| Player Notes |
| December 14, 2005 The Diamondbacks acquired Orlando Hernandez from the White Sox in the Javy Vazquez deal. Provided he's healthy, Hernandez will be assured a spot in the Arizona rotation. |
| December 2, 2005 White Sox manager Ozzie Guillen said Thursday that he does not plan to use Orlando Hernandez out of the bullpen next season, according to the Chicago Tribune. "[Hernandez] should be a starter," Guillen said. "It's up to him to see how he feels." However, Guillen also said that Brandon McCarthy should be a starter, and there isn't room for both. |
| October 20, 2005 Despite dealing with shoulder pain, Orlando Hernandez should be on Chicago's World Series roster, according to the Daily Southtown. "He was a little uncomfortable, but he feels good now," GM Ken Williams said. "He threw (Tuesday)." |
| October 4, 2005 As expected, manager Ozzie Guillen announced Monday that the White Sox will keep Orlando Hernandez on the postseason roster instead of Brandon McCarthy, according to the Daily Southtown. "We'll stay with 'Duque' because we can't use McCarthy," Guillen said. "He started (Sunday) and we couldn't use him until (Friday or Saturday) or the fifth game if we have one. In the fifth game, I'm going with (Jose) Contreras or (Mark) Buehrle. That's why we put 'El Duque' out of the bullpen." |
| October 2, 2005 Orlando Hernandez pitched the final two innings of the season finale on Sunday and picked up the save. Hernandez is expected to be left off the postseason roster in favor of rookie Brandon McCarthy. |
| October 2, 2005 The White Sox are leaning toward keeping Brandon McCarthy rather than Orlando Hernandez on their postseason roster, according to the Daily Southtown. The reasoning is that the younger McCarthy would be better suited to enter a game in relief, if needed, because he takes less time to warm up. |
| September 24, 2005 As expected, Orlando Hernandez has been replaced in the White Sox rotation by Brandon McCarthy, according to the Daily Southtown. |
| September 19, 2005 Orlando Hernandez likely will be replaced by Brandon McCarthy in the rotation this week, according to the Daily Southtown. Manager Ozzie Guillen expects to make a final decision as soon as today. |
| September 17, 2005 Orlando Hernandez did little Saturday to maintain his spot in the starting rotation. The Twins took him for four runs on eight hits and four walks over just 3 2/3 innings of work. There has been speculation that Brandon McCarthy might replace El Duque, something manager Ozzie Guillen said he would consider after the weekend series. |
| September 14, 2005 Manager Ozzie Guillen plans to stick with Orlando Hernandez in the starting rotation for the time being, according to the Daily Southtown. There has been speculation that Guillen would replace Hernandez in the rotation with Brandon McCarthy. "I'm not going to let my guys down," Guillen said. "The guy's getting paid the money to do what he does. The guy has brought me all the way here to this point. I have a lot of confidence in 'El Duque'; he had one bad outing." El Duque is 1-2 with an 8.78 ERA over his last three starts. |
| September 11, 2005 Orlando Hernandez gave up three home runs in just two innings before being pulled on Sunday. The White Sox inserted Brandon McCarthy, who allowed just two runs over the next 5 2/3 innings. Manager Ozzie Guillen suggested before the game that Hernandez would be on a short leash given McCarthy's presence in the bullpen. |
| July 18, 2005 Orlando Hernandez gave up four runs on six hits in six innings of work Monday night in his first start since June 14. Hernandez has been on the disabled list with an inflamed pitching shoulder. "Duque was great," manager Ozzie Guillen said. "Wow. He threw better than we thought. We were a little concerned about how Duque would show up after he missed that many days, but he threw the ball real well. His velocity was pretty good. He left a couple pitches up, but I expected that." |
| July 18, 2005 The White Sox activated Orlando Hernandez from the disabled list to start Monday's game against Detroit, according to the AP. Hernandez is 7-2 with a 4.88 ERA this season and has been out since June 15 with tightness in his shoulder. |
| July 18, 2005 As expected, Orlando Hernandez will come off the disabled list to start Monday, according to the Daily Southtown. "We hope he can give us five or six innings or more longer," manager Ozzie Guillen said. "Right now, he's going to tell me how long he can go and we can take it from there." |

| July 14, 2005 Orlando Hernandez had his Wednesday bullpen session rained out, but he is tentatively scheduled to come off the disabled list to start Monday, according to the Chicago Tribune. He's been out with a tight shoulder. |

| July 5, 2005 Orlando Hernandez said his right shoulder "felt good" after throwing about 30 pitches Monday in a pregame bullpen session, according to the Chicago Tribune. "Everything went good," pitching coach Don Cooper said. "He threw his fastball and changeup. He threw free and easy. The flight of the ball was good." Hernandez will throw one more bullpen session before going out for a minor league rehab assignment. |
| July 4, 2005 The White Sox tentatively have Orlando Hernandez scheduled to return from his tight shoulder to start on July 18 against the Tigers, according to the Chicago Tribune. |

| June 29, 2005 White Sox officials are expected to discuss a recovery schedule for Orlando Hernandez this weekend, according to the Chicago Tribune. He's recovering from a tight shoulder. |
| June 22, 2005 It doesn't appear likely that Orlando Hernandez will come off the disabled list when eligible June 30, because the White Sox probably will have him go on a rehab assignment first, according to the Daily Southtown. He's recovering from a tight shoulder. |
| June 21, 2005 White Sox manager Ozzie Guillen indicated that he may switch Orlando Hernandez and Jon Garland in the rotation once Hernandez returns from the disabled list. By putting Hernandez in the fifth spot, the team would be able to skip him more frequently, which might provide the rest needed to keep him healthy for late in the season. GM Kenny Williams indicated over the weekend that rookie Brandon McCarthy would be given a shot to take Hernandez's spot in the rotation, but McCarthy will need to pitch a lot better than he has in his first three big league starts for that to happen. |
| June 20, 2005 As expected, the White Sox placed Orlando Hernandez on the 15-day disabled list due to some tightness in his shoulder, according to the AP. The move is retroactive to June 15. Brandon McCarthy was recalled from Triple-A Charlotte to replace El Duque in the rotation. |

| June 3, 2005 As expected, the White Sox activated Orlando Hernandez from the disabled list on Friday, according to the AP. Hernandez had been out with a sore muscle in the back of his shoulder. He will start tonight against Cleveland. |
| May 28, 2005 Orlando Hernandez was originally scheduled to come off the disabled list to start on Wednesday, but he'll probably be pushed back to Friday because Saturday's rainout pushed everyone back a day. |
| May 27, 2005 Orlando Hernandez should come off the disabled list in time to start Wednesday against the Angels, according to the Daily Southtown. He's been out with a sore muscle in the back of his shoulder. |
| May 26, 2005 Orlando Hernandez reported that his right shoulder felt better after a second day of throwing, according to the Chicago Tribune.
