"White Sox manager Ozzie Guillen plans to give center fielder Alex Rios a break during one of the games of this four-game series at Tropicana Field.

But that rest won't be nearly enough to let Rios' sore left big toe fully heal. Rios revealed Monday that his toe has nagged him for the last five years.

"I don't think it's going to heal," Rios said. "It could be arthritic or turf toe, but (the pain has) been there for a while. I've learned how to play with it."

Rios said a lubricant was injected into his toe during spring training, but "that didn't work."

"It's just painful, but I can play every day with it," Rios said."
