Prelander Berroa

Chicago White Sox right-handers Prelander Berroa (elbow) and Juan Carela (elbow) both will need Tommy John surgery, according to the team. It means that both pitchers will miss the entire 2025 season and could be forced to miss the start of next year as well. Berroa, 24, was initially injured during a Cactus League outing late last month. The White Sox added Carela, 23, to their 40-man roster in the offseason to protect him from the Rule 5 draft. Berroa was the one that had a shot to be a high-leverage arm for the Pale Hose out of their bullpen this year after sporting a 3.32 ERA (4.01 FIP) and 1.47 WHIP with 26 strikeouts and 13 walks in 19 relief innings in the big leagues last year. The hard-throwing righty had three holds and a win and had shown plenty of strikeout upside. Both he and Carela have long recoveries ahead of them.
