Quentin not expected to return anytime soon
Carlos Quentin hasn't played since May 25 due to plantar fasciitis in his left foot.
Don't even ask the White Sox when the power-hitting left fielder is going to return to the lineup.
"Right now, he's not doing any baseball activities," Guillen said. "I don't see him coming back anytime soon."
Neither does Sox general manager Kenny Williams, who was watching batting practice Tuesday.
"I saw him run out to right field," Williams said of Quentin. "That didn't look so great. I guess when he gets out there and looks good running, he gets to play. I have not asked the question recently because he's not close enough to where I need to start paying attention to our roster and our decisions regarding our roster."
Dye returns: After sitting out Sunday's game at Cincinnati and getting more rest on Monday's break in the schedule, right fielder Jermaine Dye was back in the lineup Tuesday night.
Dye strained his left calf two weeks ago while running the bases in a game against Oakland.
"It's better than it was a couple days ago," said Dye, who was limited to pinch-hitting duties against the Reds on Saturday. "There's still some discomfort there, but it's a lot better. I'd say it's probably 85-90 percent, so that's good enough."
Garcia update: Freddy Garcia signed a minor-league contract with the White Sox on June 8 after being released by the New York Mets.
The right-handed starting pitcher has struggled to come back from 2007 shoulder surgery, so the Sox aren't going to rush him back.
"I think he's in North Carolina," GM Kenny Williams said when asked about Garcia. "He's working out, throwing somewhere. Freddy will let us know when it's time to start paying attention to him by really getting on the mound. That's a slow process here. We've got to build him the right way, the way he was supposed to be built from the beginning."
Signing day: The White Sox agreed to terms with 30 of their selections from the 2009 First-Year player draft on Tuesday. Pitcher David Holmberg (second round) from Port Charlotte (H.S.), Fla., was the highest pick to sign. He'll report to Advanced Rookie Great Falls. The lowest pick to sign was outfielder Harold Baines Jr. (45th round), son of Sox first-base coach Harold Baines.
