Drew Thorpe, recently acquired by the Chicago White Sox, experiences a significant setback as he faces Tommy John surgery due to elbow discomfort, preventing him from participating in the entire season. Manager Will Venable expressed disappointment over Thorpe's injury, acknowledging his hard work and progress. The team also dealt with another injury setback as infielder Brandon Drury sustained a fractured left thumb, leading to further evaluations on his recovery timeline. Thorpe had 3 wins but struggled with a 5.48 ERA in the previous season despite a promising start in Double-A.
"Obviously, it's super frustrating. It feels like I worked my ass off to get back. So it's kind of a gut punch."
"Another tough one (with Drury's news). Brandon has looked amazing... that was another tough one and continue to evaluate him and see where we're at."
