CHICAGO -- With a hefty injured list already, the Chicago White Sox are taking steps to make sure it doesn't grow much more.
Manager Tony La Russa on Saturday told reporters that several White Sox veterans "are playing under trainer instructions that if they make a routine out, they slow it down" running toward first base.
La Russa, whose team has 10 players on the injured list, said the pool of players under those instructions included shortstop Tim Anderson, who returned from a groin injury this week, along with first baseman Jose Abreu, outfielder Luis Robert, designated hitter Andrew Vaughn and outfielder AJ Pollock.
