White Sox put Miguel Gonzalez on DL, activate James Shields

TORONTO - The White Sox put right-hander Miguel Gonzalez on the 10-day disabled list Sunday and reinstated James Shields.

Shields, who made three starts before going on the DL in April with a strained right lat, pitched 5⅔ innings and allowed 3 runs in the Sox's 7-3 loss to the Blue Jays.

Gonzalez, 33, has inflammation in the AC joint in his right shoulder. His DL stint is retroactive to June 15.

Manager Rick Renteria said he didn't expect Gonzalez, who took a cortisone shot and said he played light catch Sunday morning with no pain, to be on the DL for long.

"It's more a precautionary tale for us," Renteria said. "We anticipate it's going to be a short-lived situation."
