales of the Chicago Tribune reports.
Impact: He was sent for further tests, but for now Konerko should be considered day-to-day. Eduardo Escobar - #38 - Second Base - 5'10" - 165lbs
Fri. May 18, 2012 |
RotoWire
News: Escobar will start at third base Friday against the Cubs, the Chicago Sun Times' Daryl Van Schouwen reports.
Impact: Escobar is starting in place of Brent Morel, who was scratched with a back injury. Escobar has struggled so far this year, as he's hitting .176 (6-for-36) in 12 games this season. Brent Morel - #22 - Third Base - 6'2" - 220lbs
Fri. May 18, 2012 |
RotoWire
News: Morel (back) has been scratched from the starting lineup Friday, the Chicago Sun Times' Daryl Van Schouwen reports.
Impact: Eduardo Escobar will start in his place. Morel had back issues earlier this month and it looks like they have flared up again. No word on if he'll miss more than just one game. Dayan Viciedo - #24 - Left Field - 5'11" - 230lbs
Fri. May 18, 2012 |
RotoWire
News: Viciedo is not in Friday's lineup against the Cubs, Mark Gonzales of the Chicago Tribune reports.
Impact: Viciedo, who has homered in his last two starts and three times in four games overall, will take a seat Friday, with Adan Dunn starting in left field for the White Sox. Chris Sale - #49 - Pitcher - 6'6" - 180lbs
Thu. May 17, 2012 |
RotoWire
News: Sale allowed just one run and five hits over 5.1 innings to earn the win against the Angels on Thursday. He walked one and struck out seven.
Impact: Sale needed 103 pitches to get through less than six innings, but it was still good enough for his fourth win of the year. Sale's seven punchouts are a good sign, as his strikeout total had been down a bit recently; he fanned just 12 batters over his previous 20 innings. Orlando Hudson - #5 - Second Base - 6'0" - 190lbs
Thu. May 17, 2012 |
RotoWire
News: Hudson was designated for assignment by the Padres on Thursday, ESPN's Buster Olney reports.
Impact: "O-dog" has been awful at the plate this season, and currently has a .211/.260/.317 batting line. His best days are clearly in the past, but Hudson will probably make it back to the big leagues before the season ends. Andy Parrino should see more playing time with Hudson out of the picture. Jesse Crain - #26 - Pitcher - 6'1" - 215lbs
Thu. May 17, 2012 |
RotoWire
News: Crain (oblique) threw a scoreless seventh inning against the Angels on Tuesday.
Impact: The appearance was his first since coming off the disabled list Monday. Crain allowed a pair of base runners in the inning, but he picked off a would-be-stealing Mike Trout. He should assume his role as one of the club's most-often-used relievers. Dayan Viciedo - #24 - Left Field - 5'11" - 230lbs
Thu. May 17, 2012 |
RotoWire
News: Viciedo went 3-for-4 with a solo home run in the White Sox's loss to the Angels on Tuesday.
Impact: The White Sox's left fielder has put together a pleasant three-game stretch, going 7-for-12 with two home runs and six RBI against the Tigers and Angels. A batting average hovering around .200 has likely suppressed Viciedo's fantasy value to this point, but he could be one of the few sources of power available on deeper leagues' waiver wires. Gavin Floyd - #34 - Pitcher - 6'6" - 235lbs
Wed. May 16, 2012 |
RotoWire
News: Floyd got bombed over six innings in Wednesday's loss to the Angels, as he gave up seven earned runs.
Impact: Floyd really got roughed up by the Angels with a WHIP on the night just a shade under 2.00. His ERA climbed to 3.44 while his WHIP remains low at 1.05. It would seem more nights like this are on the horizon and less like the 7.2-inning scoreless gem he hurled in his last start. Dayan Viciedo - #24 - Left Field - 5'11" - 230lbs
Wed. May 16, 2012 |
STATS
News: Viciedo had two hits in a 10-8 loss to Detroit on Tuesday.
Impact: Viciedo went 4 for 8 with five RBIs in the series. Alejandro De Aza - #30 - Center Field - 6'0" - 190lbs
Wed. May 16, 2012 |

News: Pierzynski went 5 for 5 and drove in three runs in a 10-8 loss to Detroit on Tuesday.
