It was a hectic week for John Danks. Leading up to his start on Sunday against the Mariners, the rookie southpaw was shuffled in and out of the rotation as manager Ozzie Guillen tried to set his starting five.

When it was all set, Guillen opted to give the 22-year-old Danks some rest, rather than skip a start, and then he would go with his usual No. 5 starter against one of the top offenses in the American League.

Maybe he could have used the week off.

Danks gave up six runs on eight hits, including three home runs, in 4 1/3 innings as the Mariners blasted the White Sox, 6-0, at U.S. Cellular Field on a hot Sunday afternoon.

Following his last start in a 2-1 loss to Cleveland on Tuesday, Danks was initially slated to make his next start on time. But midway through the week, Guillen elected to have Jose Contreras make the start instead, in order to give the rookie a day off. But after Contreras threw two innings out of the bullpen on Wednesday, Guillen reinserted Danks back into the starting rotation.
