"&lt;p&gt;&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;Chicago White Sox first baseman/DH Paul Konerko has a fractured sesamoid bone in his left hand, the team announced Friday.\r\n\r\n&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;Konerko sustained the injury making a tag in Chicago's game Tuesday against the Minnesota Twins.\r\n\r\n&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;&lt;strong&gt;CORCORAN: Which teams could play spoiler in September?&lt;/strong&gt;\r\n\r\n&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;The injury isn't season-ending, but Konerko could miss up to a week. According to MLB.com's Scott Merkin, Konerko has been told he can't further damage his hand by playing through the injury.\r\n\r\n&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;The 38-year-old announced earlier this year that he will retire after this season. The 18-year-veteran has hit .279 with an .842 OPS and 439 home runs over his career and has made six All-Star teams.\r\n\r\n&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;This season, Konerko&amp;nbsp;is hitting .220 with five home runs in 186 at-bats.\r\n\r\n&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;\r\n\r\n&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;- &lt;i&gt;Ben Estes&lt;/i&gt;\r\n\r\n&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;&amp;nbsp;\r\n&lt;/p&gt;"^^<http://www.w3.org/2001/XMLSchema#string>
