April 6, 201114 yr Daryl Van Schouwen Adam dunn had emercency appendectomy last night Daryl Van Schouwen Dunn will travel home with team and miss up to five days EDIT: Bad news, waiting on details, can someone please fix the title, I failed at spelling. Edited April 6, 201114 yr by justBLAZE
April 6, 201114 yr What will Ozzie do to fill the hole? Quentin to DH and Milledge to the OF? Or Konerko to DH and Teahen to 1B (shudder)?
April 6, 201114 yr Author QUOTE (pittshoganerkoff @ Apr 6, 2011 -> 07:15 AM) Missing 5 days doesn't sound too bad. So, no DL I assume? My feelings exactly, at first I thought DL for sure. Matt Holiday just recently had a similar problem, but he DID NOT end up going on DL, so I guess it could be worse. Get back to health Adam, we need you.
April 6, 201114 yr If it was TCQ he would have just pulled his own appendix out and then gotten back into the batters box for the next pitch. Dunn is a wimp.
April 6, 201114 yr I'm thinking TCQ to DH and Milledge to RF. No worries. Get well soon Dunn - the Sox need you.
April 6, 201114 yr QUOTE (Reddy @ Apr 6, 2011 -> 09:22 AM) wtf how weird. well that's no good... TCQ as DH and Milledge in RF? Do that for a couple games (like today where there's a LHP on the mound) and if there's a RHP on the mound, Teahen to 1b and Konerko to DH.
April 6, 201114 yr This is lame. Hopefully he only misses 5 games, but either way he misses the opening series and all the home fan adoration. This always happens when Chicago teams sign new players, I swear... Hossa, Boozer of recent.

April 6, 201114 yr BTW, this totally means Teahen in the line up at DH to be the lefty bat in the 5 spot, if not the 4.

April 6, 201114 yr QUOTE (Chet Kincaid @ Apr 6, 2011 -> 09:29 AM) Why not Teahen to DH and keep Konerko at first? If Adam Dunn is not DHing, and Teahen is forced into the lineup, then give Konerko the extra rest.
April 6, 201114 yr QUOTE (tonyho7476 @ Apr 6, 2011 -> 08:36 AM) Maybe Milledge in Right...CQ at DH? At least vs. lefties, this makes sense.
April 6, 201114 yr Here's a tribune confirmation (also including the at least 5 days number) in case anyone was doubting.
April 6, 201114 yr QUOTE (southsider2k5 @ Apr 6, 2011 -> 07:20 AM) If it was TCQ he would have just pulled his own appendix out and then gotten back into the batters box for the next pitch. Dunn is a wimp. TCQ may have the testicular fortitude to remove his own appendix but he would probably slip on it on the way to first, jack up his foot again, and miss the rest of the season. I think he is made of paper-mâché.
April 6, 201114 yr @Buster_ESPN From the White Sox, some better news on Dunn: He will be out up to five days; he had a laparoscopic procedure, and will travel with the team
April 6, 201114 yr QUOTE (Balta1701 @ Apr 6, 2011 -> 08:32 AM) If Adam Dunn is not DHing, and Teahen is forced into the lineup, then give Konerko the extra rest. This early in the season? I could see towards the middle of the season, but not this early. Konerko probably wants to get in a rhythm and start the year off right. I think it's way too early to be talking about rest.
