Gordon Beckham progressing from injury

White Sox second baseman Gordon Beckham continued to take light swings in the batting cage on Monday as he recovers from a broken hamate bone (wrist). He added that his hand has been progressing the last few days.

"There's a lot to be excited about the way I'm swinging," Beckham said. "The second day I woke up after I hit, it was definitely sore. I woke up today and there was a lot less soreness from yesterday. I felt pretty good swinging the bat. When it's the right pitch, the right swing it's doing the right thing, but there are some pitches that tie me up that I don't feel comfortable with yet."

The 26-year-old plans on taking batting practice later in the week and hopes to head out on a rehab assignment in the near future.

"It's kind of like going back to spring training again," Beckham said. "You've got to see some pitches … I have to feel that with time, I'm going to start feeling comfortable back in the box again."
