DENVER -- White Sox reliever Nate Jones will be re-evaluated over the All-Star break after feeling uncomfortable while throwing off of flat ground on Friday at Coors Field.
The right-hander, on the disabled list with right elbow neuritis, has not pitched since April 28.
"We'll see what the evaluation is, and we'll determine at that point what the protocol will be for him," White Sox manager Rick Renteria said. "He must be frustrated.
"He's gone through the process of feeling really good, starting to throw again, feeling irritation. We shut him down, he continues to do whatever they do to help him feel comfortable. Feel really good, go back out and throw and feel a little irritation."
Jones was placed on the disabled list retroactive to May 1 but had started to throw bullpen sessions before being shut down in mid-June due to similar irritation. He was given the all-clear to throw at the start of the last homestand on June 23, although the White Sox were taking it slowly to make sure he was at 100 percent when he resumed bullpen sessions.
"It's frustrating for everybody," Renteria said. "We're just trying to find out what it is that's going on, and with that next visit he's going to make, they'll give it a look, see what's happening, make a determination, and we'll see how we proceed."
Garcia ready for Miami

"I know I'm going to be a little bit busy, but we have to enjoy that moment. You never know if you are going to make it again. Hopefully I make it 14 more times."
