DIVISIONAL OUTLOOK: AL Central—Danks to return to White Sox rotation

Chicago White Sox

John Danks (LHP, CHW) should return to the White Sox rotation this week after four rehab starts. Discounting an injury-marred 2012, Danks had a strong run from 2008 through 2011 as a middle-of-the-rotation starter. During those four years he averaged 31 starts per season with a 7.0 Dom, 2.5 Cmd, and a 3.78 ERA. As Danks returns, either Héctor Santiago (LHP, CHW) or Dylan Axelrod (RHP, CHW) will move to the bullpen; which one remains a tossup.

Gordon Beckham (2B, CHW) has begun his minor league rehab assignment and will probably return to the starting lineup within the next week. Jeff Keppinger (1B/2B/3B/DH, CHW) will move back to 3B and Conor Gillaspie (3B, CHW) will resume his utility role when Beckham returns....
