Starters posted on Yahoo. Konerko officially out. Any reason?

To follow up, I've just learned that Konerko had to leave for the day. Death in the family. Hope all's well with him...

Re Saturday's game:

The White Sox expect first baseman Paul Konerko to be back after he missed Friday's game due to a death in the family. It's also been a difficult season on the field for Konerko, who's hitting .178 with only five RBIs in 21 home games.

I hope it wasn't an immediate family member. This is where Fantasy takes a back seat to reality.

Any news on whether or not he'll be in the lineup tonight (Saturday)? Last I heard was that Ozzie Guillen "believes" that he'll make it back in time to play... see quote below from KFFL:

May 26 Scott Merkin, of Chicago.WhiteSox.MLB.com, reports Chicago White Sox 1B Paul Konerko (personal) did not play Friday, May 25, because he was away from the team dealing with a death in the family. Manager Ozzie Guillen believes Konerko will be back on time for the team's game Saturday, May 26.
