A day after throwing 20 pitches off a mound, White Sox left-hander John Danks said Wednesday he felt “a little bit sore and tired but I told (trainer Herm Schneider) and he said ‘that’s good.'”

So Danks was upbeat, although he admitted, “I kind of expected to be better.”

“The last couple of days I feel improvement and that’s definitely something I’ve needed,” he said. “And hopefully we can backtrack from there.”
