Sox call up Veal, send Danks to minors

TORONTO (MCT) — With the demotion of outfielder Jordan Danks and the recall of lefty reliever Donnie Veal, the White Sox have 13 pitchers on their 25-man roster.

How long can they go on like that?

"We'll find out," manager Robin Ventura said Monday. "You can do it for a little while. In the state we're in, using (Jesse) Crain, (Brett) Myers and (Matt) Thornton a lot, you need some insulation with an extra guy to give them a break. You want to keep guys healthy in September and this is a way to do it."
