Bullpen Update

Cliff Politte has been placed on the DL with shoulder soreness. White Sox fans have long wondered if there has been something wrong with him physically, and apparently there is. Sean Tracey was called up in his stead. Tracey had a 5-3 record with a 3.18 ERA in AAA, spending time as a starter and reliever.

Jeff Nelson looks to be done for the year. He is to have surgery on his elbow, and odds are not only will this end his season but his career as well. It was worth a shot to see if had anything left in the tank, but apparently he didn't. Auggie Montero was called up to take his place in the 'pen.
