As it turns out, White Sox rookie Gordon Beckham didn't leave Saturday's game in the bottom of the first inning with a stiff back.
“My right front side,” Beckham said after the White Sox beat the Red Sox 5-1.
Beckham felt discomfort on his last swing during batting practice.
“I felt a little twinge in my right side,” he said. “I didn't think much of it and kind of came in and walked around. I kind of got a little more stiff, a little more stiff. I talked to (trainer) Hermie (Schneider) and went out.
“I hit. It felt fine. I threw. It felt fine. And ran, I could feel it when I
ran, I could feel it a little bit. I came back in and told him it hurts when
I run. I guess Hermie kind of gave me the decision if I wanted to go or not.
“I said I wanted to go and when I went out on the field, I just kind of felt
it even more. It's like it stiffened up a little more. I don't think it's
too big of a deal just because we caught it quick. So hopefully, it will be a
quick turnaround.”
Manager Ozzie Guillen said Beckham will not be in the lineup against Boston Sunday afternoon.
