Drew Thorpe Throws Quality Start, Picks Up Win Friday
5 months agoChicago White Sox starting pitcher Drew Thorpe (3-1) picked up the win and recorded a quality start on Friday night, going 6 1/3 innings while allowing one run on three hits and two walks with five strikeouts in a 3-2 victory versus the Miami Marlins. The rookie didn't make it out of the fifth inning in his first two starts but has logged back-to-back quality starts, going 12 innings while allowing only two runs on two hits with nine strikeouts. Thorpe, acquired in the Dylan Cease trade before the season started, is only rostered in 26% of fantasy leagues and could provide solid short-term or streaming value. Still, his upside will be heavily limited, with not many wins expected the rest of the season, along with the potential for a shutdown target date or innings limit later on this year. His next start is schedule for next week at home versus the Minnesota Twins, and he could be worth an add for a team needing an injury replacement or streamer option.
