White Sox being cautious with Gordon Beckham

The White Sox continue to take a cautious approach with second baseman Gordon Beckham, who has sat out the last few games on his rehab assignment due to pain in his strained left oblique when he swings a bat.

"I would characterize it as he feels a stabbing pain at times or a tenderness and stiffness when he swings, and we are just not going to push through it," White Sox general manager Rick Hahn said, per MLB.com. "Again, we've talked about from Day 1 on obliques, we are always hesitant to put a time frame on injury recovery because things happen, but obliques are even more tricky in that regard.

"You never know until you are back playing every day without restriction on a consistent basis, you can never really say it's behind you. Right now, we are going to err on the side of caution and hopefully get him back out there in the coming days."
