Jesse Crain (groin) tossed a scoreless inning of relief Friday against the Brewers.

Crain allowed one hit and struck out one. The veteran right-hander has been nursing a groin injury this spring, but he appears to be on track for the start of the season.

Jesse Crain (groin) returned to action Monday and allowed four runs on three hits and a walk over two-thirds of an inning against the Angels.

Crain pitched in a pair of minor league games over the past week, but this was his first Cactus League appearance since February 25. While it wasn't pretty, he felt healthy and was clocked in the 93-94 mph range, according to Dan Hayes of CSNChicago.com. He's expected to make his next appearance Wednesday, after which the White Sox will make a decision whether to have him begin the season on the disabled list.

Jesse Crain (groin) is scheduled to pitch in a minor league game on Saturday.

Crain felt renewed groin discomfort after a minor league appearance on Wednesday, but it's apparently not serious enough to keep him out of action. The White Sox haven't ruled him out for the start of the season, but a stint on the disabled list is a possibility.
