Drew Thorpe "Continues To Progress"
Chicago White Sox starting pitcher Drew Thorpe (elbow) "continues to progress." Thorpe has been throwing fastballs and changeups exclusively during his bullpen sessions and has yet to throw a breaking ball. The Cal Poly product is slowly working his way back from the elbow surgery he underwent in September to remove a bone spur. Thorpe has faced a few setbacks during his recovery process, which has delayed his timetable. Fantasy managers should continue to monitor his status, and he begins to increase his workload slowly. When Thorpe begins to add breaking balls to his pitch mix, he could then be cleared to face live hitters. Given his current timetable, Thorpe is not expected to be ready for Opening Day. The 24-year-old was given his first taste of the majors last season and held a 5.84 ERA and a 1.26 WHIP across 44 1/3 innings. When he is cleared to return, he should have a spot in the starting rotation and carry value in deeper formats.
