The Chicago White Sox have placed closer Bobby Jenks on the bereavement list before the final game of their series against the Cubs.

The White Sox have been without Jenks the last three games as he tends to an undisclosed family matter. In Jenks' absence on Saturday, Matt Thornton pitched a scoreless ninth for the White Sox in a 2-1 win over the rival Cubs. The White Sox enter Sunday having won 11 straight.

White Sox manager Ozzie Guillen hopes to get Jenks back on Wednesday for the final game of a three-game series at Kansas City.

Jenks has 17 saves in 18 opportunities this season and has been perfect in his last 12 chances.

Jenks was replaced on the roster by left-handed reliever Erick Threets from Triple-A Charlotte.
