"Paul Konerko's sore right thumb has been well-documented, but the White Sox first baseman revealed Sunday he has endured discomfort in his left wrist for several years.

Konerko said a floating part in his wrist causes pain at least 10 times a year but is unsure whether it would require a medical procedure in the offseason.

"It could just be like the doctor last night said, it could be a flap of tissue that comes up and lays down, and that's the difference between feeling it and not feeling it," said Konerko, who underwent X-rays after being lifted for a pinch-hitter Saturday. "Again, in a year, I probably feel it 10 or 12 times — maybe 15 tops over a year, and that's really not a lot.

"You hope it doesn't happen in a competitive situation, whether it be here or golf."

Konerko received medical attention during an at-bat in the fifth inning Saturday, but manager Ozzie Guillen trusted Konerko enough to start him Sunday."
