Chris Sale News

As fantasy owners, we cringe at the thought of seeing our pitcher's line in the box score at the end of the day with a five, six or higher number in the "ER" column.

White Sox fans and players circled this coming weekend on the 2013 baseball calendar when the schedule was first released last September.

Chris Sale won't be the only White Sox starting pitcher who will receive an occasional break, as he did last season.

Clay Buchholz pitched five-hit ball over seven innings to improve to 7-0, and the Boston Red Sox beat the Chicago White Sox 6-2 Wednesday night to avoid a three-game sweep.

C.J. Wilson struck out 10 in eight innings, Josh Hamilton had a two-run single and the Los Angeles Angels beat Seattle 7-1 on Wednesday to hand the Mariners their season-worst sixth straight loss.

On September 2nd, 2012 the Tigers and the White Sox faced off in the final game of a three-game series.

Chris Sale has been fairly ridiculous this season. He's pitching deep into games, he's not allowing runs, he's striking out nearly a quarter of the batters that face him.

When John Danks returns to the White Sox rotation, there will be room only for Hector Santiago or Dylan Axelrod -- not both.

There's still no word on whether starter John Danks will return to the rotation later this week.

White Sox ace Chris Sale was scheduled to start Wednesday night, but instead he's been scratched due to a "mild case of tendinitis in his left posterior shoulder," the White Sox told reporters Tuesday .

Jeff Keppinger, yes, Jeff Keppinger, supplied all the offense the White Sox would need in support of Jose Quintana .

He watched his teammate, Chris Sale, build up the anticipation of the crowd on May 12, when he went 19 straight outs without allowing a hit and finished the game with a one-hit shutout.

May 19, 2013; Anaheim, CA, USA; Los Angeles Angels left fielder J.B. Shuck and catcher Chris Iannetta celebrate with center fielder Mike Trout after both running in a score off of a hit by Los Angeles Angels short stop Erick Aybar against the Chicago White Sox during the third inning at Angel Stadium of Anaheim.

The Chicago White Sox attempt to stay hot as they take on the Los Angeles Angels of Anaheim in the third portion of a four-game set in the Golden State.

Who's hot: Buchholz has allowed two earned runs or fewer in eight of his nine starts and has allowed only two home runs in 65 2/3 innings.

Cubs pitcher Scott Feldman watches his RBI double in the fourth inning as New York Mets catcher John Buck looks on Saturday at Wrigley Field.

After putting nine runs on the board, the Chicago White Sox were still lamenting the six baserunners they stranded in the first three innings against Joe Blanton.

After last night's debacle in which Chris Sale dominated the Halos, Alberto Callaspo & Co.

Left-handers Hector Santiago and John Danks could dictate the makeup of the White Sox pitching staff when they return to Chicago next week if their performances Saturday go as hoped.
