James Shields activated, Miguel Gonzalez to DL as White Sox gain one starting pitcher and lose another

James Shields is finally back for the White Sox, but as one starting pitcher came off the disabled list, another went on it.

Shields was activated after a lengthy injury recovery ahead of Sunday's game against the Toronto Blue Jays, in which he's scheduled to make his first start since April 16. In a corresponding move, the White Sox sent Miguel Gonzalez to the 10-day DL with A/C joint inflammation in his right shoulder.

Shields has only made three starts this season, all of them quite good. He allowed just three runs — one run in each start — in 16.
