James Shields returns as Miguel Gonzalez hits the DL with shoulder inflammation

It was an interesting morning for David Holmberg.

Perhaps the fate of the 25-year-old left-hander isn't the first thing that came to mind when the White Sox finally activated James Shields from the disabled list Sunday morning. Shields is returning from over two months off due to a right lat, and to make room for him, the Sox will not be optioning struggling reliever Gregory Infante, or Holmberg, who Don Cooper admitted was more of a reliever filling in temporarily in the rotation, but placing Miguel Gonzalez on the disabled list with A/C joint inflammation in his throwing shoulder.
