29-year old righty starting pitcher Jake Peavy walked off the mound in the 2nd inning last night against the Angels and it might be the last time we see him in uniform this year. That is because Peavy has a detached muscle in his right shoulder. Peavy has started 17 games for the White Sox this season and he was 7-6 with a 4.63 ERA and a 1.23 WHIP. The White Sox have placed Peavy on the 15-day disabled list and they have recalled 25-year old righty starting pitcher Jeff Marquez to replace him on the roster for now. Marquez has started 17 games in AAA-ball this year and he is 7-4 with a 4.02 ERA and a 1.38 WHIP. He will likely pitch out of the bullpen until Saturday when Peavy’s spot comes up in the rotation. The White Sox will then likely recall 23-year old righty starting pitcher Daniel Hudson to replace Peavy in the rotation. Hudson has started 17 games in AAA-ball this season and he is 11-4 with a 3.47 ERA and a 1.20 WHIP. Hudson has only given up 81 hits in 93 1/3 innings in AAA-ball this season and he has 108 whiffs showing what kind of stuff he has. He got his first taste of the majors last season working in 6 games (2 starts) for the White Sox when he was 1-1 with a 3.38 ERA and a 1.34 WHIP. Hudson was the White Sox’ #3 prospect heading into this season so the White Sox think he will do o.k. for them.

UPDATE: (7/9/2010) - Peavy will miss the rest of the season as he needs surgery to fix his torn muscle.

The White Sox have placed starting 3B Mark Teahan on the 15-day disabled list with a fractured right middle finger. Teahan has played in 45 games for the White Sox this year and he is 35 of 137 (.255 avg, .727 OPS) with 16 runs scored, 3 homers, 14 RBIs and 3 stolen bases. 27-year old righty swinging Jayson Nix and 43-year old switch hitting Omar Vizquel will likely both see bumps in P.T. due to Teahan’s injury. Nix has played in 17 games for the Pale Hose this year and he is 5 of 30 (.167 avg, .531 OPS) with 2 runs scored, 1 homer and 5 RBIs. Omar Vizquel has played in 17 games this year for the White Sox and he is 11 of 50 (.220 avg, .533 OPS) with 4 runs scored and 4 RBIs. I’m betting on Nix to get more of the playing time at 3B because of his power. The White Sox have recalled 26-year old righty swinging infielder Brent Lillibridge who will likely be a utility player for them. Lillibridge has played in 48 games in AAA-ball this year and he is 50 of 185 (.270 avg, .708 OPS) with 26 runs scored, 4 homers, 16 RBIs and 19 stolen bases. He played in 46 games for the White Sox last year and he was 15 of 95 (.158 avg, .452 OPS) with 9 runs scored, 3 RBIs and 6 stolen bases. With the way Teahan was playing I don’t think the White Sox will miss him too much.

UPDATE: (6/3/2010) - Teahan has had surgery on his right middle finger that will cause him to miss the next 4-6 weeks.

The White Sox have placed backup catcher Ramon Castro on the 15-day disabled list with a bruised right heel. This means that A.J. Pierzynski isn’t going to get much time off this season until Castro returns to action. The White Sox will miss him power on the days that Pierzynski isn’t playing.

The White Sox have lost 21-year old lefty swinging outfielder Jared Mitchell for the 2010 season due to surgery he needed to repair a torn left ankle tendon. Mitchell was the #1 rated prospect of the White Sox heading into this season according to Baseball America. Mitchell played in 34 games in A-Ball last season in which he was 34 of 115 (.296 avg, .852 OPS) with 13 runs scored, 0 homers, 10 RBIs and 5 stolen bases. This will set back Mitchell’s estimated time of arrival by one year for the White Sox.

The White Sox have shut down 26-year old lefty swinging 2B Chris Getz for the year due to sports hernia surgery that he is to have done tomorrow. Getz had a solid year for the White Sox playing in 107 games in which he was 98 for 375 (.261 avg, .671 OPS) with 49 runs scored, 2 homers, 31 RBIs and 25 stolen bases. Getz will be replaced in the starting lineup by 27-year old righty swinging Jayson Nix. Nix has played in 90 games for the Pale Hose this season and he is 57 for 247 (.231 avg, .735 OPS) with 36 runs scored, 12 homers, 32 RBIs and 10 stolen bases. Nix has more power than Getz but not as much speed so the White Sox will likely be o.k. at 2B the rest of the season.
