After Nate Jones spoke to reporters Wednesday his manager greeted him with a big pat on the back, a handshake and a “Hello, Nate.”
Sixteen months after he last pitched in the majors and just over a year removed from reconstructive elbow surgery, Jones is back with the White Sox.
Jones was activated off the 60-day disabled list and Daniel Webb has been placed on the 15-day DL with a mid back strain. Even though he had Tommy John surgery on July 29, 2014, the White Sox have no plans to baby Jones — he’s here and he will be used.
