cabiness42 Posted April 4, 2014 Share Posted April 4, 2014 KANSAS CITY - Prior to today’s game at Kansas City, the Chicago White Sox placed right-handed reliever Nate Jones on the 15-day disabled list with a muscle strain in his left hip and recalled right-hander Jake Petricka (puh-TRICH-kuh) from Class AAA Charlotte. Petricka, 25, appeared in 16 games with Chicago last season, his first in the major leagues. He went 1-1 with a 3.26 ERA (7 ER/19.1 IP) and 10 strikeouts after making his major-league debut on August 22 at Kansas City. Petricka also was 5-0 with a 1.81 ERA (11 ER/54.2 IP), one save and 58 strikeouts over 31 combined games (one start) between Charlotte and Class AA Birmingham last season. Jones, 28, has appeared in two games this season (4 ER/0.0 IP). He made eight Cactus League appearances after being sidelined for the start of spring with a left glute strain. Jones is 12-5 with a 3.55 ERA (59 ER/149.2 IP), 23 holds and 154 strikeouts over 137 career appearances with the White Sox since 2012. He ranks among the American League relief leaders since 2012 in IP (2nd), wins (T2nd), winning percentage (7th), strikeouts (9th) and games (12th).

This could explain many of the inconsistent especially high pitches. The glute pain wound not allow a proper follow through with pain from the eccentric contraction of the left glute max. This type of contraction produces the greatest amount of force and causes all the soreness from muscle work. That being said let's hope this isn't just an excuse.

2nd_city_saint787 Posted April 4, 2014 Share Posted April 4, 2014 Anyone know if he'll be available for todays game? With the way the bullpen has been used the last 2 days they sure could use him. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
cabiness42 Posted April 4, 2014 Author Share Posted April 4, 2014 Anyone know if he'll be available for todays game? With the way the bullpen has been used the last 2 days they sure could use him. He didn't pitch for Charlotte last night, so I would think he'd be available. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Y2Jimmy0 Posted April 4, 2014 Share Posted April 4, 2014 QUOTE (raBBit @ Apr 4, 2014 -> 11:13 AM) The bright side is we have a guy like Petricka waiting in the wings. Get yourself straight Big Nate! Surprised it wasn't Guerra that got recalled. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
cabiness42 Posted April 4, 2014 Author Share Posted April 4, 2014 Surprised it wasn't Guerra that got recalled. Guerra is not on the 40-man roster. Also, if/when Guerra is called up, he does not have options and can't be sent back down without clearing waivers. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Also, if/when Guerra is called up, he does not have options and can't be sent back down without clearing waivers. He through 2 nice pitches and then couldn't control anything. It wasn't like him. Glad there was a reason. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Donny Lucy's Avocado Farm Posted April 4, 2014 Share Posted April 4, 2014 Gotta say, It's nice having legit depth in AAA, though it is just a middle reliever. Semien is another example. Beckham goes down, Sox don't miss a beat. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Not wishing him injury or anything There has been a noticeable drop in defense when Garcia has been in for sure. Semien makes the turn OK, but nothing like Gordo.

ptatc Posted April 11, 2014 Share Posted April 11, 2014 Turns out his problem wasn't a glue problem but it's actually a nerve issue from his back. Not an uncommon mistake, but one I would have thought they would have caught before now. This really explains why he had trouble flexing his spine and hip on the follow through.

Depends on if the epidural relieves the pain. If it does it could have been just a nerve irritation. If this is the case, he'll be redy when the 15 day stint is over. If it persists it could from a disk or another anatomical source. This could be vary on rehab time depending on the source. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

He should be the consultant to the media for all local sports injuries. I appreciate the sentiment but these are just educated guesses based on experience. I would be crucified in a public forum. It's kind of like predicting the weather. People closer to the case know what going on. I hear a few things from friends but it's mostly educated guesses for prognosis. Describing the injury and anatomy is more scientific and accurrate. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
