The White Sox transferred Perez (elbow) to the 60-day injured list Monday.

Perez landed on the 15-day IL on Friday due to what was labeled left elbow inflammation. While the White Sox haven't revealed the results of an MRI, Perez being moved to the 60-day IL suggests the southpaw might be dealing with additional damage to the elbow. He won't be eligible to return until mid-June.

Valdez allowed two runs on seven hits and three walks while striking out two in six innings Sunday versus the Padres. He did not factor into the decision.

Valdez exhibited some early command issues with three walks and a run allowed in his first two innings. The Padres put up another run in the third after Fernando Tatis led off the frame with a triple. Valdez settled in with three scoreless frames over the back half of his start and ended at 87 pitches while pounding the zone with 63 strikes. It's been mixed results for Valdez through his first five starts, but he lowered his ERA to 4.50 after allowing seven runs against St. Louis to open up the week. He'll try to get back in the win column for the first time since his debut in a road start versus the Royals over the weekend.

Kikuchi allowed one run (zero earned) on five hits and four walks while striking out six in 5.1 innings Sunday against the Giants. He did not factor into the decision.

Kikuchi was unable to reach six innings for the first time this season but had another solid outing. He was able to escape a scoring threat in the fourth and struck out the side in the fifth despite allowing an unearned run. Kikuchi has not won a game yet, but he's been solid thus far with a 3.38 ERA through five starts. Kikuchi lines up to face the Twins on the road in his upcoming start over the weekend.

Verlander allowed one run on two hits and two walks in six innings Sunday in a no decision against the Angels. He struck out six.

Verlander's lone run allowed came on a fifth-inning solo blast by Zach Neto to knot the game at one. Verlander exited in line for the win after tossing 98 pitches but was left hanging after the Angels put up three runs in the ninth to walk it off. The 42-year-old put together a much-needed quality start after being tagged for 13 runs (12 earned) in his previous 13.2 innings. Verlander will be in search of his first win this season in a home start versus the Rangers over the weekend.

Senzatela (1-3) allowed one run on six hits and a walk over six innings during Game 2 of Sunday's doubleheader against Washington. He struck out two batters and earned a win.

Senzatela gave up a run in the first inning before delivering five scoreless frames to produce his first quality start of the year. It was also the first time he finished at least six innings this season, and the solid outing snapped a three-start losing streak. Senzatela dropped his ERA to 4.81 alongside a lackluster 9:5 K:BB through 24.1 frames. He's given up a whopping 42 hits during that span. Senzatela is lined up for a home matchup with the Reds next weekend.

Lara was optioned to Triple-A Rochester following Sunday's doubleheader against the Rockies.

Lara served as the team's 27th man for Sunday's action with Colorado, but he failed to make an appearance out of the bullpen. The right-hander will now return to Triple-A, having posted a 9.26 ERA over 11.2 innings in three starts with Rochester so far this season.

Mahle threw seven scoreless innings in Sunday's 1-0 loss to the Dodgers, allowing two hits and three walks while striking out four.

Mahle continued his sensational start to the year with his third scoreless outing of at least five innings. He ended his dominant performance with a strikeout of Miguel Rojas to strand a runner at second. Mahle's been one of the early surprises in baseball after being limited to just eight starts over the last two seasons due to injury. He leads with majors with a 0.68 ERA through five starts and will take the mound again on the road versus the Giants next weekend.

Irvin (2-0) allowed two runs on three hits over 6.1 innings during Game 1 of Sunday's doubleheader in Colorado. He struck out nine and earned the win.

Irvin was dominant outside of the solo home runs he coughed up to Zac Veen and Braxton Fulford in the third and sixth innings, respectively. The nine punchouts were Irvin's best total since June 23, 2024. He threw 55 of 83 pitches for strikes and forced 14 whiffs, including nine with the curveball. Irvin has posted a 15:1 K:BB while yielding two runs over 13.1 innings in his last two outings. He's lined up to face the Mets at home next weekend.

Holmes (2-1) earned the win against the Twins on Sunday, allowing one run on four hits and four walks with seven strikeouts over 5.2 innings.

Holmes wasn't particularly efficient, throwing just 58 of 105 pitches for strikes and generating only 10 whiffs. He's issued four walks in three of his four starts this season but has also allowed three earned runs or fewer three times. As a result, the 29-year-old owns a 3.22 ERA, 1.21 WHIP and 22:14 K:BB across 22.1 innings. He'll aim for a third straight win in a tough matchup with the Diamondbacks next weekend.

Ryan (1-2) took the loss against Atlanta on Sunday, allowing six runs on eight hits and one walk with five strikeouts over five innings.

Ryan surrendered three home runs and a total of 12 hard-hit balls in a forgettable outing. He's also struggled to work deep into games, exceeding five innings just once in five starts on the year. The 28-year-old owns a 4.00 ERA, 0.96 WHIP and 28:3 K:BB across 27 innings and will aim to get back on track in a home matchup with the Angels next weekend.
