Bug Bites Sideline White Sox's Dye

Chicago White Sox right fielder Jermaine Dye was out of the lineup for a period of time as he recovered from bug bites to his left leg that became infected.

CHICAGO - Chicago White Sox right fielder Jermaine Dye was out of the lineup for a fourth straight game Sunday as he recovered from bug bites to his left leg that became infected.

“It’s just a weird injury. Not really an injury but just a weird situation,” Dye said Sunday before a game against the Boston Red Sox.

“Being bit by a spider five times and having it turn out to be something that’s pretty serious, you worry about it a little bit. That’s why I went to the hospital and got IVs and all the antibiotics in me, so it wouldn’t spread too much and become real dangerous.”

Dye said he apparently was bitten in his bed at a hotel in Cleveland, where the White Sox played four games right after the All-Star break.
