Dewayne Wise is back with the White Sox.
With Paul Konerko on the seven-day disabled list, the White Sox purchased Wise's contract from Triple-A prior to Saturday's game. To make room for him on the 40-man roster, John Danks was transferred to the 60-day disabled list.
Wise began the season with the Yankees, but was designated for assignment in late July and signed a minor-league deal with the White Sox on Aug. 3. The 34-year-old had a .778 OPS in 63 trips to the plate with New York.
There was speculation the White Sox would promote first basemanDH Dan Johnson to take Konerko's place on the roster, as the six-year major-league veteran belted his 26th home run of the season for Triple-A Charlotte Friday night. But with Wise on the team, the White Sox will likely employ a rotating group of players to DH, with A.J. Pierzynski getting that nod Saturday night.
Wise, who wore No. 31 during his first stint with the White Sox in 2008-2009, will wear No. 28. He earned a place in White Sox lore with his catch to rob Tampa Bay's Gabe Kapler of a home run on July 23, 2009, preserving Mark Buehrle's perfect game.
