Chisoxfn Posted June 6, 2004 Share Posted June 6, 2004 White Sox Recall Jamie Burke By Jason Gage June 5, 2004 FutureSox.com The Chicago White Sox recalled catcher/infielder Jamie Burke from Charlotte. Burke replaces Magglio Ordonez on the White Sox roster. Ordonez is expected to miss 4-7 weeks after undergoing knee surgery. The surgery appears to have went well and the doctors felt the injury was less severe then originally suspected. Ordonez was able to walk after the operation and will likely begin his rehab assignment on Monday. Jamie Burke probably won't stay on the White Sox roster for long as Joe Borchard is coming back from a leg injury. Borchard was recently mentioned in some trade talks with the Seattle Mariners for Freddy Garcia, but Ken Williams came out and said Borchad wasn't going anywhere while prize prospect Jeremy Reed is "untouchable". Borchard homered in his second game back and has hit safely in the three games he has played in since his brief absence from the lineup. Borchard had 10 homers on the season and is hitting .286 with 38 RBI. Burke was hitting .213 with 1 HR and 11 RBI. He played in 3 games with the White Sox earlier in the year going 0-1 with a walk.
