CHICAGO -- White Sox slugger Paul Konerko remains sidelined because of pain in the lower right side of his back. Konerko had six painkilling injections on Friday, a day after an MRI, and was not available for the doubleheader against Cleveland. He said he was feeling "a little better" and hoped to be ready to play by the end of the weekend. He planned to take swings Saturday and figured hell know then whether he needs to go on the disabled list. "If I do get to swing a bat tomorrow or test it out, I think at that point I would know," he said. "If I couldnt do it, I dont want to hold them up. I dont want to be holding the team hostage with one less guy. Well see. I havent tested it really at all. Ill be honest with them and let them know. If thats what needs to be done, thats what needs to be done." Konerko played against Kansas City last Sunday and could barely stand the following morning. He felt "a little improvement" on Thursday and more on Friday but was not ready to play. He said the MRI showed "some degeneration in one of the disks" but nothing unusual for an athlete. "Usually, when you do something, you kind of stop in your tracks and know that youre going to have a problem on your hands -- when you take a swing or you check your swing or something like that," Konerko said. "Didnt really see this one coming. I guess it was that hot and humid in Kansas City and (I was) that loose, maybe I did something and didnt even feel it." Konerko is batting .253 with seven homers and 30 RBIs. Ethan Ampadu Chelsea Jersey . Brandon Morrow allowed five runs on six hits over three innings. He struck out two, walked one and hit a batter.

This should be celebrated because it will not always be this way. With the amount of money given to players by their clubs these days, it is a wonder that so many of those teams allow the sport to continue to take away many of their assets so they can play for a different team in the middle of their season. Marcos Alonso Jersey . Vancouver Whitecaps and Toronto FC failed to make the postseason while Montreal Impact fell at the first hurdle losing heavily to Houston Dynamo in the Eastern Conference Knockout Round.
