NEW YORK --- John Danks has left the White Sox early for further evaluation and an additional procedure, the club confirmed Sunday.
Danks, who was placed on the disabled list on June 12 with a left shoulder strain, had a diagnostic ultrasound performed Sunday. No MRI was required, however, and the team believes Danks will resume his rehab when the White Sox returns to U.S. Cellular on Tuesday.
Danks is 3-4 with a 5.70 ERA in nine starts this season. The White Sox havent been able to pinpoint when he might return to action. With the uncertainty that surrounds Danks, White Sox manager Robin Ventura said hes thankful for what Jose Quintana has been able to accomplish.
I think were fortunate to be able to think that way with what Q has done, Ventura said. We want to get (Danks) healthy first and it keeps lingering and lingering and you cant look at him as were counting on him on this date. Every time weve done that, its been pushed back. Just get him healthy and Q just stays in that spot.
