Mike Vasil

Chicago White Sox right-handed pitcher Mike Vasil (elbow) exited with a trainer during the middle of his Cactus League start against the Los Angeles Dodgers on Saturday. According to an announcement from the team, Vasil is experiencing right elbow soreness and will undergo additional evaluation. At the time of his departure, he had gone 3.2 scoreless innings with two hits, two walks, and three strikeouts. Vasil has been in the mix for a rotation spot this spring, making two relief appearances and two starts. That follows a similar trend from the 2025 regular season, in which the right-hander threw 101 innings across three starts and 44 bullpen outings. He typically offers long relief, and this new injury may impact his quest to make the White Sox' rotation out of camp. Anthony Kay and Erick Fedde are currently projected to earn regular-season starts over Sean Newcomb, who was confirmed as a reliever this weekend, and the injured Vasil.
