Oscar Colás spent a portion of Saturday afternoon at Target Field with Chicago White Sox major-league field coordinator Mike Tosar.Secondary leads were the focus.“I was working on how to take off,” Colás said through an interpreter before the game against the Minnesota Twins. “I’m having a little bit of difficulty with my back leg when I’m going to take off.”Colás continues to learn, adapt and apply at the plate, on the bases and in right field since the Sox recalled him from Triple-A Charlotte on July 4. He’s concentrating on “just being more consistent.”Colás entered Saturday slashing .200/.237/.264 with four doubles, one home run and nine RBIs in 36 games.Manager Pedro Grifol has seen some adjustments from the 24-year-old. And he’s still working on other things.“We have to dial down on the intensity level,” Grifol said Friday. “This might sound a little weird, but he plays the game a...Oregon hospital security guard dies after being shot in hospital; police later kill suspect
