The White Sox will retire the No. 14 uniform of retired captain Paul Konerko.

Chicago said Thursday it will honor the six-time All-Star before a May 23 game against Minnesota.

Konerko will be the 11th player whose number is retired by the White Sox. That includes Jackie Robinson, whose No. 42 was retired for all of Major League Baseball in 1997.

Konerko spent 16 seasons with the White Sox and hit a grand slam in Game 2 of the 2005 World Series as Chicago swept Houston for its first title since 1917. He is the franchise leader in total bases (4,010), is second in home runs (432) behind Hall of Famer Frank Thomas and third in hits (2,292).

>>Loe, Joyce Suspended 50 Games For Drug Violation

(New York, NY) -- Major League Baseball is suspending pitcher Kameron Loe and outfielder Terrell Joyce 50 games each. The penalties come after a second positive test for a drug of abuse. Loe last pitched in the majors in 2013, splitting time between the Mariners, Cubs and Braves. The 33-year-old pitched at the Triple-A level last year for three different teams. The 22-year-old Joyce played 53 games last season with Tri-City of the New York-Penn League, an affiliate of the Houston Astros. Both suspensions will begin as soon as either player signs with another major league team.

>>San Diego Awarded 2016 All-Star Game

(San Diego, CA) -- Major League Baseball's All-Star Game is coming to San Diego. The Padres have been awarded the 2016 All-Star Game, which will take place at Petco Park. MLB officials say the game will likely bring about 80-million-dollars in economic impact to San Diego. The Padres last hosted baseball's Midsummer Classic in 1992 at Jack Murphy Stadium, which the American League won 13-6. It will be San Diego's third All-Star Game overall.

>>Baseball To Implement Pitch-Clock In Minors

(Undated) -- Major League Baseball may not be ready for a pitch-clock, but it's making its way to the minors. Fox Sports reports pitch-clocks will be implemented this season at the Double-A and Triple-A levels. The MLB "Pace of Game" committee explored ways to speed up games after the league set a record in 2014 with a game-time average of three hours and eight minutes. The average is up 30 minutes since 1984. The pitch-clock was used during the Arizona Fall League, and pitchers had 20 seconds to come set on the rubber. Exceeding the pitch-clock would result in a ball added to a batter's count.

Feliz went 2-and-1 with 13 saves and a 1.99 ERA in 30 games last season after coming back from Tommy John surgery. He pitched in only 14 games combined over the previous two years.
