CHICAGO – It would be easy for pitcher John Danks to second guess the White Sox treatment plan for his left shoulder strain.

What was expected to be a short stint on the disabled list, missing at most three starts, became a season ending situation. Danks will undergo exploratory surgery today at Rush University Surgery Center in Chicago, and team doctors will fix any issues they find.

“I’m not exactly excited about going in, but I’m ready for it to be fixed and healed and get moving on with just getting back to being healthy,” Danks said. “That’s kind of the key. It’s been so long since I’ve been truly healthy, I’m excited about getting everything fixed and kind of starting clean next year.”
