CHICAGO (AP) - Right-hander Jose Contreras went on the 15-day disabled list Tuesday with a pinched nerve in his right leg, dealing the defending World Series champion Chicago White Sox their first significant setback of the season.
Arguably baseball's best pitcher this season at 5-0 with a major league-low 1.41 ERA, Contreras will miss at least two starts. The White Sox hope to have him back for their three-game series against the crosstown rival Cubs beginning May 19.
Contreras began experiencing pain in his lower back and right leg while throwing lightly on the side with Freddy Garcia on Sunday.
