White Sox starter Hector Santiago said Wednesday that he's not concerned about his rotation spot with John Danks nearing a return, ESPN reports. Santiago could lose his starting gig when Danks comes back.
"I don't think I'm trying to beat anybody out. I'm trying to go out there and do my job, trying to pitch well," Santiago said. "Obviously you want to earn a spot, but I don't think I've been thinking about that at all. I've been going out there and giving us a chance to win and pitching well and throw the ball how they want me to throw it. Give us a chance to win is the main thing."
The left-hander, who is expected to start next Monday at Minnesota, took a no-decision his last turn in New York with seven shutout innings pitched with eight Ks. He's 1-0 in his last two starts with one run allowed over 12 1/3 innings with 14 Ks.
