NEW YORK (AP) — White Sox pitcher Wikelman González will miss
the rest of the season because of a right elbow impingement and
Chicago outfielder Mike Tauchman will be out because of a right
knee meniscus tear that requires surgery.
González was placed on the 15-day injured list Wednesday and
Tauchman on the 10-day IL. Both moves were retroactive to
Sunday.
White Sox manager Will Venable said González was feeling pain.
“I think there’s not a lot of long-term concern,” Venable said.
“I think he could pitch. Just want to protect him a little bit.”
Outfielder Derek Hill was claimed off waivers from Miami and
right-hander Jonathan Cannon was recalled from Triple-A
Charlotte. Hill was due to arrive in New York later Wednesday.
A 23-year-old right-hander, González made his major league debut
on June 20 and went 1-0 with a 2.66 ERA in 16 relief
appearances, striking out 25 and walking 12 in 20 1/3 innings.
Tauchman, 34, hit .263 with nine homers and 40 RBIs in 93 games
this season. He told White Sox beat writers he will have surgery
Tuesday.
“He really set the tone for going out there and grinding through
a lot of physical ailments, and his body just eventually just
gave up on him there,” Venable said.
