White Sox's Miguel Gonzalez: To work on curve during rehab
Miguel Gonzalez (shoulder) expects to make three or four starts while on rehabilitation assignment with a priority to fine-tune his curveball, Tom Musick of the Chicago Sun-Times reports.Gonzalez, who hasn't pitched in a game environment since April 17, will throw about 45 pitches during his first rehab start Sunday for Triple-A Charlotte. He made particular note of his curveball, for which he says he's developed a feel. "I'm definitely going to be throwing it down there more than any of my other pitches just because that's a big difference from my curveball to my fastball," Gonzalez. "That's, like, a 20 mph difference, and that's where you want to be. That's a key pitch for me.'' It's hard to see Gonzalez being anything more than a temporary member of the Chicago White Sox's rotation, and despite his horrific 12.41 ERA to start the season, Chicago may try shipping him to a playoff contender in need of depth.

White Sox's Miguel Gonzalez: Throws bullpen session Sunday
Miguel Gonzalez (shoulder) completed a bullpen session Sunday, Scott Merkin of MLB.com reports.It was the second time Gonzalez had thrown off a mound since landing on the disabled list in late April with right rotator cuff inflammation. Gonzalez indicated that he felt good during the session, so he could be cleared to face hitters in live batting practice during the upcoming days. A minor-league rehab assignment would then follow, but it seems unlikely that Gonzalez would be ready to return from the DL before late June at the earliest.

Miguel Gonzalez (shoulder) played catch Wednesday and Thursday, Daryl Van Schouwen of the Chicago Sun-Times reports.Gonzalez is slowly working his way back from inflammation in his right shoulder and hopes to begin throwing next week after he was shut down from such activity for 10-14 days. "I think I can pitch after this long rest,'' he said. "I want to be out there [at the end of June] and help out.'' By then, the Chicago White Sox should get Carlos Rodon (shoulder) back in the rotation and there may not be a spot available for Gonzalez.
