CHICAGO (AP) - The Chicago White Sox placed major league steals leader Scott Podsednik on the 15-day disabled list Monday because of a strained muscle in his left leg. The move was retroactive to Saturday.
Podsednik, who has 54 stolen bases, has been bothered by the injury for the past three weeks and has been caught stealing nine times in his last 13 attempts. He has been caught stealing 18 times this season.
"It wasn't real hard to make a decision. It's been nagging on me for quite some time now and it got to the point where I can't continue on," Podsednik said. "I have probably been running 60 to 70 percent so it's matter of getting in there and getting some treatment on it and gaining some strength back."
