Scouting Report
Updated May 20, 2026
Prelander Berroa, 26-year-old White Sox right-handed pitcher, underwent Tommy John surgery on March 7, 2025, and began a rehab assignment in May 2026. However, he was pulled from his first rehab outing after only four pitches due to control issues (four consecutive balls).

In his last healthy 2024 season, Berroa posted a 3.32 ERA with 26 strikeouts across 19 innings out of the bullpen in 17 appearances.
