White Sox righthander Lance Broadway left his Sunday start against Durham after just two pitches due to lower back pain.

The 2005 first-round pick out of Texas Christian, who is 0-1, 3.04 in 24 innings at Triple-A Charlotte this season, was expected to see a doctor when the club arrived back in Charlotte today.

“We don’t think it’s anything serious and he was removed for precautionary reasons,” Sox farm director Alan Regier said. “He couldn’t get full extension on his pitches. It wasn’t bad while he was warming up, but once the game intensity picked up we decided to take him out and see what’s going on.”
