Drew Thorpe Feeling Good, To Throw Off A Mound Soon
Chicago White Sox general manager Chris Getz said that right-hander Drew Thorpe (elbow) is feeling good and should start throwing off a mound soon. "Playing catch right now. He'll be on a mound here shortly. We do expect him to be a little behind some of these other starters, but with that being said, we feel like he's going to be active throughout spring training," Getz said. Thorpe had surgery last September to remove a bone spur from his right elbow and has had multiple setbacks since, but it sounds as though the 24-year-old could still be ready for Opening Day in late March. If he's able to get past his elbow injuries, he'll have a good shot to open the year in the starting rotation. The former second-rounder by the New York Yankees in 2022 out of Cal Poly had a 5.48 ERA (5.87 FIP) and 1.26 WHIP with 25 K's and 21 walks in his first nine big-league starts in 2024. Fantasy managers in shallow mixed leagues can ignore Thorpe.
