White Sox rookie Gordon Beckham had to leave Saturday’s game in the bottom of the first inning with a sore right side. Beckham said he initially 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.”
Beckham won’t be in the lineup tomorrow. Damn…
