Nine months after undergoing shoulder surgery, John Danks is ready to rejoin the Chicago White Sox's rotation.
The left-hander will pitch Friday against the Miami Marlins at U.S. Cellular Field, which will be his first major league start since having a shoulder operation in August 2012.
Danks didn't break camp with the Sox in the spring and has steadily worked his way back to the big leagues, recently completing his minor league rehab stint after throwing four outings with Chicago's minor league affiliates.
In one start for Double-A Birmingham and two for Triple-A Charlotte, Danks went 2-0 with a 3.18. He displayed a bit of wildness, walking 13 while striking out 15 in 22 2/3 innings.
Danks threw a bullpen session Wednesday, and the decision was made after the White Sox's 6-2 loss to the Boston Red Sox to get him back into the rotation.
"I'm excited," Danks said. "It's

It seemed only a matter of time before linemates James Neal and Jarome Iginla started putting pucks in the back of the net.
That time came Wednesday at Scotiabank Place, where both Pittsburgh Penguins struck twice in a 7-3 victory over the Ottawa Senators.
The win gives the Penguins a commanding 3-1 lead in the best-of-seven set, with Game 5 in Pittsburgh Friday.
Neal and Iginla entered Wednesday with one and two goals, respectively, in the Penguins first seven playoff games.
"It was a big game for our team to bounce back," said Iginla, referring to the Penguins' double-overtime loss in Game 3. "I thought all the guys were ready. As a line we just wanted to put pressure on and get scoring chances.
"We had some good scoring chances early, but as a line and also as a team we just stuck with it. Guys stayed positive, kept doing

Any trip to the NASCAR Hall of Fame puts fans face-to-face with some of the sport's most remarkable artifacts, stories and legends.
Wednesday, five more of those all-timers will live on forever, as NASCAR announced the inductees for the NASCAR Hall of Fame Class of 2014.
The five newest members of the NASCAR Hall of Fame that will be inducted on Jan. 29, 2014, are Tim Flock, Maurice Petty, Dale Jarrett, Jack Ingram and Fireball Roberts.
Flock, who received 76 percent of the vote, was one of NASCAR's earliest superstars, winning the NASCAR premier series championship twice (1952, 1955). In only 187 starts, he had 39 victories, which ranks him 18th on the all-time wins list. He won eight races and posted 22 top-fives in 33 starts while driving a Hudson Hornet to his first title in 1952. In 1955, his second championship season, he

Chuck Norris, who played the ultimate tough guy title character from 1993-2001, wrote in an online column that he sees a version of himself on the football field in the now unemployed quarterback.
Since being released last month by the New York Jets, Tebow has been told he might be suited for a backup role in the Canadian Football League or could fit in arena football. Norris feels Tebow should be in the NFL.
"Tebow is a player who rises to the occasion and delivers big in critical moments," Norris wrote in a column posted this week for the non-profit conservative website Newsbusters. "He reminds me of myself when I used to compete in martial arts.
"I would spar with my black belts in class, and sometimes they would outscore me. Yet in the tournaments, I would defeat them. My students used

Oklahoma City Thunder superstar Kevin Durant surprised fans a few seasons ago when they first discovered that his NBA uniform was concealing quite a few tattoos. Now he is surprising fans again with his latest tattoo, but mostly because there may be a typo in the text.
Durant posted a picture of the new tattoo - which is a massive image of Jesus alongside scripture from the Bible - on Instagram. The quote is from James 1:2-4 and reads:
Consider it a sheer gift, friends, when tests and challenges come at you from all sides. You know that under pressure, your faith-life is forced into the open and shows its true colors. So don’t try to get out of anything prematurely. Let it do its work so you become mature and well-developed, not deficient in any way.

BLUE JAYS 4, RAYS 3
TORONTO — Jose Bautista homered twice and drove in the winning run with a 10th-inning single, leading the Toronto Blue Jays to a 4-3 victory over the Tampa Bay Rays on Wednesday.
Bautista went 4 for 4 with a walk and four RBIs. Three other players had one hit, but that was it for Toronto's offense.
Facing Cesar Ramos (1-1), Colby Rasmus reached on an infield single to begin the 10th. Rasmus moved to second on Emilio Bonifacio's sacrifice, then took third on Munenori Kawasaki's grounder. Pinch hitter Mark DeRosa walked and Kyle Farnsworth came on to face Bautista, who singled into shallow right for the Blue Jays' first game-ending hit of the season.
Aaron Loup (2-3) pitched one inning for the win as Toronto took two of three to win a series against Tampa Bay for the first time since August 2010. The Rays
