Brent Lillibridge has been diagnosed with a broken right hand. Lillibridge suffered the injury Thursday when he was struck by a pitch and is likely to be shut down for the rest of the 2011 season. The 27-year-old utilityman batted .262/.341/.514 with 13 home runs and 29 RBI in 96 games this year for Chicago.

Brent Lillibridge was pulled from Thursday's game after getting hit by a pitch on his right hand. Dayan Viciedo filled in at first base. Lillibridge looked to be in a good deal of pain and may have suffered something more serious than a simple hand contusion.

Brent Lillibridge hit his 13th homer and walked Wednesday in the loss to the Twins. Yet, for some reason, manager Ozzie Guillen chose to have Adam Dunn pinch-hit for him in the ninth. Even though he was in the lineup because of his skill against lefties, Lillibridge also has about 80 points of OPS on Dunn against righties this season. Plus, pinch-hitting makes everyone a worse hitter anyway. It was a bad move that didn't work out, as Dunn struck out with two men on for the first out of the ninth.

Brent Lillibridge went 3-for-5 with a home run, two RBI and two runs scored in Chicago's 10-0 whitewashing of the Rangers on Sunday. Lillibridge's 11th bomb of the season was his fourth of the month, while he's now hitting .323 in August after hitting just .188 in July. He remains an acceptable AL-only league option.

Brent Lillibridge went 2-for-5 with a home run and three RBI in Chicago's 6-2 win over the Royals on Sunday. He took Royals lefty Jeff Francis deep for a three-run bomb in the first.

Brent Lillibridge doubled twice and picked up two RBI as the White Sox downed the Cubs on Wednesday. Although the RBI were just his 14th and 15th of the season, Lillibridge has been excellent in part-time duty for the White Sox, posting a .278/.377/.546 triple slash through his first 115 plate appearances.
