The White Sox announced they've placed rookie starter Drew Thorpe on the 15-day injured list, retroactive to August 1, with a flexor strain. Thorpe told reporters this evening that imaging didn't reveal anything serious. The 23-year-old is nine starts into his MLB career, struggling with an elevated ERA, below-average strikeout rate, and high walk rate.
Thorpe, a former top prospect traded from the Yankees to the Padres and then to the White Sox, impressed in Double-A before moving to the big leagues. Chicago's season has been challenging, with Thorpe representing a key evaluation amidst a focus on health and long-term player development.
