CHICAGO -- After fighting off numerous injuries that included oblique and shoulder woes last season, reliever Jesse Crain appears to be at the top of his game again.

CHICAGO -- The news of Chris Sale having to miss a start did not shake up the Chicago White Sox, who have made a habit of competing shorthanded all season long.

CHICAGO -- The Chicago White Sox made it two consecutive wins over the Boston Red Sox with a 3-1 victory Tuesday in the middle game of a three-game series. How it happened: Jose Quintana took a no-hitter into the seventh inning before the bullpen took it the rest of the way.
CHICAGO -- The Chicago White Sox have had numerous great closers in their proud history and Addison Reed is doing his best to make his mark on the position. Reed has saved 15 of 16 opportunities in 2013 and has come through on 90 percent of his career save chances.
