Heading into the 2014 season, Chicago White Sox reliever Nate Jones was supposed to be the team’s closer. However, he suffered an injured before Cactus League action started.
Then, after returning for spring training games, started the season on the White Sox active roster as the primary set-up man to the newly acquired Matt Lindstrom. He lasted two outings, and recorded zero outs while allowing four earned runs, walking three, and failing to record a strikeout. He was placed on the 15-day disabled list after the injury from February flared back up in April.
