Riley Baldwin: Everything you need to know

The White Sox transferred Baldwin (elbow) from the 10-day injured list to the 60-day IL on Wednesday. The transaction is merely a formality, as Baldwin is already slated to miss the rest of the season after undergoing internal brace surgery on his right elbow last Wednesday. The utility player will cede his spot on the White Sox's 40-man roster to left-hander Tyler Schweitzer, who was called up from Triple-A Charlotte.

Baldwin underwent season-ending internal brace surgery April 1 to repair a right UCL tear, Brooke Fletcher of the Chicago Sports Network reports. Baldwin was hurt during spring training and eventually diagnosed with a sprained UCL. The utility player elected to have surgery rather than rest and rehab, which has ended his 2026 campaign before it starts. Baldwin is expected to be ready for the start of spring training next year.

The White Sox placed Baldwin (elbow) on the 10-day injured list Wednesday. After Baldwin's right elbow injury was previously described as soreness, the White Sox are officially listing him with a right elbow sprain, suggesting that he's dealing with ligament damage. Even if Baldwin doesn't wind up requiring surgery, the utility player might be looking at an extended absence.
