Andrew Thorpe: Everything you need to know

Thorpe (elbow) has thrown seven bullpen sessions as part of his rehab process, MLB.com reports. Thorpe was transferred to the 60-day injured list Tuesday, but that's not an indication of the progress in his recovery from Tommy John surgery. It's unclear when he may begin a rehab assignment, but that will likely be the next step.

The White Sox transferred Thorpe (elbow) to the 60-day injured list Tuesday. Thorpe was expected to miss the first few months of the regular season when he landed on the IL in March, so his move to the 60-day IL doesn't affect his timeline. The 25-year-old righty is entering the late stages of his recovery from a Tommy John procedure he underwent in April 2025. However, it remains unknown how far he is from beginning a rehab assignment. In the meantime, the White Sox will give his 40-man spot to Trevor Richards, who was acquired in a trade with Philadelphia on Tuesday.

The White Sox placed Thorpe (elbow) on the 15-day injured list Wednesday. Thorpe had Tommy John surgery last April and encountered a setback in February when he developed tendinitis in his elbow. He's been throwing off the mound for a few weeks, however, and should be ready for a rehab assignment soon. Still, given the long layoff, Thorpe is a candidate to be shifted to the 60-day IL eventually.
