July 17, 200322 yr SN Report: Wunsch On Schedule to Return Soon By Mario Scalise July 17, 2003 SoxNet.net (SN Report #571) - In what has felt to have been a long time, White Sox lefty reliever Kelly Wunsch, placed on the 15-day disabled list with back problems in mid-June, is finally set to return to the pitching mound. Wunsch, 31, plans to pitch this week with the triple-A Charlotte Knights and could be up with the Sox by next week. The back injury was sustained while covering first on a June 11 game against the San Francisco Giants. In 22 games and 15 2/3 innings, Wunsch has a 1.15 ERA, nine walks and 12 strikeouts. Opponents are batting .102 off him.

July 18, 200322 yr Author I think having Wunsch back at the form he was most of this season would be huge. I still like Dave Sanders future in the pen. Opponents don't hit well off him and I think he'll be a sucessful reliever.