Impact: Pierzynski went 6 for 9 in the series. Jake Peavy - #44 - Pitcher - 6'1" - 195lbs
Wed. May 16, 2012 |
STATS
News: Peavy was awful in a 10-8 loss to Detroit on Tuesday.
Impact: Peavy sailed into the sixth with a 6-0 lead before he fell apart, recording one out before being lifted as he was charged with six runs. A.J. Pierzynski - #12 - Catcher - 6'3" - 225lbs
Wed. May 16, 2012 |
RotoWire
News: Pierzynski went 5-for-5 with a double and three RBI in the White Sox's loss to the Tigers on Tuesday.
Impact: The five hits were a career-best for Pierzynski, and they stemmed an 8-for-45 slump to the month of May. He continues to yield about a start or two per week to backup Tyler Flowers, but the rest could become more frequent as the weather starts to warm. Jake Peavy - #44 - Pitcher - 6'1" - 195lbs
Tue. May 15, 2012 |
RotoWire
News: Peavy gave up six runs on nine hits over 5.1 innings in a no-decision against the Tigers on Tuesday afternoon.
Impact: It was by far the worst start of the season for Peavy, who served up a pair of homers to Miguel Cabrera and Ryan Raburn prior to departing. There's not much to worry about in a bad outing against a division foe that Peavy has already seen three times this season. He'll face the Cubs at Wrigley Field on Sunday for his next start. Adam Dunn - #32 - - 6'6" - 287lbs
Tue. May 15, 2012 |
STATS
News: Dunn went deep again in a 7-5 win over the Tigers on Monday night.
Impact: Dunn hit his 12th homer in Chicago's 36th game on Monday night, surpassing his total for all of last season. Alexei Ramirez - #10 - Short Stop - 6'2" - 175lbs
Tue. May 15, 2012 |

Tue. May 15, 2012 |
STATS
News: Danks lasted three-plus innings and gave up five runs in a 7-5 win over the Tigers on Monday night.
Impact: Danks saw his ERA inflated to 6.46. ``It's on me. Physically I feel great,'' he said. ``I've just got to go out there and do it. Jesse Crain - #26 - Pitcher - 6'1" - 215lbs
Tue. May 15, 2012 |
STATS
News: The Chicago White Sox have placed Crain on the 15-day disabled list because of a strained left oblique and recalled right-hander Dylan Axelrod from Triple-A Charlotte.
Impact: Crain hasn't pitched since April 20, and he wound up on the DL even though manager Robin Ventura had said he didn't expect him to land there. The 30-year-old right-hander is 0-0 with a 2.57 ERA and has 10 strikeouts in seven innings over six appearances. Jesse Crain - #26 - Pitcher - 6'1" - 215lbs
Tue. May 15, 2012 |
RotoWire
News: Crain (oblique) was activated from the 15-day disabled list on Tuesday, the White Sox's official Twitter page reports.
Impact: Eric Stults was designated for assignment to free up space for the returning Crain. Crain has struck out 10 batters (against just one walk) in his seven innings of work on the year, and his return should provide a boost to the White Sox's bullpen, but he doesn't appear to be in the closer discussion, though that could change quickly the way things have been going in Chicago this season. Dayan Viciedo - #24 - Left Field - 5'11" - 230lbs
Tue. May 15, 2012 |
RotoWire
News: Viciedo went 2-for-3 with a two-run home run in the White Sox's win over the Tigers on Monday.
Impact: The home run marked Viciedo's first since April 26. In fact, it was his first extra-base hit since April 26. He could take a seat this weekend when the White Sox play at the DH-less Wrigley Field, as the team has tossed out the idea of Adam Dunn playing left for part of the series. John Danks - #50 - Pitcher - 6'1" - 215lbs
Mon. May 14, 2012 |
RotoWire
News: Danks gave up five runs on nine hits over three innings before getting removed from Monday's win over the Tigers.
