A.L. Central.(BASEBALL)
CHICAGO WHITE SOX
Newly recalled RHP Jeff Nelson, 39, will work in a late-inning relief role; the team is confident his off-speed stuff still is good enough to neutralize righthanded hitters.... OF/IF Rob Mackowiak has been getting more starts in center field, but the club hasn't given up on rookie CF Brian Anderson. Mackowiak, a lefthanded hitter, is spellingAnderson, a righthanded hitter, against tough righthanded pitchers. SEE A DIFFERENT GAME: C A.J. Pferzynski has made slight adjustments to his hitting mechanics, but the main reason for his early success at the plate is a change in approach. Pierzynski set a career high with 18 home runs last year but got too caught up in trying to hit for power, which led to a career-low .257 average. Since the start of spring camp, Pierzynski has focused on getting hits and hitting the ball where it's pitched. The results: a .336 average, sixth best in the A.L., and just two home runs in 149 at-bats.--Scott Merkin
CLEVELAND INDIANS
After a sizzling April (.467), C Victor Martinez cooled down considerably in May (.241). Martinez began chasing more pitches outside the strike zone, and pitchers were able to get ahead of him with changeups.... The decision to put prized starting prospect RHP Fausto Carmona in the bullpen signals a shift to a win-at-all-costs philosophy. The move benefits the team more than Carmona, who must adjust to the majors while filling a role in which he has had little experience. ... Now that he has settled in as a reliever, RHP Jason Davis likely will stick in the majors. His 96-mph fastball will be more effective because he doesn't have to pace himself. SEE A DIFFERENT GAME: RF Casey Blake's torrid and surprising start at the plate is the result of his laying off pitchers' pitches. In the past, be had a tendency to chase everything, but these days he's laying off or fouling off tough pitches and taking advantage of pitchers' mistakes.--Anthony Castrovince
KANSAS CITY ROYALS
LHP Mark Redman (forearm), out with an injury for the second time this season, still hasn't won and has a 6.88 ERA. The team already has shown it's willing to drop a starter, though Redman's contract might be too big to eat. LHP Jimmy Gobble is starting in Redman's place.... There was one bright spot during the team's losing streak: CF David DeJesus (hamstring) started his minor league rehab with Class AAA Omaha. When he returns, he will be counted on to ...
