Scouting Report
Updated May 19, 2026
Drew Thorpe (White Sox RHP) was transferred to the 60-day injured list on May 5, 2026, continuing his recovery from Tommy John surgery performed in April 2025. The 25-year-old was expected to miss the first few months of the regular season when initially placed on the IL in March. His move to the 60-day IL does not affect his recovery timeline, but the exact timeline for beginning a rehab assignment remains unknown. The White Sox acquired Trevor Richards in a corresponding trade with Philadelphia to fill the 40-man roster spot.