Impact: He did not factor in the decision, and failed to strike out a batter during a start for the first time this season. Danks has been struggling in a big way over his last three starts, carrying a 2:7 K:BB over 17 innings while giving up 14 runs during that span. He'll attempt to turn it around Saturday against the Cubs at Wrigley Field. Addison Reed - #43 - Pitcher - 6'4" - 220lbs
Mon. May 14, 2012 |
RotoWire
News: Reed pitched a scoreless ninth inning Monday night against the Tigers for his third save of the season.
Impact: He gave up a hit and walked one, but Reed appears to be the primary option for the closer spot in Chicago as Chris Sale was moved back into the rotation Friday after recently getting moved to the bullpen. Hector Santiago worked a scoreless seventh inning while Matt Thornton pitched the eighth. Orlando Hudson - #5 - Second Base - 6'0" - 190lbs
Mon. May 14, 2012 |
RotoWire
News: Hudson was 1-for-4 with a run scored and two RBI, while adding his third stolen base of the season Monday night.
Impact: Hitting just .209, there have been persistent rumors that the Padres might opt to cut the veteran loose, so productivity is especially important right now. Unfortunately, it appears his days as a significant contributor to fantasy lineups are probably behind him. Philip Humber - #41 - Pitcher - 6'3" - 210lbs
Mon. May 14, 2012 |
STATS
News: Humber pitched well for the first time since his perfect game April 21, allowing one run and striking out seven in 6 2-3 innings before the bullpen cost him a victory in Sunday's loss to Kansas City.

Mon. May 14, 2012 |
RotoWire
News: Crain (oblique) expects to be activated from the 15-day disabled list Tuesday, ESPN Chicago reports.
Impact: Crain will likely begin working the middle innings for the White Sox, but he could pitch his way into the closer-by-committee discussions if no one runs away with the job. Alexei Ramirez - #10 - Short Stop - 6'2" - 175lbs
Mon. May 14, 2012 |
RotoWire
News: Ramirez is back in Monday's lineup against the Tigers, Mark Gonzales of the Chicago Tribune reports.
Impact: An 0-for-7 skid has dropped Ramirez's average to .199, an unsightly mark that makes him a potential buy-low candidate. Alejandro De Aza - #30 - Center Field - 6'0" - 190lbs
Mon. May 14, 2012 |
RotoWire
News: De Aza is back in Monday's lineup against the Tigers, Mark Gonzales of the Chicago Tribune reports.
Impact: De Aza started Sunday's game on the bench, but he ended up replacing Brent Lillibridge, going 1-for-2. Adam Dunn - #32 - - 6'6" - 287lbs
Mon. May 14, 2012 |
RotoWire
News: Dunn could play left field during the White Sox's interleague play in National League parks, the Chicago Sun-Times reports.
Impact: A hot start to Dunn's season means the White Sox cannot afford to sit him on the bench for three straight games. Last season, he played a few games at first in NL parks, but Paul Konerko has one of the club's few other capable bats. Dunn has not played left since 2009, so he could be a bit shaky out there, but at least his bat will be in the lineup. Addison Reed - #43 - Pitcher - 6'4" - 220lbs
Mon. May 14, 2012 |
RotoWire
News: Reed allowed six runs on two hits in just one-third of an inning against the Royals on Saturday.
Impact: He entered the game without having allowed a run to this point this season, but he left the game with a 5.23 ERA. It is worth noting two of the season-high three walks he issued were intentional, but he also hit a batter to drive in a run. The poor showing likely will not affect his status much in the White Sox's new pecking order. Chris Sale - #49 - Pitcher - 6'6" - 180lbs
Sun. May 13, 2012 |
STATS
News: Sale went down to defeat in a 5-0 loss to the Royals on Saturday night.
Impact: Sale, returning to the rotation after a one-appearance stint in the bullpen with a sore elbow, made his first start since May 1 and lasted five innings. He gave up three runs. Sale said a 56-minute rain delay was no big deal and that he felt fine despite the length of time between starts. Alexei Ramirez - #10 - Short Stop - 6'2" - 175lbs
May 13, 2012 |
RotoWire
News: Ramirez is out of Sunday's lineup, CSN Chicago reports.
