SPRING TRAINING
Wednesday: Brewers vs. White Sox, 1:05 p.m., Tucson Electric Park
Tuesday: White Sox 5, Rockies 2
Hitting recap: Alexei Ramirez, Carlos Quentin and Juan Uribe all had two hits for Chicago.
Pitching recap: Mark Buehrle made crisp pitches and his command was pinpoint in leading Chicago. He threw six innings, allowing one run on four hits.
Notable: Before the game, the White Sox optioned infielder Josh Fields to Triple-A Charlotte, preferring to go into the season with the experience of Joe Crede at third base.
Chicago general manager Ken Williams said informing Fields of the decision was extremely difficult. Fields was hitting .268 with no homers this spring.
The White Sox announced that OF Jerry Owens would start the season on the disabled list after a small tear was discovered in his right adductor during an MRI on Tuesday.
Quotable: “I don’t know how many times I repeated the fact I felt that (Fields) was a major leaguer,” Williams said. “He deserves to be playing in the major leagues right now.”
