"White Sox manager Ozzie Guillen won't protect Adam Dunn if his strikeout rate increases to the point where he could break Mark Reynolds' major league record of 223 strikeouts in 2009.

"I will sit him down if he's not helping the ballclub, but not because of a mark," Guillen said Sunday. "Not at all, no. (If) we need him to take a break and give somebody a chance, I will do it.

"I'm not a stats person. I don't read papers. I don't. The only thing I read is when (bench coach) Joey Cora says, 'You better read this.' That's the only time I touch the papers. I don't sit down with stats and with this guy does this or that. I get help from my coaches."

Dunn struck out for the 122nd time Sunday and is on a pace for 208 this season."
