Jose Abreu return to White Sox doubtful this season
Jose Abreu could miss the rest of the season as he battles to recover from an infection in his right thigh.
Manager Rick Renteria confirmed Saturday that Abreu has not healed enough to be cleared to play. It’s possible he could get back, Renteria said, but with only four home games left it may be more likely he will be shut down for the season.
“He continues to heal, (is) still sore, still being treated,’’ Renteria said Saturday. “He has a pretty significant healing process he has going on with that thigh right now. He’s here and you’ll see him around. We’re trying to keep him limited to what he’s doing and let that thing heal. But we’ll see how it goes the next few days.’’
