CHICAGO – The White Sox, coming off one of their most complete games of the season in Friday's 9-3 rout, send right-hander Jake Peavy to the mound today as they look for their four straight win.

Peavy (5-1, 2.39 ERA) gets the benefit of facing an Indians lineup that is without Asdrubal Cabrera (hamstring), Travis Hafner (knee) and Carlos Santana (concussion). In his start May 9 at Cleveland, Peavy allowed one run in seven innings and picked up the win.

Right-hander Derek Lowe (6-2, 2.15) starts for the Indians.

The Sox have hit a home run in 11 consecutive games. The last time they hit one in 12 straight games was Sept. 18-30, 2008. First baseman Paul Konerko carries an 11-game hitting streak into today's game.

CHICAGO – The White Sox officially placed left-hander John Danks of the 15-day disabled list before Friday's series opener against the Indians.

With Danks (left shoulder strain) missing his start, the Sox recalled left-hander Jose Quintana from Triple-A Charlotte. Quintana makes the first major league start night versus the Indians. The 23-year-old made his big league debut May 7 at Cleveland, pitching 5 2/3 innings of one-hit ball in relief.

Right-hander Jeanmar Gomez (3-2, 3.19 ERA) starts for the first-place Indians.

The Sox are 22-12 in their last 34 games against Cleveland. Paul Konerko brings a 10-game hitting streak into tonight's game. During the streak he's hitting .559 with four homers and nine RBIs.

White Sox starting pitcher John Danks hoped to generate momentum from his recent win in a scoreless outing against the Chicago Cubs.

Instead, Danks is headed to the 15-day disabled list because of a sore shoulder.

“I was hoping that would be the kind of start to jump-start my season,” Danks said Thursday at U.S. Cellular Field. “Now, here we are. It seems like if it’s not one thing, it’s something else at this point. [I’m] just trying to stay positive.”

The Sox will fill Danks’ spot in the rotation on Friday with 23-year-old lefthander Jose Quintana, who was 1-3 with a 2.77 ERA in nine starts for Double-A Birmingham. In his first stint with the Sox, Quintana pitched 5 2/3 scoreless innings of relief May 7 against Cleveland.

Sox manager Robin Ventura said he expected Danks to miss only two starts.

“Nothing serious,” Ventura said. “We’re just getting out in front of it.”

Danks, 27, said did not feel any discomfort Saturday against the Cubs despite leaving the game after 83 pitches. By Sunday, he felt something wrong in the back of his shoulder.

“I went the next day and tried to play catch, and I felt a little more sore than I’m used to and [I was] sore in a place I’m not used to being sore,” Danks said. “That was the only reason I said anything, and it turns out it’s a good thing I did.”

Danks, who is 3-4 with a 5.70 ERA in nine starts, showed a wry sense humor when asked whether he battled shoulder soreness earlier in the season.

“It isn’t the reason I’ve stunk to this point, if that’s what you are asking,” Danks said.

CHICAGO – The White Sox haven't fared well against their division rival Minnesota Twins.

Last night's 9-2 loss dropped the Sox to 89-116 versus the Twins since 2001 and they've lost 11 of their last 14 home games against Minnesota. Left-hander Chris Sale has a chance to change that in his eighth start of the season. Sale (4-2, 2.91 ERA) has allowed three runs in less in all of his starts this year.

Left-hander Scott Diamond (3-0, 1.40) takes the mound for Minnesota.

Paul Konerko carries an eight-game hitting streak into the showdown versus the Twins, batting .538 with two homers and six RBis during the stretch.

Orlando Hudson makes his first big league start at third base for the Sox and is batting ninth.

The Sox are honoring members of the Chicago Police Department for their work during the NATO Summit at tonight's game.

CHICAGO – The White Sox put third baseman Brent Morel on the 15-day disabled list (retroactive to May 18) with a strained lower back.

Morel's back has bothered him on and off since spring training. The Sox also officially signed infielder Orlando Hudson before Tuesday's game against the Twins. Hudson's contract is a one-year deal including the remainder of the 2012 season.

Hudson, 34, hit .211 with one home run and 11 RBIs in 35 games with San Diego this year.

Paul Konerko returns the Sox's lineup tonight batting fourth. He missed two games after getting hit in the face during Friday's game at Wrigley Field. Eduardo Escobar gets the start at third in place of the injured Morel.

Gavin Floyd (3-4, 3.44 ERA) starts for the Sox trying to snap an 0-7 record with a 7.65 ERA against the Twins dating
