July 2, 2003 The White Sox apparently plan to use both Aaron Rowand and Willie Harris in center field, even with the addition of Carl Everett, who will apparently be used as the DH. |
|
July 1, 2003 If the White Sox pull the trigger on the Carl Everett trade that has been reported, Aaron Rowand will either go to the bench or back to the minors. |
|
June 10, 2003 As expected, the White Sox recalled Aaron Rowand from Triple-A Charlotte on Tuesday. He was hitting just .242 (.316 OBP) with three homers in 120 at-bats before his promotion. He hit just .133 in 60 at-bats for the Sox earlier in the year. |
|
June 10, 2003 The White Sox are going to recall Aaron Rowand from Triple-A Charlotte, according to the Chicago Sun Times. |
|
May 1, 2003 The White Sox optioned Aaron Rowand to Triple-A Charlotte. Rowand was hitting .133 and showing no signs of turning things around. |
|
May 1, 2003 The White Sox wanted to give Aaron Rowand a full month to get his game going after the outfielder spent the offseason recovering from a motorcycle accident, according to the Daily Southtown. But he\'s still hitting only .132 and Willie Harris is hitting .410 in the minors. Rowand may not have much more time to turn things around. |
|
April 25, 2003 Aaron Rowand was benched again on Thursday, even though the Sox had suggested he would be back in the starting lineup. Manager Jerry Manuel said "I hope it's not a permanent thing." Rowand is certainly on thin ice though; Armando Rios has been playing well and Willie Harris has been tearing it up in the minors. |
|
April 16, 2003 Aaron Rowand is expected to return to the starting lineup on Thursday after sitting in favor of Armando Rios the past three games, according to the AP. |
|
April 16, 2003 White Sox manager Jerry Manuel keeps saying that Aaron Rowand is his center fielder, but he has started Armando Rios the last couple of games, according to the Daily Southtown. "If Rios has a (good) month (or) two months, then we're able to put (Rowand) in different positions because he can play all three outfield positions and he can play first base," Manuel said. It looks like Rios will start in center as long as his bat stays hot. |
|
April 14, 2003 Aaron Rowand is hitting only .188 this season, but he's still got a job, according to the Daily Southtown. White Sox manager Jerry Manuel said Rowand is "still my starting center fielder." However, Rowand was out of the lineup Sunday and probably will sit out Tuesday as well. |
|
March 27, 2003 Aaron Rowand was 2-for-3 on Thursday and is now hitting .291 (14-for-48) this spring. Rowand is coming off an offseason in which he sustained numerous injuries in a motorcycle accident, but he\'s done enough to lock down the center field job for the White Sox. |
|
March 15, 2003 Aaron Rowand made his first spring start in center field yesterday and showed no effects from his offseason injuries, according to the Daily Southtown. Rowand appears ready to head into the season fully healthy and should secure the starting center field job from upstart Joe Borchard. |
|
March 7, 2003 White Sox trainer Herm Schneider said Aaron Rowand will be able to return to action on Monday or Tuesday, according to the Daily Southtown. He needed stitches to repair a gash on his right hand after being hit by a pitch on Tuesday. Rowand will remain limited to DH duties until March 14 due to injuries sustained in his motorcycle accident during the offseason. |
|
March 6, 2003 The White Sox expect to have Aaron Rowand back in action as a DH as soon as this weekend, according to the Daily Southtown. He needed eight stitches to close a gash on his right middle finger when he was hit by a pitch on Tuesday. |
|
March 5, 2003 In his first game of the spring on Tuesday, Aaron Rowand took a pitch off the back of his right middle finger, according to the Chicago Sun-Times. Although no broken bones are suspected, Rowand required stitches to close a one-inch gash, and he may not swing a bat again before the end of the week. Rowand, who is coming back from injuries sustained in an offseason motorcycle accident, is not expected to play the outfield until March 14. |
|
March 2, 2003 The White Sox plan to take things slowly with Aaron Rowand this spring, as he returns from injuries sustained in a motorcycle accident, according to the Daily Southtown. Manager Jerry Manuel said Rowand will DH in Cactus League and Triple-A games until taking the field in mid-March. |
|
February 21, 2003 Aaron Rowand said he is almost 100 percent recovered from injuries sustained in a dirt bike accident last fall, according to the Daily Southtown. Rowand broke his left scapula, two ribs and nearly punctured an artery that likely would have caused him to bleed to death in minutes, when he tumbled off a 25-foot embankment. |
|
February 12, 2003 Aaron Rowand apparently suffered injuries in an off-road motorcycle mishap during the offseason, according to the Chicago Sun-Times. Rowand will not begin hitting off a tee until later this month but is expected to be ready for the start of the regular season. |
