Jeff Keppinger (shoulder) will start at third base on Tuesday. Keppinger served as the DH on Sunday in his first game since March 9. The veteran infielder has been dealing with shoulder soreness this spring and also recently had to leave camp due to a personal matter, but he should be ready for Opening Day.

Jeff Keppinger (shoulder) is back in the White Sox' lineup Sunday. Keppinger was away for a few days while tending to a personal matter. He's also still nursing some shoulder soreness and is in the DH spot Sunday, but he maintains that it's not a long-term concern. "I don't have an issue with my shoulder where it's going to be a problem all season long,'' Keppinger said. "There's a little irritation and inflammation in there from just picking up the use really fast where in the offseason I didn't much time to build it up. I'm pretty sure it's taken care of and we'll move forward from here.''

White Sox manager Robin Ventura said Wednesday that Jeff Keppinger (shoulder) is in no danger of missing Opening Day. Keppinger has dealt with shoulder issues off and on during camp, but the White Sox don't seem to be overly concerned. The veteran infielder is expected to return to action this weekend and could see some time at second base. He'll be the Sox' regular at the hot corner this season.

Jeff Keppinger (shoulder) isn't ready to play the field yet. Keppinger has received some at-bats in the DH spot, but his sore right shoulder has kept him away from the field longer than expected. However, it shouldn't be viewed as a long-term problem at this point.

Jeff Keppinger will miss the White Sox' first Cactus League game Friday and be used as the designated hitter in the next two games due to a sore shoulder. It's not considered to be a big deal. Keppinger is also recovered from his broken right fibula and should be ready to roll again soon.

Jeff Keppinger will have the walking boot from his right foot removed Tuesday. Keppinger is recovering from a broken right fibula that he suffered when he fell down a flight of stairs at his house last month, but doctors have told him that he should be ready for the start of spring training. While the 32-year-old is unlikely to repeat his .325/.367/.439 batting line from 2012 next season, he'll benefit from playing his home games at U.S. Cellular rather than The Trop.
