Low & Outside: AL Notes

So that's why he's been so cranky

White Sox manager Ozzie Guillen spent Sunday morning at the hospital passing a kidney stone but was in the dugout with the team for Chicago's game against the Arizona Diamondbacks. Guillen passed a kidney stone in 2004 and immediately knew what was causing him pain as he took a shower early Sunday, a team spokesman said. He went to a Phoenix hospital with the team's trainer and passed the stone quickly, returning to Chase Field about two hours before the game's start.

Chisox lefthander John Danks also visited the hospital, getting a CT scan Saturday night after being hit in the head by a line drive in Chicago's 6-2 win over Arizona. Everything checked out for Danks, who is expected to make his next start.

Damon joins an exclusive club

Tampa Bay Rays designated hitter Johnny Damon hit his 500th career double, an opposite-field blooper in the first inning of Saturday night's game against Florida. Damon is just the 11th player all-time to have 500 doubles, 100 triples, 200 homers, and 2,500 hits.

All of the other players accomplishing the feat - George Brett, Lou Gehrig, Goose Goslin, Rogers Hornsby, Willie Mays, Paul Molitor, Stan Musial, Babe Ruth, Al Simmons, and Robin Yount - are in baseball's Hall of Fame.

Comings and goings

Blue Jays shortstop Yunel Escobar has agreed to a two-year, $10 million contract extension that includes club options for 2014 and 2015. . . . The Boston Red Sox have placed righthander Clay Buchholz on the 15-day disabled list and called up lefthander Andrew Miller from triple-A Pawtucket. Buchholz's strained lower back had been bothering him for a few starts. . . . The Cleveland Indians have changed hitting coaches, replacing Jon Nunnally with Bruce Fields. The Indians recently went through an offensive slump in which they were shut out six times in 18 games from May 27 to June 14. Cleveland went 5-13 during that span, with two of the wins by 1-0 scores.
