KANSAS CITY, Mo. -- On a night when Danny Duffy pitched his first complete game for Kansas City, Chicago White Sox starter Miguel Gonzalez logged only one inning, and now he is probably headed to the disabled list.Gonzalez was removed after 21 pitches with a right groin strain, and the White Sox lost 2-1 to Duffy and the Royals on Thursday night.Gonzalez would be the 10th Chicago player on the disabled list.It probably looks like it, White Sox manager Robin Ventura said. It was enough that he knew he pulled it pretty good. So, theres a pretty good chance of that.He pulled something, up on his thigh, like towards his groin. There wasnt really a chance to leave him in there and work through it. He knew it was enough to take him out. Well know more tomorrow. Theyve been icing down and trying to figure it out.Gonzalez said he has had the injury in the past while with the Baltimore Orioles and landed on the disabled list.I understand the situation, he said. I just need to get better and get ready for going in three weeks. That way I dont have to rush it. And we have guys on the DL right now. Thats the last thing we want, guys to rush and then come back and try to pitch with it and youre not going to be a 100 percent. Id rather be at 100 percent, for sure.Duffy won his eighth straight decision, and Cheslor Cuthbert had two hits and drove in a run as the Royals won the series finale.Duffy (9-1) limited the White Sox to seven singles, struck out six and walked none. The left-hander has not lost since June 6 and has a 1.73 ERA in his past five starts. Duffy threw 98 pitches, 71 for strikes.Duffy moved into the rotation on May 15 and has thrown eight or more innings in four starts.White Sox slugger Todd Frazier went 0 for 4 and struck out twice.Deception on his off-speed pitches, Frazier said of Duffy. It looks like fastballs and then, the last second, you see it and its already by you.Cuthbert, whose triple scored Jarrod Dyson in the sixth, is second among AL rookies with 93 hits, 24 multihit games and a .303 batting average. Dyson was initially called out trying to steal second, but the Royals appealed and the call was overturned.Cuthbert scored the go-ahead run on Eric Hosmers single off Carson Fulmer (0-2). Fulmer has an 8.47 ERA in eight relief appearances.Chicagos Jason Coats, recalled Tuesday from Triple-A Charlotte, singled home Tim Anderson with two outs in the second for his first major league RBI.VOTE OF CONFIDENCEVentura said he is sticking with David Robertson as his closer, although he blew saves in the first two games of this series and six this season. At some point its going to turn for me and hopefully Ill get on a roll, Robertson said. Right now Ive definitely been doing a poor job out there and I need to pick it up.UP NEXTWhite Sox: LHP Carlos Rodon (2-8, 4.49) seeks his first road victory since April 13 at Miami.

It was the kind of score that might make everyone else wonder which course he was playing. Except that Graeme McDowell saw the whole thing. Crouched behind the 10th green at Sheshan International, McDowell looked over at the powerful American and said, "Ive probably seen 18 of the best drives Ive seen all year in the last two days.Rory McIlroy has hinted that he will put the BMW PGA Championship back on his schedule next year, but Turkey is set to remain off the menu for the world No. 2.McIlroy had missed the cut in three of his six appearances at Wentworth before tasting victory in 2014, and also made an early exit in defence of his title 12 months later.The four-time major winner did not play this year but is set to feature in 2017, when the event will be part of the European Tours new Rolex Series, a group of seven tournaments with a minimum prize fund of $7 million (￡5.6 million).I wouldnt be surprised to see me back at Wentworth next year, said McIlroy, who also welcomed the inclusion of the Irish Open -- hosted by his own foundation -- in the Rolex Series.The European Tour and Rolex will make up the ￡10 million total shortfall in funding for the BMW PGA Championship, Irish Open and Scottish Open, with the Italian Open, Turkish Airlines Open, Nedbank Golf Challenge and DP World Tour Championship already meeting the prize-fund requirements.However, even the riches on offer in Turkey seem unlikely to tempt McIlroy back to the country following his withdrawal from this years event because of security concerns.McIlroy was not alone in pulling out, but as the star attraction his absence was keenly felt and the manner of his withdrawal drew criticism from Turkish Golf Federation president Ahmet Agaoglu, who heard about it via the media.The 27-year-old also missed the Olympics in Rio after citing concerns over the Zika virus but does not feel his reputation has suffered as a result.I think I do enough good things on the golf course and off the golf course in terms of what I do charity-wise and how I try to carry myself, McIlroy said ahead of the DP World Tour Championship in Dubai..dddddddddddd Pulling out of a couple of golf tournaments I dont think is going to damage that.Id rather go to Turkey wanting to win the golf tournament than go to Turkey and not want to be there and finish 40th. What good does that do for the tournament? That does nothing for them.The biggest way they can promote golf in Turkey -- OK, they can have my face everywhere on posters -- is me lifting that trophy at the end of the week. If I dont feel comfortable being there Im not going to win the golf tournament.Asked if he was likely to play next year, McIlroy added: After what I read, maybe not.At least McIlroys schedule at the start of 2017 will be busy, the Northern Irishman fulfilling a promise to Ernie Els to play the South African Open in January -- My last IOU from the 2015 Irish Open -- before tournaments in Abu Dhabi, Dubai, Los Angeles, Florida (two), Mexico and Texas.After that comes his third attempt to complete the career Grand Slam by winning the Masters, a task he admits was hampered this year by being too proud to seek help with his inconsistent putting.I was stubborn and wanted to figure it out on my own, but I really needed a second opinion, added McIlroy, who eventually sought help from putting expert Phil Kenyon and went on to win the Tour Championship and FedEx Cup.I always figured that if you figure something out on your own, you take ownership of it and its yours. Whereas I felt like my putting was sometimes what other people were telling me what to do, and it was never really mine.But sometimes you need a little bit of help, and I went and got that in August and it really turned the season around for me.
