News: According to The Sports Xchange notes: RHP Scott Linebrink is still not where manager Ozzie Guillen would like him to be after his first three outings, but Guillen wasn't about to give up on the veteran down the stretch, either. Linebrink missed almost two months with what was called inflammation in the right posterior of his shoulder. He's pitched three innings since coming back from the DL, allowing two earned runs in his latest outing on Sunday. "Obviously he's only got three outing since he's been back," Guillen said. "He threw one good one... (Sunday) he made a good pitch to the guy, it was low and away and the guy hit a home run. (In) the last couple of outings, I like what I see."
