The right-hander is expected to throw another bullpen session when the club returns to Chicago on Aug. 23. Interim manager Grady Sizemore said if that goes well, the club could be ready to send him to Triple-A Charlotte for a rehab assignment. Soroka was diagnosed with a subscapular strain, which he first felt pitching in Pittsburgh on July 14. He left after one-third of an inning. Soroka is 0-10 on the season, but he has a 3.45 ERA over 13 relief appearances, striking out 47 in 28 2/3 innings. Soroka threw 15 pitches in a bullpen session on Aug. 13, all fastballs, and threw another since.
While the White Sox have publicly said they plan to look outside the organization for a manager after the season - with the Marlins' Skip Schumaker the leading candidate - they privately say that interim manager Grady Sizemore will be given consideration depending on how the White Sox fare the final six weeks.
