CHICAGO (AP) - Calm and composed throughout his 16-year big league career, Mark Buehrle is bracing for the worst when the Chicago White Sox honor their longtime ace by retiring his No. 56 on Saturday. "Complete disaster," he said. Buehrle figures he will be a wreck when he steps onto the field prior to Chicago's game against Oakland for a ceremony 12 seasons in the making. He will become the 12th player to have his number retired by the White Sox, joining former teammates Paul Konerko and Hall of Famer Frank Thomas. And it sure will be a fitting tribute. After all, Buehrle played on a World Series winner, threw a perfect game as well as another no-hitter and made four All-Star teams during his Continue to Article

A few years ago, White Sox pitching coach Don Cooper said on CSN's SportsTalk Live that Mark Buehrle had a beer -- or a few beers -- before saving Game 3 of the 2005 World Series. The thing a lot of people talk about with that one is this rumor that I drank a few beers before I got the save in our Game 3 victory. Continue to Article

MINNEAPOLIS -- Guess who’s back? Jose Quintana turned in the kind of game on early Thursday evening that reminds you why he has been one of baseball’s top pitchers the past few seasons. Working with a swing-and-miss curveball/changeup combo, Quintana waited out a near five-hour delay to produce a stellar outing. Quintana struck out nine batters in 6 2/3 scoreless innings as the White Sox avoided a sweep with a 9-0 victory over the Minnesota Twins in front of 27,684 at Target Field. Jose Abreu, Todd Frazier and Matt Davidson all homered for the White Sox, who finished with 18 hits and a 3-3 mark on their road trip. Even though it’s clear his crisp stuff makes all the difference, Quintana joked Continue to Article

Already told he would be cut, catcher Stephen Vogt asked the Oakland Athletics to announce his departure Thursday rather than be a distraction before a game against Houston the previous night. Rookie infielder Matt Chapman went on the 10-day disabled list with an infection in his left knee that kept him out of three straight games. General manager David Forst said Chapman was hospitalized Wednesday night to receive an intravenous antibiotic for his knee cellulitis, reports were good Thursday and he should be released Friday.

OAKLAND – A’s shortstop Marcus Semien will head out to join Class-A Stockton Friday to begin an injury rehabilitation assignment that could have him back on the field before the All-Star break. The A’s can’t be sure how much time Semien will need to get back in game-ready shape. He hasn’t played a game since April 14 after suffering a fractured right wrist and undergoing surgery. “It’s going to look maybe a little like spring training,” manager Bob Melvin said of Semien’s comeback timetable. “It’s not going to be one or two games or even three or four.” The plan is to have Semien start out at five innings and gradually get stretched out to nine innings. And once he gets to nine innings, the club Continue to Article
