May 24, 201213 yr QUOTE (fathom @ May 24, 2012 -> 04:47 PM) Absolutely, based on his velocity this season. Hopefully they did an MRI and know he's ok structurally. He been more in Buehrle's range this year than his own.
May 24, 201213 yr Yeah, bulls*** it just "cropped up" during the Cubs game. More like all season for the most part.
May 24, 201213 yr CSN says he had MRI today. No rotator cuff, no labrum. Danks clarifies that he felt a pain that was new and unfamiliar after the Cubs start.
May 24, 201213 yr Quintana has been a great pickup and KW/Hahn deserve a ton of credit for the move. He's definitely been one of the better starters in the Southern League and obviously looked good in his apperance up here. I still don't get why the Yankees let him go but I'm happy they did. Honestly, we actually have some decent SP depth this year. Between Quintana and Alexrod we should two solid options for spot starts and double-headers.
May 25, 201213 yr Well, I agree that Quintana looked good in his one outing so far, and I guess for that fixed low cost, he's already been a success no matter what he does the rest of his big league career...but let's not forget, he has less experience above High A coming into this season than Nestor Molina. And Molina was the centerpiece of the biggest trade of our offseason, whereas SoxTalk barely even noticed the Quintana acquisition. I guess those are the type of maneuvers that usually have ended up as KW's best, the completely under the radar ones.
May 25, 201213 yr Sounds like this is more precautionary, Danks said he'll be ready June 4 when he is eligible
May 25, 201213 yr Link: http://www.chicagotribune.com/sports/baseb...0,4469979.story Article: Chicago White Sox left-hander John Danks will be placed on the 15-day disabled list, retroactive to Sunday, because of soreness behind his left pitching shoulder. Left-hander Jose Quintana will take Danks' spot in the rotation and will start Friday night against American League Central leader Cleveland. Neither manager Robin Ventura nor Danks believe the injury is serious, and Danks said he thinks he can rejoin the rotation after June 4. Danks said he felt discomfort after his start Saturday against the Cubs, when he threw only 83 pitches in 6 1/3 shutout innings. But he insisted he felt fine until one day after the start, when he had difficulty playing catch. "It’s not my job to question Robin and Coop (pitching coach Don Cooper)," Danks said. "They obviously saw something and there was something to it, I guess." Danks insisted the injury has nothing to do with his 3-4 with a 5.70 ERA. He said he was ready to make his start Friday but decided it was in the best interest to treat his shoulder after talking to general manager Ken Williams and the Sox's training staff. He also underwent an MRI Thursday morning. "It’s in the back of the shoulder," Danks said. "I went and had a MRI this morning. I was feeling different than I normally would. I don’t know. I’m no doctor but I told them I was prepared to pitch tomorrow. I still feel like I probably could, but in talking to Kenny and Robin and (trainer) Herm Schneider, it’s better to be safe than sorry." Quintana threw 5 2/3 innings of one-hit ball in relief in his only major league appearance at Cleveland on May 7.
May 25, 201213 yr Here's how labrum tears often work... unalarming loss of velocity tiredness/lack of recovery in the arm rest fruitless return more tests reveal torn labrum /career FWIW, back of shoulder pain = not good sign in this case either. Hopefully this is just a blip and we forget about it.
May 25, 201213 yr This is being discussed under the Quintana called up thread. LINK. Mods, can you merge if necessary? Sorry didn't put 2 and 2 together.

Hopefully this is just a blip and we forget about it. Usually, the back of the shoulder pain is a less serious problem. Labral problems typically show up at the top or front of the shoulder. rotator cuff problems usually show up further down the arm. No shoulder problems are good but these complaints are usually muscular not cartilage or tendon issues.
May 25, 201213 yr The last thing we need is for Danks to get hurt for an extended period of time AFTER he signed a contract extension with us.

The back of shoulder was where I felt pain when I tore my labrum, but I really wasn't sure if that was common or not.

The back of shoulder was where I felt pain when I tore my labrum, but I really wasn't sure if that was common or not. It can happen but yours is the more uncommon case. You can tear the posterior labrum but the most common area is where the long head of the biceps tendon connects to the labrum. This is about 1 o'clock on a dial if you picture a clock bieng on the shoulder. It's referred to as a SLAP lesion which stands for Superior Labrum Anterior to Posterior.

Thanks for clarification and as you can guess mine was not a SLAP tear. Wasn't sure if the pain manifested itself in a difference place as well. I speak for everyone when I say I really enjoy having you around here
May 27, 201213 yr ESPN Chicago @ESPNChiSox Danks threw soft toss today, Morel took grounders and plans on hitting BP today. Both sounded like they were on-schedule with their rehab.
May 27, 201213 yr Scott Merkin @scottmerkin Danks said the soreness is just limited to the back of his left shoulder, where he once felt it in his arm.

This is an infraspinatus tendonitis. It's the posterior part of the rotator cuff. Hopefully the rest, meds and rehab will sovle it.
May 28, 201213 yr Both sounded like they were on-schedule with their rehab. So it's a case of good news-bad news then.
May 31, 201213 yr http://www.chicagotribune.com/sports/baseb...0,1987379.story Danks' big weekend: John Danks is scheduled to throw bullpen sessions Friday and Sunday to determine if he's ready to be activated from the 15-day disabled list. Danks said his left shoulder felt fine after throwing from distances up to 120 feet Wednesday. "We're making progress," said Danks, who hasn't pitched since May 19. "It's looking all right. It's not 100 percent, but it's a million times better than what it was."
June 5, 201213 yr Mark Gonzales @MDGonzales Quintana to start Wednesday for White Sox. Danks remains on DL, according to Sox's game notes.
