CHICAGO (AP) -White Sox third baseman Joe Crede is still at least five days away from resuming baseball activities because of a sore back.
Crede, who was returned from a rehab assignment at Triple-A Charlotte where he appeared in only one game before the back flared up, has been on the 15-day disabled list since July 25. He had back surgery last year and missed most of the season.
“We sent him back for an MRI, CAT scan and he’s all clean and good as far as that’s concerned,” general manager Ken Williams said Tuesday. “Just a little bit of pressing on the nerve right now. We’ve got to alleviate that before we can get him back out into rehab. On one hand there’s a delay in the process, but the prognosis is good and we’ll go from there.”
Crede is batting .255 with 17 homers and 54 RBIs but has made a career-high 19 errors this season in 90 games.
The White Sox also recalled right-hander Adam Russell from Triple-A Charlotte on Tuesday. Russell is 3-0 with a 5.59 ERA in two previous stints with the White Sox. Chicago had optioned lefty Clayton Richard to Charlotte on Monday.
