Maddon said he has no plans to skip Niemann in his rotation. Before missing three weeks with a shoulder strain, Niemann was 10-3 with a 3.12 ERA and just 44 walks in 141 1/3 innings. Since returning, he has walked eight in 10 1/3 innings, giving up 19 hits, four of those homers (two Monday). Niemann said he is fine physically, and Maddon said based on the radar readings and Niemann's delivery, he has no reason to doubt that. Permalink | Email this | Linking Blogs | Comments MLB Baseball News - Sport Snipe - Team News - Stats - Updates http://www.sportsnipe.com/main_sportsnews/2905051/white-sox-top-tigers-to-win-seventh-in-row.html The White Sox rallied to beat the Tigers in the 10th, remaining three and a half games behind the Twins in the A.L.
