The Chicago White Sox announced that pitcher Drew Thorpe will have Tommy John surgery, with recovery expected to take 13-15 months. This follows a difficult period in which the 24-year-old righty dealt with injuries, including a flexor strain and a previous surgery to remove a bone spur. Thorpe was a promising second-round draft pick and part of significant trades, including moves between the Yankees, Padres, and White Sox. His injury setback means he will miss vital developmental time, delaying his potential impact in the major leagues until at least 2026.
In a harsh blow to the team's future, Drew Thorpe will undergo Tommy John surgery, sidelining him for 13-15 months after a series of injuries.
After a promising start to his career, Thorpe will lose more than a year of crucial development, delaying his chance to establish himself in the MLB.
