Drew Thorpe Could Throw Off The Mound Next Week
According to Scott Merkin of MLB.com, Chicago White Sox starting pitcher Drew Thorpe (elbow) could throw off the mound at "some point" next week, depending on how well he progresses this week. Thorpe underwent surgery in September to remove a bone spur and then faced several setbacks during the offseason. Fantasy managers should continue to monitor the 24-year-old's status during spring training as he would likely have a spot in the Opening Day rotation if he is cleared for action. However, given his current status, he may begin the season on the injured list. Thorpe spent most of the season in Double-A and was able to skip the Triple-A level entirely when he made his big league debut. Across his first 44 1/3 innings in the majors, the right-hander posted a 5.48 ERA and a 1.26 WHIP. Given his current status, he should only be targeted in AL-only formats.
