White Sox demote veteran starter John Danks
The Chicago White Sox designated pitcher John Danks for assignment.
Danks allowed six earned runs over five innings against the Baltimore Orioles last Thursday, watching his season ERA rise to 7.25. He's in the final year of five-year, $65 million deal and will likely pass through waivers unclaimed because of the sum he's still owed. Erik Johnson will take over the vacant spot in Chicago's starting rotation.
Danks' 5.72 xFIP is fifth worst among starting pitchers with at least 20 innings pitched this season, and his 11.0 walk percentage ranks 24th worst.
