The White Sox have placed 33-year old lefty reliever Matt Thornton on the 15-day disabled list due to a sore forearm. Thornton has pitched in 50 games (0 starts) for the Pale Hose and he was 3-4 with 5 saves, a 2.66 ERA and a 1.10 WHIP. He has whiffed 64 batters while only allowing 37 hits in 47 1/3 innings this season for the White Sox. The White Sox have activated 28-year old lefty reliever Eric Threets off the D.L. to replace Thornton in the pen. Threets has pitched in 9 games (0 starts) for the White Sox this year and he is 0-0 with a 0.00 ERA and a 1.07 WHIP. Threets is nowhere near Thornton’s class as a reliever but the White Sox hope he can handle the lefty swingers until Thornton comes back.
