Contreras has had cramping problems in his legs over his last two starts. "I need to talk to him about it," Ozzie Guillen said. "He is under contract for the next couple of years, and I want to make sure [he is healthy]. If we don't need him, there's no use taking the chance it might get worse." The White Sox enter Sunday's play 5.5 games behind the Twins in the AL wild-card race.
