25-year old righty swinging 2B Gordon Beckham had a rough April. He played in 20 games for the Pale Hose this year in April and he was only 9 for 59 (.153 avg, .434 OPS) with 5 runs scored, 0 homers and 2 RBIs. But, in May & June, Beckham has played in 40 games in which he is 43 for 164 (.262 avg) with 26 runs scored, 8 homers, 25 RBIs and 1 stolen base. He has now played in 60 games for the White Sox this year and he is 52 for 223 (.233 avg, .663 OPS) with 31 runs scored, 8 homers, 27 RBIs and 1 stolen base. The White Sox hope that Beckham keeps swinging the bat well.

The White Sox have released 26-year old righty starter/reliever Terry Doyle. Doyle pitched in 12 games (11 starts) in AAA-ball for the White Sox this year and he was 6-3 with a 2.83 ERA and a 0.93 WHIP. He pitched in 87 games (74 starts) in his five years in the minors for the White Sox and he was 32-26 with a 2.92 ERA and a 1.11 WHIP. The White Sox let him go so that he could pitch for the Fukuoka Hawks of Japan.