Impact: Ramirez will give way to Eduardo Escobar after playing the last 10 games. He's slumping badly to begin the year, sporting just a .199/.216/.257 line, so maybe the day of rest will help him out a bit. Alejandro De Aza - #30 - Center Field - 6'0" - 190lbs
May 13, 2012 |
RotoWire
News: De Aza is out of Sunday's lineup, CSN Chicago reports.
Impact: De Aza sat the previous Sunday as well and the White Sox are using the game to give multiple starters rest. Brent Lillibridge is in center field. Jesse Crain - #26 - Pitcher - 6'1" - 215lbs
May 13, 2012 |
RotoWire
News: Crain will make another rehab appearance Sunday for Triple-A Charlotte, the Chicago Sun-Times reports.
Impact: This should be his final outing of the rehab assignment. Manager Robin Ventura announced the club will be moving back to a closer-by-committee scenario, and Crain could conceivably get in on that action. Brent Morel - #22 - Third Base - 6'2" - 220lbs
Sat. May 12, 2012 |
RotoWire
News: Morel (back) went 1-for-2 with a steal and a walk in the White Sox's loss to the Royals on Saturday.
Impact: He received a cortisone shot recently, and said his back feels significantly better. Morel will continue to hit toward the bottom of the lineup until his bat comes back around. Chris Sale - #49 - Pitcher - 6'6" - 180lbs
Sat. May 12, 2012 |
RotoWire
News: Sale (elbow) allowed three runs on seven hits over five innings against the Royals on Saturday to take his second loss of the season.
Impact: He got off to a rocky start in this one. All of the Royals' damage came in the first inning as they sent nine batters to the plate. He needed 103 pitches to record 15 outs, and that pitch count is a bit disconcerting considering his recent elbow worry. Sale probably did not undergo his normal inter-start routine since his last outing given the team's attempt to send him to the closer role, so we would expect more effective results as he returns to normalcy. Chris Sale - #49 - Pitcher - 6'6" - 180lbs
Sat. May 12, 2012 |
STATS
News: Sale's sore elbow was clean and the hard-throwing Chicago White Sox lefty will be back in the rotation, maybe as early as Saturday.
Impact: Chicago general manager Ken Williams said Friday that Sale convinced him that the discomfort he felt in the elbow area was just soreness and not pain. Williams said the team will continue to monitor the promising 23-year-old. Sale went 3-1 with a 2.81 ERA in five starts before manager Robin Ventura moved the former reliever into the closer's role as a precautionary measure. Sale pitched one game in relief.

STATS
News: The White Sox staked Peavy to an early eight-run lead and he cruised for seven innings on Thursday night as Chicago rocked Cleveland 8-1 to split the four-game series against the AL Central-leading Indians.
Impact: Peavy (4-1) allowed seven hits, struck out five and had little difficulty in subduing the Indians, who didn't get a runner past second base until the seventh. He has been overpowering in his last five starts, posting a 1.36 ERA. John Danks - #50 - Pitcher - 6'1" - 215lbs
Wed. May 9, 2012 |
STATS
News: Danks had oneof his better outings of the season Tuesday, but didn't receive the decision in a win over the Indians.
Impact: Danks gave up two runs and five hits in seven innings after allowed 14 runs the previous two starts. He lowered his ERA to 5.89, but is winless in his last three starts. Alex Rios - #51 - Right Field - 6'5" - 210lbs

Impact: After hitting five home runs the previous seven games, Dunn had a tough day Monday, also grounding into a double play. He's hitting .236 with nine homers and 45 strikeouts. Jose Quintana - #62 - Pitcher - 6'0" - 215lbs
Tue. May 8, 2012 |
STATS
News: Quintana made quite an impression in his major league debut, saving Chicago's bullpen after Phil Humber's awful outing Monday.
Impact: He pitched 5 2-3 innings of scoreless relief, giving up one hit, striking out three and walking two. The 23-year-old was optioned to Double-A Monday night, but may have earned himself another look down the line. It was the longest outing by a Chicago reliever since Tom Fordham went that distance on Sept. 5, 1997. Philip Humber - #41 - Pitcher - 6'3" - 210lbs
Tue. May 8, 2012 |
STATS
News: Humber's post-perfect game slump continues Monday as he was chased in the third inning.
