White Sox second baseman Gordon Beckham is not starting a game for the first time since returning on June 3 from a hamate bone fracture, the Chicago Tribune reports. Beckham is sitting to begin Saturday's game against the Royals.
The White Sox have off days coming up Monday and Thursday and any soreness Beckham is feeling should be able to subside by then.
Beckham has gone 11 for 38 (.289) over his last 10 games with three doubles, an RBI and five runs scored.
