The Chicago White Sox placed right-handed starting pitcher Miguel Gonzalez on the 10-day disabled list Sunday with A/C joint inflammation in his right shoulder.

The move, retroactive to June 15, was announced prior to Sunday’s series finale against the Blue Jays at Rogers Centre in Toronto.

Gonzalez, 33, is 4-8 with a 5.49 ERA over 78 2/3 innings in 13 starts this season, his second with the White Sox.

The White Sox also returned right-hander James Shields from his injury rehabilitation assignment to Triple-A Charlotte and reinstated him from the disabled list so he could start Sunday’s game.

–The Washington Nationals placed right-handed relief pitcher Shawn Kelley on the 10-day disabled list with a right trapezius strain.
The move is retroactive to June 17.

Kelley, 33, is on the disabled list for the second time this season. In 22 appearances over 18 innings, Kelley is 3-2 with four saves, one hold and a 7.00 ERA.

The Nationals also recalled right-hander A.J. Cole from Triple-A Syracuse.

–The Cincinnati Reds reinstated catcher Stuart Turner from the 10-day disabled list and designated right-hander Asher Wojciechowski for assignment.

In addition, the Reds recalled right-hander Lisalverto Bonilla from Triple-A and optioned right-hander Jake Buchanan to Louisville.

Turner, a Rule Five draft pick out of Minnesota’s farm system last December, was on the disabled list since May 20 with a strained right hamstring. He was hitting .143 with three RBIs in 14 games before the injury.

Wojciechowski lasted just 2 1/3 innings on Saturday in the Los Angeles Dodgers’ 10-2 victory over the Reds, giving up six runs (five earned).
