White Sox's Drew Thorpe: Fully recovered from elbow surgery
White Sox general manager Chris Getz said Wednesday that Thorpe (elbow) is going through his normal offseason throwing program and expected to be 100 percent for spring training, Scott Merkin of MLB.com reports.
Thorpe underwent surgery in early September to remove a bone spur in his right elbow but has apparently already made a full recovery. The young right-hander posted a 5.48 ERA, 1.26 WHIP and 25:21 K:BB in 44.1 innings for the White Sox in 2024 and has a good shot to open the 2025 season in the big-league rotation.

White Sox's Drew Thorpe: Requires season-ending surgery
The White Sox announced Sunday that Thorpe will undergo season-ending surgery Saturday in San Francisco to remove a bone spur in his right elbow, Scott Merkin of MLB.com reports.
On the shelf since Aug. 2 with what the White Sox had labeled as a right flexor strain, Thorpe appeared to be gearing up for a late-season return after he began a throwing program in mid-August. Thorpe never advanced beyond playing catch before the bone spur was detected in his elbow, and while the issue isn't a significant one, he'll opt to treat the injury with surgery rather than attempting to pitch through it. Thorpe is expected to be fully cleared in advance of spring training, when he'll look to solidify a spot in the White Sox's Opening Day rotation. The 23-year-old righty went 3-3 with a 5.48 ERA, 1.26 WHIP and 25:21 K:BB in 44.1 innings over his first nine big-league starts before landing on the injured list.

White Sox's Drew Thorpe: Throws from 60 feet
Thorpe (forearm) threw from 60 feet on Aug. 15, MLB.com reports.
The White Sox haven't provided many updates in regards to Thorpe's status, though he appears to be making progress. It's unclear if he'll be able to return this season, but if he does it would only be for a couple of starts.

White Sox's Drew Thorpe: Will throw Thursday
Thorpe (forearm) will begin a throwing program Thursday, James Fegan of SoxMachine.com reports.
Thorpe has been shut down from throwing for nearly two weeks since he landed on the IL with a right flexor strain. It's unclear how long it will take for him to build up to a starter's workload, though the 29-91 White Sox won't need to worry about rushing him back.

White Sox's Drew Thorpe: Placed on IL with flexor strain
The White Sox placed Thorpe on the 15-day injured list Friday with a right flexor strain.
It's not clear when Thorpe was injured, but he had surrendered a combined 14 runs over his last two starts. Given the nature of the injury, the rookie right-hander could be in store for a lengthy absence. Thorpe has posted a 5.48 ERA and 25:21 K:BB over 44.1 innings in his first nine major-league starts.

White Sox's Drew Thorpe: Routed by Royals
Thorpe (3-3) took the loss Wednesday, coughing up six runs on seven hits and two walks over five innings as the White Sox were downed 10-3 by the Royals. He failed to strike out a batter.
The rookie right-hander got tagged for at least one run in each of the first three innings, with a two-run shot by Freddy Fermin in the second being the biggest blow. Thorpe reeled off five straight quality starts at one point, but over his last two outings he's been crushed for 14 runs in only 5.2 innings, sending his ERA soaring from 3.03 to 5.48. He'll try to turn things around in his next trip to the mound, which is scheduled to come on the road early next week in Oakland.

White Sox's Drew Thorpe: Falters in first frame Friday
Thorpe (3-2) took the loss Friday, surrendering eight runs on six hits -- including three home runs -- and two walks in only two-thirds of an inning as the White Sox were routed 10-0 by the Mariners. He struck out one.
The rookie right-hander's eighth career start was an absolute disaster, as Seattle batted around in the first inning and launched back-to-back-to-back homers off Thorpe to chase him from the game. The brutal performance sent his ERA soaring from 3.03 to 4.81, and it snapped his streak of five straight quality starts. Thorpe will try to shake it off and get back on track in his next outing, which lines up to come at home next week against the Royals.

White Sox's Drew Thorpe: Dazzles in no-decision
Thorpe didn't factor into the decision in Sunday's 4-1 loss to the Royals. He pitched six scoreless innings, allowing three hits and two walks while striking out five.
Thorpe was impressive yet again Sunday, registering a start of six scoreless innings for the second time in his first seven career outings. He was pulled in the seventh after reaching 97 pitches, and his bullpen couldn't hold on to the 1-0 lead he left them. Thorpe has been one of the better rookie hurlers in the American League, as he now has a streak of five straight quality starts. Outside of his June 16 appearance, when he gave up seven earned runs, the 23-year-old has given up only six earned runs over his other six starts.
